ACCIDENTALLY MARKED

“So, what did you mean, Ma’Heron? The things you said a while ago…”

“More like what I wanted to say but didn’t manage to say them properly… Which has never happened to me before. And I can’t blame you for getting upset with me. After all, I truly deserved your hate. That’s what I thought you already felt for me then, so I didn’t want you to know what I was already feeling for you. When I tried to reject you, that’s when I realized that I couldn’t… I can’t…”

Alexia moved her naked body against Ma’Heron’s, cuddling into his nude muscular torso, so naturally, as if she was made to be there. She felt his muscled arm instinctively caress her and bring her even closer to his chest. He looked down at her as she nuzzled his smooth, sinewy chest.

“That’s when you knew…”

“Yes, my love. I felt pain even while I tried to say your name… It was intense, becoming more and more torturous as I kept trying… And that was when I realized I was already, undeniably, and utterly in love with you.”
