Adrianna didn't know what was coming her way, till she looked at the photo with the deep blue eyes looking back at her. After that it was never the same. ________________________________________________ Taking a step forward I went closer and smelt her minty breath. I could smell her bubblegum scent. I could finally touch her, reaching out I twirled a strand of her golden brown hair while she just looked into my eyes, lips parted and her breath laboured. With my other hand I touched her lips with my thumb, cherry lip balm. Putting my hands on her waist I could see she was holding on to her gun ready to fire. I smirked at this, my feisty girl. "You are mine kitten, I'm not letting you go ever." _________________________________________________ (mature read if you comfortable-violence/sexual content)
