"There's no such thing as love. You're mistaking physical attraction for it—" I returned indifferently, still not daring to meet his eyes. Not even, when I felt him inch closer to the exposed side of my nape. His warm breath tickled my bare skin while his hands found mine and intertwined his fingers through mine.

"If that's what I desired, then I would have already devoured every inch of you by now—and there was nothing you could have done to stop me—" He whispered against my neck and before I could protest any further, a sharp pain piercing through the skin of my neck made me gasp.

The Wrong Wedding

I woke up in the middle of the night and almost got a heart attack to find him sleeping beside me. For a few moments, I didn't dare blink. The lamp was left on, so I could see him very well. He looked so innocent and beautiful, if you could use that word to describe a guy. With one hand sprawled between us and other placed on the pillow in front of his face. He looked like a sleeping beauty. 


I knew that I shouldn't move, in case he wakes up. Yet, that stupid hand of mine had suddenly got a mind of it's own, that went ahead and almost caressed his hair. But maybe it was his lucky day and mine unlucky that saved him from getting defiled by me in sleep. The stupid alarm went off and almost gave me a heart attack. Quickly, I returned my hand to their original position and pretended to sleep. Thankfully, he didn't wake up until a few seconds later. 


A few minutes later, I felt him standing over me and I thought I was done for.
