Hello

Who am I kidding?! Here's the next chapter - I finished it and couldn't resist giving it to you.

This, also, is one of my favourite chapters :)

Now, I know that in Alice's we glossed over – well, pretty much – the first kiss. Here, my lovely readers, we are not going to do that. This whole chapter is about that fucking kiss.

Oh and I think we have a little something towards the end of this chapter… *smirks*


Bliss.

Pure, unadulterated bliss.

With the feeling of Alice's lips moving against mine, I couldn't control myself.

This was beyond anything I'd ever felt.

Maria and her chaste, near-kisses on my cheek, my neck were nothing like this.

My being shifted, as did my goals, my needs, my reasons for being.

She was all I'd ever need in the world; that much, I'd known already.

But this… dear God, this was more.

So, so, so much more.

It was heaven and hell at the same time.

Heaven because of the feelings that were coursing through me; of love, want, need, fire, passion and love!

Hell because I knew that, in time, we would have to stop.

My arms wrapped around Alice's waist of their own accord, pulling tighter to me.

Massaging, squeezing and rubbing at the flesh of her tiny hips as she slithered her hands from my chest to my hair.

Her fingers clenched into my hair, tugging and I immediately understood what she wanted.

I tilted my head to one side as she tilted hers to the other and I breathed in through my mouth, opening it.

She immediately took advantage, and I growled as she moaned, thrusting her tongue into my mouth.

Our tongues danced, sucking the other's, rubbing against the roof of my mouth and then mine to hers.

Our breaths were shared; as I breathed in, Alice's breathed out and I sucked in the sweet taste of her breath… only for her to do the same when I breathed out.

It was a lifeline.

It was a need, a fire, a passion.

I have to keep kissing her, my mind thought violently, desperation at its peak and she whimpered, feeling my need as it fed her own.

We were panting, our emotions crazed.

Her feelings were impacting heavily on my own and I knew that I was thrusting every emotion of mine out on hers.

Such is the advantage and disadvantage, in a way, of being an empath.

Our bodies were coiled around each other, a fact that I realized with surprise.

I hadn't noticed that in the middle of our amazing kiss, we had wrapped our arms around each other, tightly, our hips and chests touching… and not softly.

We pulled away, the whole kiss seeming to last for a lifetime, but only really lasting forty seconds.

Our movements had seemed to be all done in our natural speed and it… well, it shocked me.

I kissed the spikes of her black raven hair as she buried her face in my chest, her emotions blissed out and triumphant.

I smiled at her emotions and whispered, "Thank you."

She was so happy that she was shaking in my arms, but she was strong enough to pull back.

She smiled softly, love in her eyes and I swallowed, overcome.

"That's alright, my love."

Standing here, looking in her eyes, I knew exactly what I needed to tell her.

It was really what I'd wanted to say, deep down, since I'd first seen her.

And now was the time.

"Alice," I said softly, and she pulled away again, having moved back to her former position in my arms.

The time was now.

I was nervous, but I built up enough courage to tell her.

"There's something I need to say, something that's been biting away at me the last week and I–"

Her eyes brightened.

"I love you," she said softly and I stopped, stunned.

A plethora of emotions coursed through me, sending fire and passion through me and I responded the only way I could.

"Precisely," I said, awe-struck.

I pecked her lips and, looking in her eyes, responded the only way I could.

The only way I would for the rest of our eternity together.

"I love you."

Yes, this was bliss.


I love that last line.

Alrighty, we're all caught up! Now... unless the deep thoughts in your mind about the past two chapters! :)
