Summary
There are rules to their flirtation: what kind of contact is safe, what is too much. Never be too sentimental, but always let him know; couch it in insults and admonitions, soften it with a touch. It’s not that she likes the rules, or sticks to them out of some moral fortitude—it’s that she already has too many voices knocking round her head, too much guilt, and she’s sure as pig shit not going to add to it. Especially not him. She’s had that nightmare before. Being too close. She won’t—
The point is, there are rules. Good rules. Solid, keep everyone safe rules.She can't touch him. Not the way they both want. And oh does she want. Doesn't mean there isn't a bit of ill-advised wiggle room.
Alternatively: Five times they most definitely don't have sex and one time they do (but it's actually six times they have sex)
