There's nothing quite like waking up in the embrace of a man, with the scent of incense permeating my nose, and an awful lot of unwelcome questions barging into my mind.
Everything was still foggy when I woke up around an hour ago, so I snuggled myself closer against my supernatural companion in hopes of getting more winks of sleep. Suddenly, something hit me, like my skin was electrified and my mind was forced into a clearer clarity of what was happening.
Of what I have just done.
God what have I done?
"Salie."
Is he awake? Wait, did he even sleep? He doesn't need to, does he?
"Be quiet."
I gulp and try not to move. Am I breathing too heavily, too lightly, or too fast? Maybe he'll think I'm still asleep if I focus on my breathing.
"Your anxiety is barging into my senses." His fingers brush my hair, nails lightly scratching at my scalp. "Hush down."

My shaky hands freeze as he squeezes them with one hand. After another series of gasps, I blink, letting hot, sinful tears blur his perfect image.
"And yet..." I mumble and bite my lower lip, as if saying it out loud will make it more real than it already is. As if my beating heart would stop the moment I come to terms with the truth.
I committed a sin against God. I pledged never to sleep with another before marriage anymore. I pledged never to engage in such a relationship with the same sex anymore. I pledged never to let the devil tempt me away from God. I pledged never to disobey God anymore.
I pledged to be a better person. To be a devoted follower of God. But I still couldn't do it after all this time. I failed. I sinned. I strayed. And yet...
