Pretending doesn't mean it's not realSophiaPressed into the shadows, Ryan’s lips tight against mine, I have to convince myself that none of this is real.When he holds me tightly, I have to hide my trembling hands.When he kisses me along the tenderness of my neck, it takes all my strength not to moan.And when he undresses in front of me, I have to pretend I’m looking away so he doesn’t see my cheeks flush red.I have to ignore the way my heart skips a thousand beats, the way my stomach turns around and around in somersaults, that tingly sensation all over my body when he dances his fingers over my sensitive skin.No matter how much it makes me wonder if he really is pretending, I can’t afford to lose myself in that look of pure desire that flashes across his eyes like entire universes compacting.Even if he does the things to me I’ve never felt anyone do before, what if I’m wrong?
