LUCIAN

As soon as her lips touched mine, it felt like life was breathed in me yet again for the first time.

Her soft hands reached for my my t-shirt for support and I immediately cupped her face. Bringing her even closer to me.

The sweet scent of her perfume clouded my head. Every time she wore it, I wanted to close my eyes and bury my face in her neck.

Her lips slowly moved against mine, very hesitantly, like she has never done it before. I didn't want to scare her off with my eagerness, so I did the same.

Moved my lips against her gently and softly.

The way her hands clung against me, made me want to smile in happiness. I finally had her in my hands.

I have been only able to watch her from afar. She made me obsessed with her so I had to keep my distance. With every move and with every look, I was getting more and more consumed by her.

The way she touched her hair whenever she was nervous, the way the front of her eyebrows furrowed upwards whenever she was confused and her nose scrunched whenever she didn't like something.

She was so close yet so far away from me.

I had to watch her hold Sebastian hand while I knew very well how little he appreciated her.

There was nothing I was able to do, only protect her as a family member.

As soon as my dad said that her family didn't want to take her back, I felt my blood boil. I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't just leave her.

Even though there were chances of her never loving me, I wanted her safe by my side. Where I was able to keep my eye on her.

I took a step forward and another one until she was backed up against the wall. I place my hand on the back of her head, trying to keep her from hurting herself in the wall.

This time she let go of my t-shirt and sneaked her soft fingers up my neck and then in my hair.

I was able to fell her struggle to stand on her tip toes. I hooked and hand over her waist and held her firmly against me. Steadying her.

She felt heavenly in my arms.

Her fingers tangled in my hair and I bit her bottom lip, then proceeded to conceal the slight pain with my tongue.

That made her gasp which gave me a chance to deepen our kiss.

Her breaths came out quickly and her heart beat picked up its speed. It rammed against her rib cage and I was able to feel it on my chest.

Mine wasn't any better though.

After couple of seconds she started to pull away. I pulled away as well and placed my lips on the side of her face and then kissed her scars. A sob left her lips and I crushed her body to mine.

She nuzzled her head into my chest and wrapped her delicate arms around me. I circled mine around her and tightened them, feeling every little curve of her body against mine.

I knew how insecure she was about her scars but I never tired to say anything about it. I didn't want her to feel even more insecure.

I knew she would have probably thought something else. She didn't trust my words. She didn't have any other reason to think otherwise.

The paintings she saw, I have kept here in my home despite wanting to move them away somewhere where I couldn't see them.

At that time she was becoming Sebastian's wife and I like a fool, I was spending my time painting her beautiful face. Painting her breathtaking smile and her soft hair.
