Because I loved you! she shouted. Because I didn't want to let you go! Because I didn't want to lose you! She hadn't realized she was crying until her voice hitched and she felt the tears on her cheeks. She swiped at them impatiently. I have never fought for anything in my life because I never had anything worth fighting for, but I was going to fight for you.
~ Airicka Phoenix
Every part of you was made for me. Your lips were made to kiss mine, your eyes were made to wake up to me looking at you in my bed every morning, and your fucking tongue was made to roll my name off of it. I am more certain of us than I'm certain I require oxygen to breathe.

He felt torn. He wanted her to feel safe with him, but he also wanted her to feel the sort of heady excitement that any young girl should feel when they fall in love. He wanted to give her everything she craved, and he was not quite sure he could do it.
That isn't fair. Her voice came out small, barely a whisper. I didn't ask to be thrown into all this. I didn't ask to fall for a guy that isn't even human. It just happened and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do next so if you have some magical guidebook, I'd love to borrow it.
Hey. He waited until he had her attention before continuing. I'm not angry. He gave her a small smile. You're back and I'm okay with that... for now.Her fingers trembled around the bottle. For now?His smile broadened and a wicked grin danced in his eyes. Well, it's only a matter of time before you remember why you fell for me.
