edward.

HE COULDN’T BE any less prepared for such a DECLARATION. does his heart STOP? he feels it SPUTTER back to life, without a doubt, a GASPING flutter alow the cage of his ribs, an insistent reminder of his INADEQUACY where she holds such elegance and immunity. “ YOU – ” his words JOLT, halt entirely, the synapses of his brain FRYING with his shock. but his feet carry him closer, DRAWN as he is to her, and was this not inevitable? she, the PREDATOR, and he, her PREY. he would give himself to her, of that he is CERTAIN. rapacious hands reach, nearly TOUCH, but he ceases this movement, too, if only because he still remains HESITANT to infringe on some unspoken BARRIER between them. she is just out of RANGE, no matter her proximity, and he feels less than UNWORTHY to be given the privilege of taking her in his arms. “ i KNOW that i love YOU. ”

it’s as if the world shifts —- a new light shining upon new opportunities and feelings and capabilities; it shows in her eyes, a glint in her golden hues – a hopeful, inspired luminescence. ah, LOVE – what did she really know about it, besides the tales of consistent tragedy in the shelves upon shelves of literature she’s read repeatedly? she fantasizes about it, though her love for edward had emerged out of those bounds; it had become real before she had acknowledged it. she had fallen, more HOPELESSLY than she cares to admit. a part of her now realizing, wondering, if love would always end in tragedy.
she closes the rest of the space between them, moving close to his body as a hand trails up the warmth of his neck, before it cups the side of his face. a gentle smile forms on her lips before her eyes close, and she moves in closer —— lips so close to his skin, along his jawline, yet they don’t touch him yet. she simply inhales; a considerable attempt at self control. a small step, a TEST. she hums quietly, pleased with herself, before cool lips press gently on his cheek. ❛ there are so many reasons why you shouldn’t… ❜ she begins, resting her face close to his – inhale, exhale his scent, even as her mouth waters. ❛ but i want to be selfish. i want you to love me. i want.. you. ❜
