"And just how far," His voice deepened and his face lowered to mine, "are you willing to go to save him?"
My eyes widened as I saw his eyes centre on my lips.
No!
Mortified, my head snapped away from him.
"Not very far then," He growled and with strength I knew he was capable of, he grabbed my arm pulled me out of his way almost throwing me to the floor.
"Wait!" desperate once again my body moved before my mind could think, grabbing his arm and pulling him as hard as I could towards me - but with his power, he probably let me.
I couldn't let him go. No matter my feelings, my pride or my promises. I just couldn't.
So before, I let him turn an inch away, my hand reached behind his neck and throwing myself forward-
I pressed my lips to his.
