"Jax...I can't" Delilah says quietly while releasing a heavy breath.
As a tear rolls down her cheek, I feel the urge to wipe it away.
My eyes remain on her as I slowly step towards her.
"Why?" I ask, needing more, needing an explanation.
She looks to the ground and then back at me. She runs her hands through her long golden brown hair as she struggles to take a step away from me. Her body almost instinctively comes closer.
"Jackson. If I-if I get too close to you...'" She says shaking her head.
"Delil—" I go to reach out to her when she cuts me off and steps towards me.
Only a few feet away now.
I feel my body begin to harden in reaction to how close she is.
"Jackson if I let you kiss me... I'll only end up breaking your heart."
I do what my body asks. What her body is begging mine to do.
I step closer to her and hold her face with my hands gently.
Caressing her rosey flushed cheek with my thumb.
"Then break it, love. Break it."
