Aurelia
don't worry about the
darkness in my soul
darkness in my soul
The taste of him is strong and smoky, not unlike how she'd thought it would be. (Had she thought about it before? We'll leave that part to the imagination) But the moment her lips sink in against his, the moment he kisses her back, it brings her back down to earth. Suddenly she knows she's made a mistake, but at the same time.. it doesn't feel like a mistake. It's a contrast she struggles with as he pushes her over onto her back and he pulls away.
A breath of air sucks in through her nostrils as she lifts up, first on her elbows, gazing across at him. Her gaze flickers as he speaks, but she doesn't move further away. She's not sure if she's frozen to the spot by fear or by something else. Something harder to describe, that feels like fear but isn't - not really.
"I... I'm sorry, I thought.." her brows twitch closer together, "I thought you felt it too." That feeling she keeps having, whenever she's around him, like a force of nature or a guiding light. It's stubborn, it's addicting, it's... confusing. "I-" she shakes her head and pulls away, tucking her legs back in toward her chest, "If you didn't feel it just now then maybe I'm the one that's confused." She bites back anything else and moves to stand, to step away, feeling as though a wall were building its way back up around her heart, feeling as though she'd fucked up in a.. fundamental way.

it ignites me
like an embered coal
