He asks how I eat my maltesers like it’s important information. We are building files on all the things we learn about each other - he likes his coffee with sugar and not much milk, the same way I take my tea, he likes it when I dig my nails into his back and I like the way he rests his hand on the back of my neck before he kisses me. He tells me in detail the way he cracks open the malteser and pushes his tongue between the two halves, lets it melt, lets all the flavour sink in before he turns his attention to the chocolate, I am thinking about the way he touches my thighs, the way his lips trace over my skin, tongue pressing and I melt. We are collecting information on all the ways to please each other, all the ways to savour it.
