Jeff's P.O.V
Chapter 44:
For the first time in years, since my mind, soul and body had transformed into a monster I had gone to sleep, my body had finally gotten everything it wanted. I had never been so satisfied, so... happy. Alice had gently laid a smooth hand across my lidless eyes, the darkness that was a deep part of me gave me warmth and dragged me into a drunken slumber. My body and mind finally rested, the yearning hunger had been sated and now all it wanted was rest until it could feed again. Gently I pulled away her smooth hands, kissing the back of them gently. I stared at my Alice, she was finally mine. Her eyes were closed, her bare chest rising and falling with heavy, deep breaths. Her skin glowing underneath the haze of the butterflies wings. Butterflies laid throughout the crown of her head, kissing her hair gently, Alice's lips were parted and a sigh escaped them as she turned to her side. The butterflies flew away and she faced her back to me, still asleep. Hesitantly I scooted closer to her, gently trailing my fingers through her silk hair. Trying not to wake her. Touching her soft skin I kissed her arms, my lips feeling her smooth skin underneath my scarred mouth. She turned to face me. Her eyes had lost that gray sadness, that emptiness that seemed to hollow away the fibres of her soul seemed to of disappeared now. The vibrant emerald green of her eyes was burning with the passionate hunger that ran in both of us. She wrapped an arm around my neck and kissed me, I could taste a hunger still on her lips. A hunger which tickled the pit of my own monster. She raised a brow, a smile still perched on her face. "I'm surprised you're still here Jeff...After I was so shit last night I only expected for you to get what you want and leave" she said bashfully, her smile teasing me. I grinned, "You were perfect. Just as I imagined, the sex was only a little part of it Alice. Don't worry you will get better." I kissed the nape of her neck, tasting the lavender that lined her skin. "Thanks for everything Jeff...I don't know what I'd done without you" she said slowly, I nodded. "Same here Alice." she closed her eyes and turned onto her back, pulling the blanket over her chest. She opened her eyes to stare up at the ceiling and I found my eyes lost "Have you been with other women before?" she asked innocently, curiosity genuinely evident. I frowned. Not sure on how to answer the question. She chuckled, "You can be honest with me" I found myself grin back, "Yes I have. But you take the cake" she scoffed, "Really? I had no idea what I was doing?" She said, a cackle of a laugh erupting through her chest. I had never heard her laugh like that before, I wasn't sure if I was used to laughter in such a dark place. I found myself wanting to laugh with her, "Then how about some more practice" I grinned, she raised an eyebrow, her expression making the hunger for her start to stir. Start to want to be less gentle with her, "Only if you are there to help me" she purred, before she pulled me under the sheets.
