"Midnight Kiss"
His eyes opened to the sudden weight pressed against him, taken aback by how she managed to creep up on him undetected. The fact that the sun was out and he had been asleep were the only reasons he had to blame, weakened without the darkness to strengthen his limbs. Her lips pressed to his and he was filled with dread, his arms like dead weights at his sides. He couldn’t move if he wanted to, her poison stilling his movement. He wasn’t the type to feel fear, to be encompassed by it, to let his entity be shaken by it. He concluded it must be another part of her poison, but all he could do was lay beneath her, staring up as her form lowered to steal another deadly kiss from his lips.
The healing properties in his blood worked to counteract the poison quickly, but with her constantly moving her lips against his he wasn’t getting very far. His hand moved to her thigh, and his body ached with the effort. It had been so long since he’d felt what it was like to ache, he almost thought he could thank her, in fact he admired her technique. As much as she transfixed his mind, he couldn’t let himself fall to her wonder. It was unclear whether she was simply toying with him, or if she really was prepping him for a final death, but either way he needed it to stop.
His hand pushed at her thigh, forcing her off of him, brows furrowing with the amount of energy it took just to accomplish such a simple task. “If you wanted in my bed, there are other ways to reach bliss than poisoning me.” He mocked, cheeky until the end of his days. “I wouldn’t mind showing you some other places that are wonderful to kiss.”
