Ruthless love

The Instinct

I could not recall ever having been in such a state of pure ecstasy.

It was as though a part of me had been hibernating and was awoken during the consummation.

For a long time, I had felt my body grow weaker by the day, but at that very moment, it all disappeared.

At that moment it was only the two of us, as time seemed to come to a halt and the world around us ceased to exist.

I felt safe and complete in his arms and part of me wished that he would never let go.

The tingling sensation had subsided and turned into something more electric.

I could feel whatever was drawing us to one another, throughout my entire body at this point and I loved every second of it.

It felt so right.

Driven by insatiable lust, we had spent the dark hours of the night consumed by one another.

Despite being spent and exhausted, we spent a long time whispering sweet nothings to one another and he would trail small gentle kisses down my entire body.

He worshipped me in ways no words could describe.

His lips and hands skillfully explored every inch and crook of my body.

The way his hands caressed my skin showed me so much love and so much care.

He was gentle and slow as if he was afraid that I would break or vanish at any moment and as he carefully made his way back up, his eyes locked with mine.

The look in his eyes and the way that his feelings shone through them, overwhelmed me.

I understood him just as clearly as I would have if he had spoken to me.

Despite being fully aware that we had not known each other for very long, there was no doubt in my mind.

This man loved me with every part of his being and I loved him more than I could begin to express.

The realization caused tears to well up in my eyes.

I pulled him close and began to scatter soft kisses on his face, in between whispers.

"Whatever you do and wherever you go, know that I am yours and forever will remain so... You have every part of me, heart mind, and soul..."

He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against mine in response, clearly relieved at my words as a quiet sigh escaped him before he spoke.

"You had me from the moment I first laid my eyes on you. I am completely at your mercy and surely if you were ever to refuse me, it would be the death of me..."

He paused for a moment and the weight of his words slowly settled in us both as he carefully considered his next words.

"I know this was never the plan or intention, but..." he paused for another moment as if suddenly regretting what he was going to say next.

"Stella... I want you to stay here, with me..."

My heart skipped a beat at his words and it was as though the words got stuck in my throat in rebellion as my heart and mind collided.

I had been there for a while and I had grown to like it, possibly more than I ever dared to admit, but I had never planned on staying.

In a heartbeat, we were both pulled back into reality.

While I was at a loss for words, the realization of what he had just asked of me seemed to dawn on him.

He had been well aware of my original plans and intentions, but none of that seemed to matter anymore.
