Violet
The space between us had shrunk to almost nothing.
The air suddenly felt heavy… and sweet with a faint scent from him I had never exactly smelt before. It had to be from the water…
'You're lying.'
My skin tingled where he touched me, and there was a warmth spreading through my chest that amplified the faint dizziness I felt.
His gaze dropped to my lips.
My heart stuttered.
'I'm seeing things.'
"We should..." I started, but the words dissolved on my tongue.
His hand slid up my spine, slowly, deliberately, his fingertips tracing each path through what I was wearing. The touch sent shivers cascading down my body, and raising goosebumps all over my skin.
He leaned closer, and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my lips.
I should step back, put distance between us, remember all the reasons this was complicated and messy and dangerous.
But when I opened my mouth, no words came out.
His forehead touched mine.
