It's hard to picture him with someone else. When I first met Kohl, it was easier to see different classes of girls leaving his apartment building at all hours, taking off in cabs and fancy cars. I don't know, I guess I didn't have any hand in the matter. But now...my whole chest feels like it's caving in when I even think of him looking at someone else the way he looks at me. If he is still seeing other women, I don't think I'd want to know about it cause I'm afraid of what it would do to me. We're no commited to each other and really, that's my fault. I'm the one always pushing him away but day by day, he's taking down the barriers I carefully constructed one by one. And a part of me doesn't even want to stop him anymore. Sometimes I think it would be the best thing in the world to surrender, to just let him in. But this discipline is carved into me like stone. I've worked my whole life and more toward becoming the best hunter that I can be, to saving lives that couldn't be saved otherwise. Kohl doesn't seem to get that it's not about the fun of it, it's about the big picture, about keeping humans on this earth. He seems to notice the slight growl in my voice when he looks at the blonde girl, his smirk almost infectious as he tells me that he prefers brunettes. My lip quirks as I fight the urge to smirk back at him. "No, can't say that you did." I manage to purr back to him. I don't know how or why I allow him to lead me onto the dance floor. Maybe a part of me craves that closeness more than even I realized. He removes the sunglasses, giving me the honor of his blue gold gaze that makes my heart quicken with just one glance. His hand flows to my hip as if it belongs there and I resist the urge to melt into him as a part of me suddenly wants to. I hold myself as steady as I can, meanwhile my skin flares to life beneath the touch of his hand. I laugh lightly as he tells me I don't have a choice. "I guess I can give you that much." I offer him a mischeveous smirk and as if playing into my dare, he suddenly pulls me against him, a gasp pushed from my lips as he does so, brows lifting in surprise. My whole body feels tingly now and I'm ever aware of the hard taut muscles beneath his rather thin shirt. His eyes are so piercing this close up. I feel like I'm going to hyperventilate or quit breathing altogether, I just don't know which yet. He chuckles as if he knows exactly what he's doing to me, pulling me into the song as if we'd been moving to it all along. I let my body move with his flawlessly, following his lead like it's instinct. Of course it helps with a power like mine since I'm so full of adrenaline and hormones right now, it's almost like being in a fight. I can sense each move before he makes it. He simpers and I move out from him, spinning before being drawn back to him as I inhale sharply. I raise a brow as he starts speaking, my breath hitching as he traces lines of fire on my thigh. I can feel his hand brushing against the handle of one of my blades and I simper back at him now. I know how he feels about sharp objects. My brows furrow. "You wouldn't.." But of course I know he so would. I squirm against him at the thought of his traveling hands, my body warming at the mere thought. Damn him. Biting on my lower lip, I suddenly lean close, whispering feather soft in his ear. "Do we really have to stay here all night? I can think of so many other things I'd rather be doing with you..." |
