I'm just a poor girl don't you care? If you read it, it's only fair....

DISCLAIMER

Time to sing the familiar disclaimer chorus:

These characters are not mine, and I am using them without the permission of Joss Whedon. (Although, that's sorta the idea of fanfic. . . ) I am not making any profit from my stories, and I'm not tough enough to go to jail, so let's just all keep this quiet. You know, I won't tell if you don't. . . But the story is mine, so that part's copyright and NOT okay to borrow or steal (but beggars are accepted. . .).


Now, let's all sing the refrain. . . .

HEARTBEAT – His Moment

By Night Bird

One moment can change everything.  Night to day, hate to love, life to death and back again.  In one breath a whole new world can open up before you, and if you stop to think it's gone again just as fast.  One moment to grab your chance and a lifetime to mourn it if you miss out.

One last chance to feel the life pulsing beneath that soft skin, only a fleeting taste of her warmth but I've got a long time to savour the feeling.  Forever, if it comes to that.

I hold out the flashlight to her, and see her hesitate.  Something inside me screams - at the other end of that cold steel barrel is heaven, and I must feel it.

Just for a moment her fingertips brush mine and the world is full of colour and sound, taste and scent.  Filled with her, as we kiss the first time, the last time, and all the times in between.  Filled with her as she rides me with total abandon, screams my name again and again, as we devour each other with the hunger of those who have starved for season upon season, as she lies exhausted in my arms with secrets spilling from her eyes as she looks right through me.

The darkness recedes, just for a moment.
