You don’t need to deserve me

Elena had always been adorable when flustered, but tonight, she was downright irresistible.

Her cheeks were still flushed, her lips slightly swollen from our kiss, and the way she squirmed just a little as she sat beside me on the couch made me want to tease her even more. She was doing her best to appear nonchalant, but I knew better.

Every time she glanced at me out of the corner of her eye, I caught that tiny hitch in her breath and the way her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her shirt.

"So…" I drawled, stretching my arms behind my head casually and letting the silence linger. I knew it would drive her crazy. "How does it feel to have experienced the legendary vampire kiss?"

She glared at me, though the effect was dampened by the slight pout on her lips. "Legendary, huh? You really think highly of yourself."

"I mean, you seemed to enjoy it," I replied, grinning. "You were practically melting into me."
