He has beautiful blond hair that caught the light like spun gold, doe-brown eyes framed by lashes too long for a mortal, soft, pink lips that looked like they could taste sweet even without sugar...
And those freckles-God, those freckles. They were my favorite thing about him. They were scattered across his cheeks like someone had spilled a handful of stars and forgot to pick them up. If you stared long enough, you could trace constellations in them.
I did..
I still do...
Exquisite...
That's the only word for him...
Exquisite in a way that makes your throat go dry and your hands ache to reach out. Ethereal, untouchable-like he's been carved out of something purer than the rest of us.
And yet, the longer I watched, the more I felt something ugly bloom beneath the awe. A panic, a possessiveness, the kind of fear that creeps in when you realize a treasure isn't yours-and that someone else might see what you see.
Some fool could walk through that door tomorrow, smile at him, and take him away...
I can't let that happen.
He's MINE...
He doesn't know it yet, but he is. And I won't stop until he understands...until he's standing where he belongs-right next to me.
