A/N: Hi all..!
I blink into wakefulness.
Morning
For a few scant moments, I don't know where I am, my brain fuzzy. And then images of last night overwhelm me, bringing me into sharp awareness.
Last night...
Last night was...incredible.
I am momentarily still, afraid to break the stillness of the room, the strangeness of it.
I run a hand through my hair and notice the weak morning light through the gauzy curtains, invading the darkened bedroom.
I didn't mean to stay so long...why did I stay so long...?
I need to go...last night happened...as I planned. I have to go now so that I can finally triumph...that is what matters...
A soft groan breaks the silence. I turn my head to the sound, indecisiveness warring within me.
I don't want to see your eyes...I want to see your eyes...
My heart squeezes at the vision.
Asato...
You turn onto your back and let out a full sigh this time, your plush lips twitching up to the beginnings of a smile. Mussed black, glossy hair, thick lashes, and soft parted lips mesmerize me.
So much so that I can't help to lean toward you, my hand reaching out. With careful fingers, I brush at the smooth cheek and down to the delicate jaw.
Asato...
I don't want to leave. Not when you look so vulnerable and adorable and beautiful. My plans to walk away...tell you what you wanted to hear, tell you words of love, and then coldly turn my back on you...I wanted to hurt you... I was so sure last night...to just walk away and never see you again...leave you destitute and alone...so easy. Why can't I..?
I draw closer, listening to your even breathing. Before I can think anything about it, I give a tender kiss on your soft cheek and temple. I close my eyes and breathe in your alluring scent of fresh linen and flowers and sex.
I should go...Now...
Eyes fluttered open and brilliant amethysts shine at me. A brilliant smile.
"Kazutaka..."
My heart stops.
No. Don't say anything or has that been your plan all along? To say my name...to ensnare me with those beautiful violet eyes...? Will you be the one to leave?
"Kazutaka, what is it?" Asato sits up and I'm all too aware of your perfect beauty...how your bronzed skin glows and gleams...how my lips and hands glided over such silky nakedness last night.
I try to gather my thoughts and to remind myself of my purpose, my main goal in bringing my enemy down.
Suddenly, I am in your arms.
"Kazutaka, whatever it is, I'm here."
You hug me so tight, I can barely breathe. But I find I don't mind it one bit. Of their own accord, my arms wrap around your slender body. You relax fully against me.
I surrender.
