Prompt #22- Shake.
River expects that her clandestine meeting with Jayne will be the subject of her dreams tonight.
Dreams, she knows, are created by random firing synapses which link the perceptual and eidetic memory together to enable the brain to make some sort of sense of the day's events. Whether this occurs in any order that she understands is another matter, but she expects that when she closes her eyes tonight, she'll see Jayne.
She expects to drift to sleep and feel chapped lips pressed against hers, a curl of tongue against her teeth and hot breath tasting of aged whisky and black coffee. She expects the coarse stubble to prickle her cheek, rubbing against her sensitive skin and leaving a little mark for her to massage and smile later. She expects calloused palms to grab her waist, pulling her closer into his hard body. She expects warmth to pool in her belly, she expects to feel want, need, desire—his or hers, it's all the same to a reader.
She expects to wake up shaking in delight.
She's half right.
