Sorry it took me so long to comment!! It was not for lack of enjoyment of the chapters - just life stuff. Thank you for two wonderful installments of this series.
You write Hetty and Trevor's dynamic just so beautifully. I love how ravenous they are for each other in the opening part of this chapter, just groaning loudly and lustily for each other, and Trevor talking dirty to Hetty about how wet she is. And the descriptions of the movement of his tongue and fingers, and how he is riling Hetty up to the point of dripping with need. Perfection.
Which makes it all the more heartbreaking when Hetty has a trauma flashback during sex. God, our poor girl. PTSD is so real. I'm glad Hetty at least knew she could say "stop" - but god that's such a fucking low bar. It really hurt my heart - especially since they both know what happened, without Hetty having to say it. And god, my heart also ached at Hetty thinking of sex as something transactional - like of course it will take a while for her to unlearn all of the coping mechanisms she had while she was alive, but I hope she gets to the point where she sees it as connection like Trevor. The end of the chapter seemed like a gesture towards that.
The "pillow talk without the talking" was very healing though. And I absolutely lost it with laughter at "Trevor chuckled, “I’m going to get you to say ‘sex’ someday”. He raised the back of her hand to his lips. “Along with some other choice phrases.” “Like ‘please’ and ‘thank you’? Samantha says I could exercise more use with these ‘magic words’.”" This could be actual dialogue from the show.
And I'm always so soft for H$ falling asleep together and waking up in one another's arms. And Hetty feels so safe and held and warm - then they both feel warm in another sense pretty quickly - and that trust only makes their wake-up sex all the more intimate and fulfilling for them both. I am so normal about how in love they are here, I swear.
Sorry it took so long to reply to your amazing comment! School started up again recently, and between getting my classroom ready and first week with the students I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off! I promise I have not stopped writing for this fic and new chapters will be out soon! Thank you again for your wonderful comment <3
