Back 3

I had nothing else to say to him, but I was ashamed to have my heart race for a man like him. To feel a certain longing towards him.

He didn't take his gaze off me as he lifted his hand and pressed his fingers to my cheek caressing it with his thumb gently.

"I will never let them take you away from me again." I shook my head as I stared at him because I will never allow myself to believe his words. I couldn't stand at the thought of him being killed, he didn't stand a chance against Asmodeus.

I shouldn't be here with him but here I was trembling in his arms.

He leaned forward and closed the space between us, and I didn't stop him. I simply let my eyes fall closed as he pressed his mouth to mine and kissed me with desperation that was far too familiar to my own.

His kiss felt like a brand. It was demanding and I kissed back just as hard as his. Matching his energy.
