Bella and I have always burned hot.
It's all part of that soulmate thing I mentioned.
Desire and attraction line up equally alongside friendship and compatibility.
But this is a new Bella.
A different Bella.
She doesn't have long, brown locks that I can wrap my fist in.
But that's just hair.
She's thinner due to her time in the hospital.
But she still feels perfect in my arms.
She sounds the same.
Breathy moans.
Husky laughs.
Contented sighs.
But as we embark into the unknown… it feels new.
Even for me.
While I'm nervous.
She's bold.
Beautiful.
In control.
