no, they don't speak a word. not here. lips press to thighs; tongues, slick with anticipation, know their way around this room. their language is caught in the throats they bite, choked back by the hands that dig their tracks next to the spine. they're somewhere between a first kiss and a last ****, suspended but somehow tethered in a web of lust and lies. their emotional open wounds or their physical caverns, no one is quite sure what needs to be filled more. skin is pressed so tightly to skin that the sweat can't drip; they just slide. 'laced fingers and foreheads pressed together, there's no room for honesty. not here.
