"It's wilder with her in the wilderness, but it's superior to leave her untouched." 

Aiden was a walking temptation under his jacket. An irresistable mix of pure fire and dire ice when I met him- rivetting and impenetrable. And now soon after, I was caught up in him without any warnings. I was flawed, unworldly yet innocently happy with how my life transpired to be, looking forward to new beginnings away from my rough past when he slipped right through the cracks of my heart effortlessly, quaking my well-established dynamics. 

While my journey began with an explosive cross of ferocity, I was drawn to him helplessly regardless of the haunting demons of my past, involuntarily constraining him to look past his wounds and see who he has been all along, but his demons had the power to tear me apart, transform my life in a way I wasn't prepared for. We could never work, except what we shared ran deeper under the surface, devastating me with a sweet slow burn.
