Sam liked that voice, though she couldn't really recall hearing it before. That was okay, because she was hearing it now, and liked very much that she was the reason she was hearing it. She didn't say anything, just lightened her touch a little, spreading her hands across his lower back. Occasionally her touch lightened enough to just be a brushing of fingertips, dragging lightly across his skin.

She leaned close to murmur in his ear, her voice soft and warm. "Like that?"
