" I have moved on in my life..... Why don't you too ?? I moved on the moment I walked out " that seemed to anger him even more. His hold on my wrist tightens almost painfully. And then he pulls me to him so I am standing in front of him with his hands on my waist. I look up to see his furious eyes. He leans in his forehead touching mine and then makes his way to my ear. " I have not moved on and I will not let you move on too. You are mine and I shall get you again." with his every word his lips touch my ear and then he looks into my eyes before crashing his lips into mine. He invades my mouth with his tongue without asking for permission and his hold on my waist pulls me to him so my chest is touching his. It wasn't a gentle kiss but then he never kisses gently. That kiss brought back many memories.
