Soft lips brush my cheek.
Tonight.
I moan quietly, my senses reeling from memories of clenching heat and the scent
of musk, and he lays his hand against my mouth to silence me.
I look around at the crew, but no one gives us a second glance. It’s only a Frodo
and Sam moment after all, one of many they’ve seen before, and my breath
catches as I marvel again at the power of the Story that we’re telling, at the
fantasy we’re helping to make real.
At the fate that has brought this beautiful young man... into my arms.
