A Little Too Far

I close my eyes and lose myself in the kiss. His lips were perfect and his smell... something about it was intoxicating. Maybe it was the alcohol on his breath... I quickly break the kiss and lean back with a smirk as I say "You win... I think I drank too much..."

Bai Lei looks at me with dark hungry eyes before pulling me off the table and into his lap! The movement shocks me but before I can say anything else, his lips crash back into mine, instantly taking my breath away.

All I did was press my lips against his... but this was a kiss! His large hands lace their way through my hair as he pulls me closer to him. His intensity causes my mind to completely blank out but when he pushes his tongue in, I try to pull away! 

He tightens his hold and pulls me even closer causing my head to spin in loops! Wasn't he super-pure!? I'm starting to think I got all that completely wrong! I bite him and he finally breaks the kiss with a look of confusion.  

I quickly crawl off his lap and clear my throat awkwardly as I sober up a bit. "You... That... You won." I say grabbing my shorts off the ground. I quickly put them on and walk over to find my shirt. I must have been entirely too intoxicated! Why did I kiss him!? And why did I allow him to kiss me like that!????

I quickly put my shirt on and walk over to turn on the lights. My head continues to spin as I try to fight against the effects of the alcohol. I turn around and nearly jump straight out of my shorts! Bai Lei stands right behind me, scaring the living crap out of me!

I go to step back but there's nowhere to go. "W..what?" I ask with uncertainty. Bai Lei's dark eyes watch my every move as he says "Why don't you come back with me?" I frown at his words and ask "Are you talking about going back to your world?" 

He slightly nods his head and reaches out to touch me but he quickly stops himself and clenches his fists as he says "I'll make sure to keep you safe... you'll never want for anything. This I promise you. If you come back with me, I'll never let you regret it." 

I try to step back again but the wall firmly stays in place, refusing to allow me to run away. "I... I belong here. This is my world... I can't go live in your world." Bai Lei's face crumbles as I see something shift through his eyes. The look causes my heart to hurt but I quickly try to ignore the feeling.

He watches me with a conflicted look as he says "Is there really nothing I can say or do to make you go back with me?" I nervously lick my lips as I try to look at everything but him. "You, you have family waiting for you in your world... I have my friends here and my job... my life. I can't go back to your world... I'm sorry."

Bai Lei quickly looks away before nodding his head and quietly walking away. I lift my hand and begin rubbing my chest as I watch him walk away in silence. What does he want from me? Does he really think I'll leave everything I know just to go back to his world? 

I look over to the mess on the table and sigh. I walk over to the table and look back over to the empty hallway. People always say that women are fickle but men were really the fickle ones... They quickly fall in love but fall out of love just as quickly.

He needs to go back before it's too late... I've spent years building these walls. I'll be damned if I let him break them down with a kiss and a few sweet words. Plus, I saw how men were in that world. They had many wives... I don't share. EVER. 

I quickly shake my head and begin cleaning the table. Don't think about it any more Nova, he'll soon be gone and he'll forget all about you... and you'll forget about him as well! I turn off the music and begin cleaning everything in silence but once I'm done, I lay down on the couch and pull the fluffy throw blanket over me.

There's no way I'm sleeping in the same bed with him after that... 

Bai Lei stands in the shower Nova showed him how to use a few days ago. It was like a miniature waterfall but it came on and off at will. Currently, he stands under the cold water as it flows down over his fevered skin. She was like a poison to him... he wanted more and more of her.  

The alcohol definitely impaired him... he shouldn't have come on so strong. He lightly punches the shower wall as he leans his head against the cold tiles. Was he really gonna have to go back without her? Why was she so afraid of him though? 

Was he too intense with her? He closes his eyes and takes a deep calming breath but he couldn't help but frown. His dark eyes slowly open as the water continues to flow down and drip from his lips and chin. No, there was fear... not so much of him... she had no problem kissing him... it wasn't until emotions were thrown into the mix. 

As soon as I showed her some of my emotions, she began to run. His dark eyes narrow as he suddenly has a thought. Has she been hurt by someone before? His jaw clenches as he stands up straight and looks up to the water.

He closes his eyes and runs his hands through his long hair but when he opens his eyes again, their cold as ice. The thought of her loving someone else and them betraying her has a wave of fury washing over him.
