This is how it should have been for us…this moment. This is what was meant to happen.
Finally, he’s standing right in front of me. His head angles down, and my head angles up, eyes not leaving each other. His violent shivers shake the both of us. Just an inch separates our bodies. Dipping his head down toward my neck, he inhales, Growls vibrate his expanding chest as they percuss into mine.
My heart flutters wildly, and his nose almost touches my flesh. Lips are so close to my skin, and his fingertip almost touches me, just hovering…waiting…Can he feel my breath on them? He pulls himself away, just a step back, but it feels like we’re now standing miles apart. If I were quick enough, I could claim him now. No one would look down on that…except him
Opening up his mouth, letting a long breath out, he looks me in the eyes. By the way he is squaring his shoulders, I know this is going to hurt.
“I love her, but I can’t stop myself from wanting you. I can’t stop myself from wanting to touch you. I want to stop myself, but I can’t.” His agony hurts my ears with the pain he’s feeling, the conflict his body and mind are waging within himself.
“She’s what I love, but you’re what I need.” He takes another long inhale into his lungs, and his eyes close for just a fraction of a moment before they open into the color of a deep dark. forest canopy. My turn to reach for him, fingertips extending, but he’s standing just a feather’s breath too far.
“I don’t want to hurt her,” he whispers.

“Stop.”
He says this out loud, not to me, but to himself before his face goes back to his skin side.

“I never had a first kiss. I never had a first love. I never had any of that. I was saving all of
that for you.” His eyes close, looking so pained.
“I’m so sorry,” he quavers. My hand goes over my mouth, a sob trying to escape from my hand that’s trying to keep my cries silent, trying with every ounce of dignity to control myself…I just can’t.
“What’s so wrong with me? I could have been everything to you…” The words are hardly recognizable with the crack of my voice, the sobs pouring out. My chest burns with the emotions I’m feeling.
“Rya, nothing is wrong with you. You’re perfect in every single way. It’s me.” He touches his heart. “I just can’t let her go, but I can’t stop myself from being here with you.” He clutches. the material of his shirt in his hand. I want to be that material.
“Since you came back, I can’t get you out of here.” He taps his head.
“I want to touch you, but I want to hold her.” He raises his hand up so his fingertip almost brushes my lips. I can feel the electricity from his almosttouch tingling my lips.
