"Say it. Tell me you love me." She said, kissing my neck softly.
I don't...
My heart hammered in my chest as she pressed herself against me, and the words escaped my lips before I knew what I was saying.
"I-I love you..."
She pulled back then and looked deeply into my eyes, as if the hollow words of my cold heart melted her soul.
"I always knew... Or hoped you did. I love you too. I always have and I always will."
Her words stabbed me, but in the same moment, her touch numbed the pain.
This is wrong...
Who am I?
I was not Reed Wolfe.
I was not Wesley Blackthorne either.
I was nobody. Truly a ghost. So full of hate and regret.
But in her arms, I could no longer feel the pain.
A quiet moan escaped my lips as I gave in to her, clasping my hand tightly around her throat.
"No more talking." I growled, then drew her close and kissed her feverishly.
She sighed and wrapped her arms around my neck, as if she had been waiting for this moment her whole life.
A pang of guilt stabbed at me, but I pushed it away.
It could wait until morning.
I was too desperate to care.
I needed something, anything to fill the void.
She will never forgive me for this...
