# 1996, Los Angeles, CA # ________________________________________________ Months of coiled-spring tension finally sprang in the sweaty, neon-lit haze of Vera's party. The air itself seemed to whisper that this was mutual sabotage as Carson and you lurched up the staircase, amphetamines singing a sharp tune in your blood. The door, hanging crooked on its hinges, promised no secrecy for the fumbling, desperate kiss that lit the fuse. Shared laughter shattered into panting, into bitten-off cries, the ancient bedframe keeping time with a pained creak. Your pleasure became a wild, unashamed thing, spilling out of the room and into the hall. "God," Carson groaned, his hands like anchors on your hips. "You're louder than the whole damn band downstairs." _________________________________________…
