New Beginnings

“I can see why I fell in love with you. You’re a good man.”

Her words made my heart jump. My hand went under her hair and rested on the back of her neck, “Bella,” I whispered in an attempt to stop it. Our faces drifted closer and closer, until I could feel her breath on my face. Apparently she had brushed her teeth this morning too. I watched her eyes fall shut.

It felt like every nerve ending in my body was on fire. The craving and need to taste her almost too much to bear. My heart raced and my body started to react, I could feel blood rushing to other parts as well. This wouldn’t be like last night’s dream, she was a mere breath away now, it was real. All I had to do was lean forward.
