Restraint

I lean in closer, inhaling deeply. It's as though I've never smelled before now, before her.

Every time.

My nose trails over the delicate skin of her neck, and she shudders at my touch.

Her heartbeats echo in my ears; I'm deaf to all else.

Either in fear or anticipation, adrenaline seeps in and taints her blood, intensifying the sweetness.

Venom coats my throat, blazing a path over frozen flesh. I imagine hell feels quite like this.

I close the distance, parting my lips just enough. Lips meet skin softly, sweetly. My tongue hazards a careful taste.

I smile.

Enough.



This begins my collection of entries for the Twilight 25. It'll feature mostly drabbles (exactly 100 words each) with several one shots mixed in. I'm looking forward to playing around with different characters in both AU and AH. Thanks for reading!

Thank you as always to justaskalice for giving the thumbs up. :)
