As he knelt, she drank another long swallow of ice water and then set the glass aside to move to the edge of the couch. She hardly waited for the second knee to touch the ground before she reached out to cradle his jaw in her hand, tilt his head up enough so she could look into his eyes.
A significant part of her wanted to take the space he was in and use it. Kiss him once softly, and leave him to kneel there while she ate. Feed him a bite of food from her plate, press a foot to his crotch and let him rock against it, stroke his hair and then stand and walk away, so that he couldn't see but only hear her. That part wanted to see just how far she could put him into this raw, exposed, vulnerable space and how long he'd stay there.
But they hadn't intended anything like this, and she was still raw from the week and last night especially. While she would happily explore what got him hot, she couldn't let herself do it while teetering at the edge of an emotional precipice. So she didn't do any of those things, only murmured his name and then drew him towards her to rest his head on her knees.
