❛ i think you’d better hurry up and kiss me, then. ❜
this is a sweet poison he’s chosen ; a marvelous way to die. he remembers the time her brothers beat that one guy’s face in for getting too close to her, and he almost lives off the thrill of the thought of what they’d do to him if they saw him getting this brave, -- but he can’t help it. the second she popped her head in during that meeting, the second he saw her-- there was something gnawing at his mind, consuming his being. he needed her-- he needs her-- and he plans on getting her.
toothpick is carefully juggled by his tongue, moving to the other side of his mouth as he stands over her ; the palm of his hand is pressed to the wall above her head, body leaning against his arm. ❛ i don’t really give a shit what they say. ❜ if he has to reiterate it another twenty times, he will. -- oh, he’ll gladly oblige each time he’s given the opportunity to rat on himself and just how raw his intentions are. ❛ the last thing i’ve ever done is let anyone tell me what to do, and your brothers ain’t gonna be the first ones to change my mind. -- and i think you know that. ❜ maybe because she’s just the same?
yeah? well you know what i think?
❛ -- what’s that, princess? ❜
i think you’d better hurry up and kiss me then.
for a moment, he doesn’t move. instead, he looks at her, this kind of wonder filling his eyes, combined with this childlike glee, and that grin turns wicked. index and thumb from his free hand take the pick from his mouth, and he frees up his other from leaning against the wall to cup the back of her head. it’s a slow, swift movement forward that has her lips caught up in his own, and he’d be lying if he said it didn’t make him feel like he’s floating. it isn’t any quick peck, either. it’s long, drawn out-- and somewhere along the line he finds it within himself to make his tongue push past her lips, wrestling with hers. a slow draw away only comes into fruition in the form of his teeth tugging on her bottom lip, and once they’ve parted, he curls his pointer finger under her chin to tilt her head up. ❛ you taste just as good as i thought you would. ❜
