OH, ASTRID-E

`Thank you, for…for…', I leaned my head on his broad chest, circling my hands on his neck. His cologne ( of Creed by Aventus ) hit my nose, smelling all musky and oakmoss. I could not help it but inhale near his neck, causing him to harden all his muscles, so tight I could feel it under my hands. When I exhaled a warm breath at the base of his throat, I saw goosebumps rise on his skin.

As we sat on the passenger side of the car, Damien was careful to place himself far away from me. Was he afraid of me? But I will not do anything to him. I won't hurt him.

I placed my hands on his knees, making him spin his head at me so fast I was afraid he'd whiplashed.

`Cupcake?', he eyes me warily. I closed the gap between us. He raised the divider between us and the driver, sensing my urgency.
