"Hello mia bella." Evan whispers in my ear, bushing his lips as he is doing so.
"Hmm?" I hum, and he takes me in his arms. Making me feel loved and protected. Honestly, I didn't know how we got this close to each other, it just happens.
"I came to check up on you." He says softly, moving his lips to my shoulder.
I turn around in his arms, so now I am facing him. His eyes are immediately on mine, brown meeting green. I smile slightly at his care. "Well, as you can see, I am perfectly fine."
His eyes darken, in what I believe is lust, and a smirk plays on lips, "Well I can definitely see that you are, in fact, fine. Fine and," he pauses, "all mine." His lips come down on mine and it is pure bliss.
