Tatom had always resembled this pure, delicate white rose. From her very first baptism, Kennedy was the golden child of God. In that moment, kissing Lucifer, her mother would’ve told her that she was unpure. Yet, unpure had never felt so right to her. When the kiss broke, her hand’s untensed against him and she quickly cleared her throat. “I – No – you don’t have anything to apologize for…” Softly, she whispered to him while shaking her head. “I’m sorry.. That might’ve…That probably wasn’t a good kiss.” There was heat in her cheeks and this embarrassment that caused her head to drop. Pressing her palm flata gainst his chest, her teeth sank down into her bottom lip, “Don’t be sorry, please. I don’t want you to be.”
He shook his head at her, tilting her chin up and using his thumb to gently pull her lip from her teeth. ❝ It was perfect... ❞ his voice cracked, because it was perfect. He took a deep, shaky breath, steeling himself for the heartbreak he was about to put himself through. ❝ Tatom...I can’t...I’m not right for you. I’ve done horrible things and I c-can’t...I can’t ruin you like I did her...❞
