the vampire lover
He kisses the quickening pulse at her neck.
"I love you," he whispers in her ear. "I love you more than anything in the world," He raises his hands to her hair and pulls at the brown locks to get a better view of her face.
She turns her head away, so he tugs harder at her hair. She lets out a small gasp, but she still does not abandon her choice and stays resolute. He frowns at her and lets out a small exasperate sigh.
"Why do you…" He stops short and contemplates his words. "Why…" He stops again.
"Because I hate you," she spits out. She lunges at him with her tied fists but he quickly sidesteps her attack. "I trusted you!" she screams. She sucks in a deep breath as tears escape her tightly closed eyes. Her shoulders shake with exhaustion and her fists clench together. "I trusted you, and…"
His forehead wrinkles up in confusion and he points his index finger where her heart is drumming on and on in a rhythmic pattern. It sings to him like a lullaby. He kisses her tear-streaked face and holds her tightly in his arms. Instead of trying to push him away this time, she places her head in the crook of his neck and bites on the collar of his shirt. "I hate you," she repeats weakly, "I hate you so much."
"But I love you," he says, "I love you so much."
He crushes her beating heart underneath his palm.
It makes him smile.
