fifty four

The first few days went by in a blur. She felt awkward as she tried her best to live in the same house as Blade. She tried not to get in his way but also wondered why they were keeping their distance from each other. Well, more like Blade was staying away from her. Their rooms were on opposite ends of the house, she could never exactly pinpoint when he actually eats, so she ends up eating alone, and not once has he asked her to sing for him.

And then there was the relationship between them.

She ever so boldly declared that she understood him. He even kissed her again. And… there was the incident yesterday morning when she got him with only a towel on when he was walking out of the bathroom. She could still remember how flustered she had gotten and how hot her face was. But he didn’t even bat an eye as he gave her a nod and went to his room.

“Should I confront him,” she said aloud.

“Confront who?”

She just about jumped out of her skin when she looked to her bedroom door. She had purposefully left it open in hopes of seeing Blade walk past her room, but of course he catches her when she was talking to herself. How embarrassing! Shaking her head and getting herself together, she saw this as her chance.

“I- I was thinking of confronting you!”

He turned fully to her, his frame blocking the door, “because I’ve been avoiding you?”

“So you know what you’ve been doing?!”

“I thought you needed some space.”

“I don’t need space, I need you.”

She didn’t realize what she had said until the words had left her mouth. But she didn’t plan on taking them back either. And she watched him carefully as he seemed to sigh to himself, and it wasn’t until a moment later that she noticed that he was walking towards her, “foolish girl.”

He muttered those two words as he had come to a stop in front of her, his right hand reaching out to her as he grasped her chin and tilted her head up, “I didn’t realize how needy you are,” he finished before leaning down and capturing her lips. She was quick to stand on her tippy toes as she reached to grab at the front of his shirt. Her eyes slipped closed as she basked in the attention, he was finally giving her. Though, the feeling was short lived when she felt him nip at her bottom lip. A little confused on what she was supposed to do, she went to open her mouth to bite at his lips too, but before she got the chance, his tongue invaded her mouth.

She whimpered at the feeling as her fingers dug into the fabric of his shirt. She felt how his tongue caressed her own and how he mapped out her mouth easily. And even when she went to push back with her own tongue, he quickly proved how strong he was. Opening her eyes just a tad, she gave him a half-lidded stare before her lips gently closed around his tongue and she sucked lightly. She could see the way his eyes glinted, and his posture stiffened. His free hand came up to wrap around her throat as he held her in place.

Finally, breaking the kiss, Blade watched as she stayed in place, head still tilted up as if waiting for him to kiss her again. She tried to catch her breath in the meantime, her mind feeling all fuzzy for some reason while her body felt all hot.

“What are we, Blade,” she managed to ask.

She could feel a rumble in his chest as he advanced forward, pushing her back. She felt how the back of her knees hit the bed causing her to fall back with Blade landing on top of her.

“I am yours just as you are mine.”

Before she could say anything else, he quieted her down by kissing her again. His body caging her against the bed as he slotted his lips against her own.

Was this another type of control? He wasn’t sure, he just knew that he didn’t want this feeling to go away.
