Temptations

Temptation lurks behind every corner secretly waiting for you to fall under its hypnotizing influence. And we run from it, in fear. Temptation attempts to pull us into its deception and as we're about to crumble under its touch we run a littler a harder, we run a little faster, because of fear. The fear of the outcome of allowing temptation to wrap around us and sink into its comfort.

I couldn't run from mine any longer. I tried, but it always seemed that I was never more than one long stride away from it. And when it caught up, my actions were strong, vibrant.

The thing that people don't tell you is that temptation can come in the form of piercing copper eyes with hair as dark as a raven and a chiseled jaw. They say temptation is an ugly thing, but there wasn't anything unpleasant about mine. The thing that they don't tell you is that temptation can come in the most beautiful form that is utterly irresistible.

So when I finally stopped running and stood tall to the shadow staggering behind me, I found myself gazing into temptations astonishing soul. He was persuasive with his lovely voice and despite how reluctant I was, I fell anyways. I fell so hard into the masculine arms of my temptation that I was blindsided of the consequences to come.

I never wanted to pull away and the times I did were nothing short of failed endeavors. He was an enticement within the temptation and easily lured me back with his soft, sweet lips, the warm gentle touch that felt heavenly against my always cold skin. His simple heart beat that resembled an entire symphony was more than enough to give himself life, but me as well.

Temptation is a tricky, clever thing that we run from. If we don't it devours everything you give and then some. Don't ever stop running, because once you look into those coffee stained eyes you wonder why you were ever running from him to begin with.

He was my irresistible temptation.
