Drabble Request #2 - Requested Anonymously (It made me think of August!anon ❤) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gentle breeze blows in through the window. I look at her naked form, tangled in the sheet, and I am unwilling to leave just yet. God, she is literally the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. My eyes trail from the length of her neck, down over her pert little breast to the curve of her ass and on through to her calf. Her skin is smooth and milky in the moonlight. Her chest rises and falls as she sleeps, and I feel at peace. For a moment anyway.
I can’t keep her. As much as I want to, as badly as my body craves hers, she isn’t mine. She says she is, but I won’t allow it. I can’t give her the life she wants. I have a mission to complete. And it’s not fair to her for me to stay.
I cover her with the blanket and kiss her cheek softly; she smells of vanilla and sex. I brush her hair from her face and stare at the freckles that alight on her nose. I look back at her one last time as I exit the bedroom, burning yet another night into the ridges of my memory forever.
It’s not enough, but it has to be. She’s safer if I leave.
