"I missed my baby so much; I just want you back M" Another tantalizing peck now on her cheek just near the brims of her lips while he pulled her in.
Obsession and pure ecstasy were her emotions to the man before her, Drew her brother warned her of the dangers, but she didn't take heed to the older brother instinct. He made it clear there was to be no associating unless he was in the room or someone, he had faith in. To Drew, Malek was not one to be involved with, dangerous and toughened. Known in the streets from state to state, everywhere he went he made a name for himself and the news always surprised Mila. How could she listen to those things, Malek has proven repeatedly to be her hero and not the villain. Granted he does have vicious ways, but he was not this monster they made him out to be. No, not Meekie. Those were her thoughts before today, today he spoke of things that caused her heart to stutter uncontrollably, her palms to sweat and her mind to run away from her in fear. Fear of the things he just spoke over her life, Death. "Mila" The raspy voice said the name with authority and held no trace of joking. "Yes, Malek" She spoke "I'm in too deep M..." a waited sigh came just after the sentence. The heaving of his chest was sign that this was a vulnerable moment for him. Even though she did not see him as he spooned her, the anticipation of what he would say next ate at her insides and made her stomach tie into knots. 
What did he mean he was in too deep? 
"I'm wanting this shit to last so don't ever fuck me over. I love you, M...." Kissing behind her ear knowing it's her weakness. Malek's voice was a soft whisper that held Mila on by a thread, "I would kill for you,"Another kissed trailed to the nape of her neck, and the pride of having this man crazy for her made her feel special, to be here with him alone made her emotions haywire and her mind at ease. She's safe and protected here in these arms. "And I would kill you,"
