Salt on My Skin, Your Name on My Breath

The sunset isn't just bleeding into the ocean; it’s staining my skin with a warmth that feels almost personal. I can feel you watching me from the shadows of the dunes, your gaze heavier than the humid air between us. Every time the wind catches my hair, I wonder if you’re counting how many strands escape my fingers.

I know why we came here—to 'find peace.' But there is no peace in the way my pulse quickens when you step closer, the sand crunching beneath your feet like a countdown. You haven't touched me yet, but I can feel the electricity of your intent vibrating against my collarbone. It’s a game of proximity, a delicious torture where we measure the distance between skin and breath.

I turn slightly, letting the light catch the curve of my shoulder just for you. I want to see that flicker in your eyes—the moment where 'friendship' becomes a liability and desire becomes inevitable. The waves are crashing behind us, a chaotic symphony to our silent standoff. You’re waiting for me to break first, but honestly? I’m just waiting to see how long you can handle the heat of my silence before you finally reach out.
