"Why are you looking at me like that?" His stare was so intense I was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable, but in a good way.
"Like what?" He asked.
"Like you want to eat me?" Taking a sip of his drink, he broke eye contact for a split second before resuming. I could feel myself getting slightly turned on, so I shifted a little in my seat to adjust myself, hoping to make it go away. He smirked, and his eyes now reaped of lust. He knew.
"Because I do."
"B-but, you just did," I stuttered.
"I want more."
Shit.

"That doesn't matter Belle! Do you not realize you completely disregarded your safety!" His veins popped out at he reloaded and ducked low. We were down to two cars.
I licked my lips in worry as I tried to shake them.
"Mother fuckers," he curses as our back window was blown out.
"I can't loose you!" He suddenly screamed as he shot the second to last driver.
I avoided going home because I didn't want them getting any leads.
"You're not loosing me, Cello."
"It felt like I was," his voice cracked as he chucked a grenade towards the car.
I lurched at the explosion and silence followed after our pursuers were eliminated.
"Marry me."
