Ruthless Romance
He pulled me to him, bringing our bodies together.
The world was all heat and electricity, thick with tension that only sparks away from exploding around us. I was balancing on another precipice, which was not easy to do in heels.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, and this time I was the one who drew him closer.
I closed my eyes, and the world around me faded. The noise, the smoke....it was gone.
His lips tasted cool and sharp, peppermint, and his hands, soft on the back of my neck, with a promise of forever.
