"…skin of a killer…"

I heard his warning words, but they didn't register. He'd bared his chest, but his sculpted physique wasn't what left me speechless.

He shone. The sunlight prismed off his skin, like a million tiny beacons drawing me in.

The loathing on his face spoke louder than words. He stood stock still, tense and poised to flee. He saw a monster, a freak, but all I saw was ethereal beauty. My hands ached to touch him, to smooth his creased brow, to warm his diamond cold skin, but I was afraid to even breathe, lest he disappear.
