Falling Together

Written by agent_starbuck

Rating: Explicit

Leaning up against his bedroom door, she closes her eyes as she lets out a shuddering breath. Even though only moments ago she was fast asleep on his sofa, oblivious to the world around her, her mind and body were now humming with nervous excitement. How many times has she dreamed of this? Wished and hoped and prayed that they would both come to their senses, and just fall together one night.

Was tonight that night?
