Illustration for The Table, from the adult visual novel The Summer After

She pulls you between her knees and gets your shirt off and then her own, and it is not a reward and not a distraction.

MioneNot careful. Not tonight. I have been careful for a week and I am done.

You get her back on the table with her heels on the edge and she watches your face the whole way and does not let you look away.

She is loud in an empty house and does not care, and when she comes she digs her nails into your forearm hard enough to leave four white lines.

Afterwards she keeps her forehead against yours and neither of you says anything at all.
