His eyes finally found mine. Instead of the harsh black, I
saw something softer, almost human. He leaned closer. “Is that what you think,
Alex, that I want to hurt you?”
“Well, no, I mean…" I let out a deep sigh as I looked down
to the ground. “I don’t know. I’m just really confused.”
He took another step closer, sliding his body against mine,
as the coldness of his skin gave me goose bumps. His fingers tiptoed around my
waist. I held back a soft gasp as the warmth of his fingers pushed into the
small of my back. He pressed his forehead to mine.
“I killed Magpie because I wasn’t going to let her hurt you.
I would never try to harm you and I wouldn’t let anyone else harm you either.” His
icy breath was like a cool breeze on my lips as he continued, "It took a
lot of convincing for the board to let me stay here after that, but they knew
it was the only way that she could be stopped. And you've got to admit—" He
paused, brushing his lips against mine as he smiled. "—I do have some redeeming
qualities that would convince them to let me stay."
I gulped, trying to catch my breath as my body trembled
against his. “You don’t think I can take care of myself?”
His smile widened with every bit of his white teeth gleaming.
“I’m pretty sure any girl that would walk into a Caltian’s room in the middle
of the night, unarmed, can handle herself." He wrapped the blanket around
both of us, pressing his body to mine. I felt an icy hot sensation race through
me. “But it doesn’t mean that I can’t try and help her out.”
“So, what’s your real interest in me, then?" My lips
almost vibrated right onto his as I spoke. I couldn’t help but wonder how they
would feel against mine.
“The most dangerous thing of all."
“And what is that?" I questioned, hoping my knees
wouldn't give out as I pressed my body tighter against his.
“I'm falling in love with you." As the words left his
mouth, his lips pressed to mine, giving me the most intense and explosive kiss
I had ever had. With the coldness of his lips and the warmth of his tongue
beneath mine I saw fireworks and felt them through every part of my body.

You should leave me a comment. It would probably make me smile and then I will probably comment back. Unless you are a spambot. Then I will probably just ignore you.
