hand up to meet it and she felt his warm breath as he exhaled in pleasure.
    Very wet indeed.
    ‘You’ve always been able to do this to me,’ Juliette replied, and she moaned as he began to massage her, his fingertips circling deliciously. She felt kisses begin to fall on her skin, down her neck, across her collarbone.
    Gently, softly, he kissed his way across from one breast to the other, then touched the tip of his tongue to each nipple in turn, making them harden, standing to attention as Juliette began to shudder underneath him. Finally, he opened his mouth wide to take one nipple between his lips, as his fingers simultaneously plunged inside her.
    ‘Oh, God,’ groaned Juliette, ‘I can feel every movement your fingers are making.’
    Teasingly, he pulled his hand away then, and began to walk his fingers up along her stomach, over the creamy flesh of her breasts, and lifted them to Juliette’s mouth. He ran the tips of his fingers over her bottom lip, and then brought his mouth up to meets hers, and together they licked at his fingers, tasting the depths of Juliette’s longing.
    She could feel her body beginning to shudder and she writhed underneath his touch as she longed for the moment he would finally be inside her. Growing wild with impatience, she lifted her hips up to meet him, pressing herself against his straining length, inviting him to slide himself within. When he finally pushed his way inside, they moaned in unison. As he moved deeper, Danny’s hands cupped her breasts, his fingertips brushingtantalisingly across her nipples, while Juliette rocked back and forth, taking him deeper and deeper.
    When the moment came, Juliette lifted herself up onto her elbows, arched her back and ground her body against Danny’s form, as the wave of tingling pleasure rose up within her and overcame her, exploding from her fingertips and her toes and making her bite down hard on her lower lip to stop herself from screaming out in ecstasy.
    ‘Are you able to … can you … come?’ she asked then, through gasping breaths.
    Hell yes.
    She felt his hands tighten their hold on her breasts, squeezing – and then just as suddenly, his grip weakened and his hands were slowly trailing down her body as she felt him shudder and convulse above her. Keeping him buried inside, Juliette collapsed backwards onto the pillows and she lay together with Danny’s form close by, breathing deeply, regaining her composure.
    When it was all over, Juliette opened her eyes, expecting to see Danny there beside her, expecting to be able to reach out and hug him to her, and instead, what she saw was nothing, just empty space. She was plunged into a moment of despair, because no matter how hard she wished for it, he was never going to be truly brought back to life. Once again, she wondered if she would ever run out of tears.

Chapter Ten

    It was the following day and Juliette was standing out on the balcony, enjoying the feel of the fresh air on her skin, of the warm sun beating down on her shoulders. She gazed out towards the ocean, thinking of how nice it would feel to dive under those waves, to refresh herself, clear her thoughts.
    She sensed Danny by her side and smiled.
    ‘Hi there,’ she whispered.
    Hello yourself.
    She felt hands on her waist, lips on her neck and she tilted her head, sighing blissfully at the familiarity of his touch.
    ‘Tell me something,’ she said, ‘Why is it that we’re able to make love, that I can physically feel your touch, your kisses, that you can be inside me – but I can’t turn around right now and grab hold of you. It just doesn’t make any damn sense.’
    None of this does. It’s crazy I know – it’s like the normal rules of physics don’t apply … but look, at least we got to have fun last night.
    ‘A lot of fun.’ She paused and then added, ‘the sunshine is gorgeous this afternoon. Can you feel it at all?’
    No. Your body is the only thing that I can feel. When I touch you, it’s like
