Cornering Him

There was a time in their relationship when Desmond and Leonor walked on eggshells around each other because of the uncertainty of their true feelings.

Since his secret was revealed, it was only Desmond walking on eggshells.

The way he left her room that night weighed heavily on his brain. Her efforts to unravel him were not in vain. Each night he went to sleep thinking about how her body felt underneath his hands while she wore only a nightgown and how she advanced towards him with no intention of holding back.

When they were practically children, he had her in the palm of his hand, but as they grew up, things had certainly changed. It was like she had a leash around his neck, and even if he tried to resist, his thoughts always returned to her.
