                 heavy lids fluttered over his blue eyes as he tried to allow himself to feel something other than he anger he usually bathed himself in——   he wanted to allow himself to FEEL everything kate offered to him even if he repeated to himself more times than she’ll ever know that he doesn’t deserve even a fraction of it.  his mental capacity was not broad enough to handle the emotions that radiated from her lips pressed against his palm, coursing through his veins like some addicting drug  &  settling in an organ that had long ago been crumbled like a WEAK piece of paper; unable to straighten out ever again.  he leaned down to press his forehead against hers, the hand dropping to wrap around her neck gently——   so unlike the other times he touched her with an urgency, as if it were more of a convenience.  &  now, he wanted to show her that he WAS capable of being soft, of caressing the curve of her neck with feather like kisses.  he wanted to show her before it was gone  &  he returned back to hiding behind the wall that kept them apart more often than not.   ❛  i have no fucking idea why you still even bother with me, kate————   but i’m.. i’m GLAD that you do. ❜  the tip of his nose traced along the lining of her jaw before their lips were hovering over each other, his flesh connecting with hers gingerly.    between you  &  me——  you’re MUCH better company than seth.  ❜   a genuine smile spread over his lips before pressing them against hers, his hand on her neck pulling her closer, his tongue parting flesh  &  tasting the essence of her that he’d grown so used to.  ——the kiss lasted no longer than ten seconds, unfortunately, before he pulled  &  turned away with his face twisting into one of a MONSTER; yellow eyes  &  deadly sharp teeth.

             each  of  his  touches  were  a  strike  of   LIGHTNING ,   sparking  her  soul.  the  reminder  that  he  could  be  gentle ;   that  he  wasn’t  going  to  break  her  because  she  let  her  guard  down.  there  was  still  a  mile  long  list  of  thing  she  wanted  to  tell  him ,   things  he  needed  to  hear  her  say  ——  but  his  lips  made  it  too  easy  to  get  lost  in  the  moment.  ten  seconds.  ten  blissful  seconds  where  she  could  let  go  of  everything ,   all  the  feeling  she  spent  so  much  time  locking  away  and  keeping  hidden  for  his  benefit  now  poured  into  his  lips.  but  as  fast  as  he  appeared ,   he  was  gone.  the  slap  of  cold  air  left  her  trembling.  it  was  a  feeling  she   SHOULD   have  been  familiar  with ,   but  always  managed  to  catch  her  off  guard.   ❝    richie.   ❞   she  spoke  low  enough  that  only  his  ears  would’ve  been  able  to  catch  it.  a  hand  came  to  rest  on  the  back  of  his  arm ,   fingers  gently  brushing  against  the  fabric  of  his  shirt.  she  wasn’t  an  idiot.  she  knew  exactly  why  he  had  pulled  away   &   why  he  wouldn’t  look  at  her  now.  it  didn’t  matter.  she  wasn’t  afraid  of  him ,   even  if  she  should  have  been.  the  steps  she  took ,   moving  around  him  until  her  gaze  could  lock  on  his  features ,   were  confident.  even  the  fingers  that  follow ,   skimming  across  his  jawline  and  up  to  follow  the  curve  of  his  lips  ——  they  didn’t  shake  or  hesitate.   ❝    d-don’t.   i’m   not…   i’m   not   scared   of   you.   a-and   i   don’t   want   you   to   feel   like   you   have   to   hide   who   you   are.   n-not   from   me.   ❞

 

well that girl


stand      up,     warrior.
you are not yet finished.
b e a t e n you may be, but broken? angels  have  fallen  from greater     heights      and
s  u r v i v  e  d.
so why  shouldn’t  you  ?

is long gone.
