Blink
He blinked.
In that brief moment of darkness was a flash of something bright.
His eyes flickered open once, concerned someone may be watching before he finally gave in; closing his eyes to give into the light. Parting his lips, pressing his tongue to take what was freely given, seeking out what he'd desperately desired since the instant he'd laid his eyes on her.
But it was tainted.
A Trojan Kiss.
His darkness had already tarnished this light.
She fled in a futile attempt to save him, not realising that the kiss was the closest thing to salvation he'd tasted in years. And all that awaited her at the end of her crusade was further corruption and deceit; another blemish on her glimmering soul.
He brought his fingers to his lips.
He blinked.
And it was gone.
