Where her elbows had been supporting her weight a moment before, Jyn lay back flat now, wanting her hands freed. Again, she reached for his hair, fingers idly combing through it, slow and grounding. She had never been someone especially clingy — had never had room in her life for that, given the way she was raised and the lack of anyone's consistent presence in her life. Since Cassian's reappearance in her life, though, it was like she could barely stand to stop touching him in some way. Ridiculous, really, not least with him half draped over her like this. Ridiculous that he could make her heart race the way he did. Touching him wasn't going to keep him here with her. Still, she couldn't curb the impulse.
"Well, this is a first," she said, her breathing beginning to steady. The customary trace of wry amusement was back in her voice, though with a deep undercurrent of affection. As stupid as she thought she was to let herself fall headfirst into this again, even more stupid was to have let herself think for even a second that she could have lessened the extent of or resisted her feelings for him. Some part of her was, always would be, irrevocably his.
