TDBSaS - Snippet
I realized that I haven't made an update in a while, despite consistently working on this project. So uhhhh... have an update. Nearly 26,000 words down in this zero draft and I hit the halfway point of this book and also the scene I've been waiting so long for: a vague sex scene in a boat surrounded by glowing algae. AKA, the glowing algae sex scene!
Aside from a light touching of chests, though, there's not explicit content here.
Your skin, already so pale, took on a moon-like glow when I followed the shadowed divot of your wrist, the sharp curve of your elbow. When we locked eyes, the sea reflected back at me. “Edera.” My name fell from the soft curve of your lips and landed in the space between us, as fragile as featherdown. You didn’t resist when I pulled you towards me. We fell back against the slats, me hovering above and you cradled by the luzzu. Your hair shone silver, framing an expression so full of longing I physically ached to witness it. How breathtaking; how devastating. With agonizing slowness, you trailed a hand down my chest—across the pouch of bone shards, across the modest peaks of my breasts—and to the muscled planes of my stomach. Your three fingers twitched as they worked at the tie of my trousers. Then, as the strings pulled free, you cocked your head and examined me with furrowed brows. My mouth dried. “What?” “The light.” You ghosted the back of one hand along my cheek. “So breath-taking. You’re glowing like the stars.”
