DESPERATE
By Rocky
Not like this.
All the times he'd imagined it, she'd come to him from desire. Even--in his
more optimistic moments--love. At last she'd quit resisting. And he'd be
waiting.
But he'd never thought she'd come out of desperation.
And so he was poised to reject her, tell her it was too late. That the time
had long since passed for the two of them.
Until he saw the look in her eyes, the naked need. And so he yielded, driven
by something he didn't quite understand.
Not until later did he wonder which of them was truly desperate.
