A protesting sound murmured from her as he shifted, and for a moment, Tinder was certain she'd ruined everything, that he was leaving and done because she'd destroyed a powerful, precious thing with as simple a thing as a half-panicked whisper. But then he wasn't. He was right there against her, caressing her cheek and making sure she knew she'd heard him right.
What's more, as his body covered hers with a comforting, almost possessive weight: that it hadn't been a mistake. Her lips tingled differently in the wake of a tender kiss, her body still lax from ferocious loving, from a pleasure that could be spent only with a consort. "My world has been shadow, smoke, fog, cover of darkness, lies, betrayal and greed," she started, covering his mouth briefly with her own. "As far back as I can remember it's been that way, letting myself be used, hiding my flame, daring very little to be noticed, or different, and certainly not playing. No one...I...Breakfast...This...You. You see me, Jesse. You saw me, the minute I fell through the front door. I don't think I'm going to be able to let you let me go," She chuckled softly, brushed at his locks where they'd tumbled forward. "Because, well..."
"You are sunlight." Perhaps it was cheesy, but it was all she could give right now, and it welled from her like a reverent oath. She trailed the backs of her fingers over the jaw of a man who'd captured her utterly. Not in a way that caged her, no, not like the others she'd known. But in a way that kept her safe, that set her free. To be herself. To be Tinder.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
