Resolution.
Captivated – I was absolutely entranced by the closeness of him; by the scent of him, by the lush warmth that coursed through every fiber of my body with him being so near.
The questions in my head were plenty; they were unsteadily audible. I wasn’t expecting things to escalate so soon, if to escalate at all, because I was only a spectator, a mere admirer of the illustrious man in front of me.
I was nothing; he was everything. And together, we made a ‘something’ that was far beyond my life’s normality.
A welcoming chill blanketed me when Gall slowly, almost hesitantly, placed his hands on the small of my back. I shuddered – just a little – and looked up into the eyes of the man who was now holding me. His lips were slightly parted; one of his thighs brushed against mine. I noticed the shift in his pupils, and felt an array of emotions aiding my restless veins.
“But what if I don’t wanna let you go? What if I want time to cease – indefinitely?” he whispered, and then bent a little so that our gazes met. “Will you stay here, like this, with me, if only for a little longer?”
After seeing the determination and truth on his features, there was no question what my answer was going to be. After all, he ruled me; he was the Emperor to the struggling empire that was my stability.
But was I ready for things to change?
Was I ready to dive into something so profound?
Was I ready to experience everything I knew Gallan had to offer?
Maybe.
Hopefully…
“Yes,” I said, and then placed my hands on his shoulders. “I wanna bewhereveryou are. So yes, Gall, I’ll stay here with you for as long as you want me to.”
His gaze softened, and when he leaned in further, I closed my eyes and accepted my remarkable reality with a smile on my face, and a spark or two of thrill singeing through my skin.
Is this truly happening?I asked myself.
Yes; yes, it is…a voice said.
