Title: Exactly Not Sorry Rating: PG-13 Length: about 200 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: None of them are sorry it happened.
Note: This is the final installment, at least for this round.
“How'd I do?” I asked, flopping onto my back, when Buri was perfectly still and breathing hard, but otherwise quiet.
“Do you hear how she's not complaining?” Raoul asked, just loud enough for us both to hear. “It means she's happy.”
I looked at Buri, expecting a tart response. She just waved one hand, smiling, as she closed her eyes.
“You see?” His mouth was right beside my ear again, whispers making me feel special even though we weren't alone. “It was her idea,” he continued. “Did she tell you that? I'd do anything for her.”
“Oh.” I looked at Buri, not at Raoul.
“Kel, I don't mean that the way it sounded. She would have skinned me if I suggested it.”
I looked back at him, smiling in spite of myself, because I could see that he was right. “But you're not sorry?” I had to ask. “You're not doing this just for her?”
“Are you kidding?” Raoul wrapped his arms around me, drawing me close. “I'm the luckiest man alive.”
“You old flatterer,” Buri drawled, rousing herself enough to snuggle into my other side. And somehow, we all drifted off to sleep.

Thank you for reading, and for all the lovely comments! I'm glad you're liking this series. You had me at the brilliant little title switch alone. Heh, thanks! This fills me with amazement, actually, because I'm suffering serious title & summary fatigue. At this point I'm just pulling out random words from each story...

Oh, Buri's exhausted and happy wave of the hand, Raoul's delicate wording, Kel feeling special to have his attention and whispers in her ear... it's gorgeous. ♥
