I can feel it burning against my psyche. Leaking through
his apparently not so impenetrable composure. Need. The intensity of it
blurring my eyes and dragging all of the oxygen from my lungs. The gentle brush
of his ragged breath on my skin so intoxicating I lose all sense of focus. This
time, when his name escapes my lips it is not voluntary. Compulsory. Rolls off
my tongue so freely that I can only assume it is instinct. Some deep rooted desperation
I must have been born with to have him closer. Were that possible. The only word in my vocabulary with the
capacity to convey the feeling tainting every currently heightened sensory
ability I possess. The groan I can feel reverberating through his chest is so
deep, so primal that it’s akin to a growl. Shredding my nerves with the
contrast of this with his inherently civilised vernacular. My muscles react
readily. Hungrily. Tensing. My fingers curl into claws, anomalous to me yet
somehow necessary in this context. This building in my blood, a more blinding
variation of a familiar emotion. I have to wonder at whatever baffling
serendipity led us to this point. His lingering scent leaves me with a sense of
somehow comforting eldritch.
