The moment she saw him in the distance, she gasped in wonderment and awe. His skin pale and delicate as porcelain. His slender features hiding strength within. His silky hair of ebony with a touch of dark raven blue in the light of the sun. A sudden longing to know him overcame her and her legs began to move forward as if of their own freewill.
The moment she heard him speak in the distance, a chill went down her spine. His voice was full of elegance out of time. Her soul still eager to move on, she shortened the distance between them. He turned his head in her direction, having sensed her presence. He smiled and introduced himself. Taking her hand, he lifted it up and gently pressed his lips upon her skin, sending an electrifying chill throughout her body.
When he asked for her name she could not speak. Her response stuck in her throat, but he waited patiently for an answer with that same captivating smile upon his face. The moment his eyes met hers, her heart skipped a beat. Eyes the color of a lustrous ocean of grass. In his eyes, she witnessed a depth she had never experienced before. A warmth portrayed in his look as if piercing into her very soul.
Her mind and heart wrestled within. Should she be on guard or trust this man standing before her? As soon as she spoke her name, his smile widened and in his eyes, she saw an affection she long had been denied. Her heart longed to be noticed and loved. Only time will tell what more will be expressed by the look in his eyes.
