we might be hurting, but I'm ready for the free fall
If Jude's heart was beating wildly, then so was hers, as emotions and feelings and thoughts all collided in her mind. She could scarcely believe that this was real, that it wasn't a dream that she'd wake up from only to find that he'd disappeared, that she was left alone, that she'd never felt his lips on hers or his hand skimming over her skin. It was a slow burn that was made all the sweeter for the waiting, and as she gazed into his eyes, complete trust and adoration shining from her own, she could only comprehend the depth of love that she had for him - her best friend, and now so much more.
With a shy smile, and watching him as closely as he watched her, her hand skimmed down from his chest to lightly trace across his stomach, lifting to settle momentarily on his waist. But she didn't stay in any one spot for long, too eager to continue exploring him. Her fingers glided up to his ribs, skittered back across his chest, and then back up to his neck for her to run her fingers once more through his curls, every touch soft, gentle, lingering. She hadn't felt so relaxed and content in weeks, and it showed in the leisurely caress of her fingertips against him.
