It wasn't a searing kiss, or a deep passionate one covered in lust; no, it was soft and gentle. It was a reassuring kiss. And the best part? I found myself enjoying it. His lips fit perfectly against mine, like it was meant to be.
I didn't respond at first. It wasn't my first kiss; I had kissed Elizabeth dozens of times behind closed doors, quite against her Orthodox Christian mother. But this one was so real, so compassionate. I found myself slightly upset when he pulled away. "Why did you kiss me?"
"You need to be taught how to love. Not some twisted, forced-by parents, only because you're nobility kind of love, but true love that you feel here." Sebastian pressed in the middle of my chest with his index finger.
"You don't feel love in your heart. It's in your brain."
"Perhaps so. But true love is felt here too. When everything the other person does is beautifully done, every word is romantic, every kiss as important as the one before; that is true love."
I watched his face. His hair shaped his face perfectly, well kept with some wildness to it, his eyes watching me; no, watching my souls decisions, his lips parted slightly with his fangs gently pressed against the inside of his lower lip. It wasn't even me that reached my hand up to gently touch his face, cupping his cheek gently, but at the same time it was.
His face was soft to the touch, like I pure silk. I brushed my thumb over his lower lip, and it was just as soft as his face. His mouth curved into a smile as he gently leaned his face into my hand. I drew over his eyebrow with my index finger, and finally slid my hand down a strand of hair before it rested on my chest. "You feel human." I whispered, and I heard his low chuckle.
"For what it's worth, so do you." Sebastian laughed softly, leaning down to gently kiss me again.
