Lowell crossed the room slowly and silently to where I was standing. He stopped only inches from me. His face, his smell, and his presence made me drunk. The way he drank me in with his ruby red eyes was intoxicating. He tentatively bent his head down to the nape of my jaw.
"Don't move." He commanded as I felt his lips softly kiss then passionately bite my neck. I stood still and did as I was told."
Emily is tormented by the demons her childhood love, Lowell has instilled within her. She and Lowell's young, innocent childhood romance blossomed within Fairview Orphanage, where they both reside.
