Within an second, he was in front of me. One of his arms pinning both of mine above my head while he raised an eyebrow as if waiting for me to spit fire.
"What do you want from me?" I said, bravery in my tone.
Instead of replying, all I got was my body being pushed closer to his. And in a single moment, I couldn't think straight. Not with his minty breath fanning my face as he leaned forward. Feel. That was all I could do. Feel his lips running up my neck, skimming my collarbone, and teasing my own as they brushed ever so lightly against mine. My legs felt like jelly and all I could do was hold onto him for dear life.
"I want you, just you." he managed to choke out. His mood had shifted in an instant and truth be told, I had never heard him this way. So caught up, so honest, so vulnerable.
"I-I can't do that." I stuttered, still clutching his chest.
"I know" he replied, eyes hard. "but I'm not willing to let you go that easily."
It was then that I looked up, and knew. I knew that right then, I had to let go.
"What will it take?" I said, regaining my voice. "What will it take for you to leave me and never look back?"
"Kiss me" He demanded
And so I did.
"I'm not afraid of you," I tried to say confidently.
He smirked while placing his hands on my hips.
My breathing stopped for a few seconds but then continued when I remembered my goal was to be courageous. He licked a spot on my neck, and I narrowed my eyebrows in confusion. He gently wrapped a hand around my neck.
"You might sound confident, but I can taste the fear," he whispered into my ear.
His voice was very intimidating and almost sent tingles down my spine. ALMOST. But I was done being afraid of this monster. I was done feeling inferior to him.
"There's no doubt that you taste fear. Here's the real question: is it my fear that you taste, or is it yours?" I asked bravely.
I gasped when he tightened his hold a little and pinned me to the wall. I stared into his cold eyes as he stared into mine. He smirked when our breathing came to a match. Then he did the last thing I would expect: he kissed me.
