An opportunity so rare

His skin was like heaven to your touch .You took a long deep breath in through your nose and drank in all his glorious scents of blackcurrant, lavender and evil. His grip on you became firmer and he hugged you in closer...this was nearly as close as you could get to him without you melting into him. Your lips met in a daze and he tasted bitter on the outside but when you let him in he was sweet. Still the lingering evil had your brain ticking like clockwork momentarily until his hands bunched up in your hair and you played a lullaby with your fingers across his muscular back and broad shoulders. You would not let any of this end. He could not let this end. This was your last change any moment it could all fall apart.

Still wrapped up in the kiss you opened you eyes, his eyes were closed tightly and you prayed he left them like that just a minute longer. You looked slightly right to the grandfather clock near the door. It was a minute to midnight. You screamed angrily on the inside. You gave yourself time to think, ok 45 more seconds then we have to stop or...the worst could happen. You close your eyes and just at that moment he pulled back to breath, you sucked in a quick breathe and attacked him fiercely with your lips. You hoped he had gotten enough air. He didn’t pull back again so you assumed as such.

 Please, please! Just a minute longer you wished. Your body ached with a pain so new yet so distinguished, knowing you had about 10 seconds more brought all your joy and high spirits down. 15,14,13,12... you pulled back, ”we have to stop” Your voice was barely audible... 10, 9 “No!” He retorted and his lips crashed down on you again...7,6,5,4

“PLEASE!” you whispered through your kiss. He moved his head still kissing you, you took that as a no. The chime rang through the room; it felt like it was ringing through your entire being. You slightly faltered in your thinking when he wouldn’t stop. You tried moving but he was so caught up and frantic that you were pinned to him. You couldn’t move any of your limbs or even your face. Your eyes opened quickly and you were shocked. It was now a second past midnight. You tried thrusting your head back, but his hands rushed up your body like lightening and held you in place. 

 A simmering sound shuddered around the room and you looked around to see what it was. It was him, well his lips and his bare hands on you. Touching you, caressing you as if there would be no other day. And there wouldn’t but if he didn’t stop there would be an infinite amount of no other days because he would be gone! Forever and it would be your fault. He was, how do you put this “allergic to humans” like way deathly allergic and you thanked the gods that they’d let you have one night. To be together. But they didn’t exactly tell you their plan and you’d only been with each other for the last few minutes of the night. This sucked majorly, and you wanted to burst out into tears. What cruel magic this was? If only you could extend it but you weren’t strong enough, not even for him. Not even to stop him.

 12.01. The searing sound was getting louder you could feel his body shudder against yours, but he was still not letting up. You felt there was only one more option. This would stick with you forever, you were too frightened to even think or the consequences. You brought your hands from around his shoulders and touched his face, ever so gently. He screamed in agony and flung himself onto the floor. You wanted to touch him to see if he was ok, but his gloves were nowhere in sight. You were helpless, defeated.  The mix of agony, pain, despair and love filled both of your eyes as you let a tear slip down your face and onto the floor. You had to get help, you ran out of the room screaming down the hall for help. You prayed he’d be ok. For him, for you, And for the hope that one day you’d be able to have an opportunity so rare.
