Fallen Soul Series: The Evanescence Part 19

Unable to help myself, I run my hands up his lean arms and then tangle my fingers through his hair. "So do you."

He lets out this low growl and then his lips crash against mine. My mouth opens willingly and I suck on his tongue as my arms loop around his neck. His hands glide up my back, pus.h.i.+ng me closer, our bodies melting together as my heart hammers inside my chest. Way sooner than I want, he pulls away, panting, his lips swollen.

He takes a deep breath and then starts rocking us to the low beat of the base. "Are you okay?"

I nod, my eyebrows furrowed as I line my body with his. "Yeah... well, I'm a little tired."

Smiling, he shakes his head. "No, I mean are you okay, okay?"

I start to blush, biting on my lip. "Yeah... I'm great." I don't mean to sound so breathless, but I can't help it. I have such a hard time keeping my emotions under control when I'm around him.

He smiles, tracing a finger down my cheek. "I love it when you blush." He leans in, pulling me closer as he whispers in my ear, "Last night was amazing."

I blush again, glad he can't see it. "Yeah, it was." I shut my eyes, breathing him in.

He gives a soft suck on my neck, and then moves back to look me in the eyes. "So, no regrets?"

I shake my head. "I never regret anything with you."

He smiles and raises his arm, showing me the outline of a black star on his wrist. "Even when we decided to get these?"

I glance down at the matching tattoo on my wrist, and then smile when I look back up at him. "I think you'd be more likely to regret it. It's kind of a girly tattoo."

He lowers his arm and starts dancing with me, spinning me until I laugh. When the song starts to slow, he pulls me into him, so my back is pressed up against his rock hard chest. "I'll never ever regret anything I do with you," he breathes into my ear. "Besides, I like that you're branded to me."

My shoulder moves upwards as I shudder from the feel of his breath. "Me, too."

He twirls me around and pulls me in for a kiss. "I love you," he whispers against my lips, and then slips his tongue deep inside my mouth.

"I love you, too," I whisper back and I mean it more than anything in the world because I can feel it, through every single bone in my body, through the way my heart beats when he's near me, through the way I long to always be with him. The realness, the rawness, the undying connection that comes from loving him so completely.

He traces his finger along my wrist again, touching the star. "You're mine forever," he says softly and then presses his lips to mine.

I kiss him back, smiling, because I know he's right. And I know we'll be together.

Forever.
