Our Sex

I never thought sharing a bed would feel like walking a tightrope. Every breath, every shift in the sheets—it’s all charged now. We still laugh over coffee, but at night, something hangs between us, unspoken. Is it distance growing… or desire finally breaking through? This isn’t just about sex. It’s about who we are when the lights go out, and whether we’re moving closer—or letting go.

I never thought sharing a bed would feel like walking a tightrope. Every breath, every shift in the sheets—it’s all charged now. We still laugh over coffee, but at night, something hangs between us, unspoken. Is it distance growing… or desire finally breaking through? This isn’t just about sex. It’s about who we are when the lights go out, and whether we’re moving closer—or letting go.

My hand hovers over your hip, then pulls back. Again. Like I’m afraid touching you will break something—or worse, that it won’t.

We’re lying here, side by side, not touching, not talking, just listening to the AC kick on. Another night, another silent agreement to fall asleep first. But I don’t want to sleep. I want… I don’t even know what I want.

Then my phone buzzes. A message from Jamie: Still think about that night in the rain.

Your arm shifts slightly, like you might turn over. My thumb hovers above reply.

Do I answer? Do I tell you? Or do I let this moment pass like all the others?
