-------------------------------------

In a rush, she flurried to the bathroom. Tears were starting to run uncontrollably down her face. She turned the cold tap on full blast and began splashing her face, hoping to wash the tears away.

"Tess," Evan said timidly, as he approached the open door. She hadn't wanted him to see her crying; she didn't want him to think she was weak. Hesitantly, she turned off the tap and wiped her face dry with a towel.

"I.. I'm sorry," he muttered, "really". Slowly she raised her head and faced him. His face was mixed with pain. Pain she had caused him. She couldn't bear the guilt of it any longer.

"No, your right," she whispered, letting the tears come this time, "I don't love him. I don't know why I even married him. I mean I was so scared of... of us, and..."

Evan brought his hand to her lips, silencing her, "you don't need to explain". His touch sent shivers through her body as he gently pushed her hair back behind her ear, "I know".

Timidly, she shied away from his touch and closed her eyes. "Why do you put up with me, after all I've put you through?"

Evan smiled lopsidedly and started moving up behind her. She spun around and found he was much closer to her than she had thought. Unruffled, he snakily wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer into his chest. If not for his strong grip on her, she felt she'd fall to the floor for sure. "I think you know why," he whispered smugly into her ear, sending her heart racing.

By now Evan had drawn her in so close to his body that barely a hair's breadth separated them. He was in such close proximity that she could feel the warmth from his body radiating through her, as she could also hear the steady rhythmic beating of his heart, and the strangely erotic sounds of his somewhat strained breaths.

Daring herself to look in his eyes, she caught his stare. His eyes searched hers, searching for any signs of hesitation. She gave none.

His cheek brushed hers gently, causing a strange tingling sensation to rip through her. Then his lips were right in front of hers, hanging there, lingering there. Timidly, she took the forbidden move forward, crossing that tiny distance that had always seemed so infinitely large, and embraced his lips with hers.

Kissing those foreign yet so familiar sweet lips, she lost all her sense of reality as all her worries and pains were swept away and Evan filled her every thought. The kiss was sweeter than she had ever imagined. His lips were soft, and she could taste a faint trace of mint on him. She felt excited and aroused as electricity jolted through her, awakening every sense in her body.

Hungry for his love, she kissed him again and again, letting her hands roam through his hair and down his body. Suddenly he broke the bond, pausing to catch his breath.

"Tess," he panted heavily, reading her face again for any signs, "are... are you sure of this?"

Her entire being screamed YES! She had wanted this for too long. "I'm sure".
