“Do you remember this?” I opened my eyes sluggishly, barely able to keep them open as tired as I was. I still find it amazing how the body could be resplendently buzzing with excitement while simultaneously sapped of all energy. Not for nothing, but I think Ryder and I have had more sex this time around than we used to before.
I might have mistakenly believed it to be trauma bonding, but I think we were way past that by now. So much had been said, so many misunderstandings finally resolved that now there was nothing between us but the affection we once held for each other with the added bonus of time and experience.
