Chapter Twenty-three: Choosing

"Hey."

"Hey back." I sighed. I glanced up through my lashes, feeling the blush spread across my face and down my chest. Trying to hide, I let my hair fall forward into my face. Will tucked it behind my ear and palmed my face, forcing me to look in his eyes.

The magnetism I felt around him flared. It was like the burning of a fire that was always there, but when you threw on new kindling it brightened, blinding all eyes looking. His gaze blinded me. He gave me tunnel vision; I couldn't focus on anything other than his penetrating cocoa eyes.

I'd asked him once if they were fake. He rolled his eyes and told me that yeah, they were glass, and that he actually had superhuman hearing and smell to make up for the lack of sight. That was the end of our conversation. Dingbat.

It seemed so unreal that he could undo me with a single glance. Talk about timing; if only I had met him when I was whole. I could feel deserving of that look he gave me, it told the world I was the only thing that existed. I was pretty sure that I looked at him the same way.

He rubbed his thumb against my cheek bone. My eyes moved away from his taking in his entire face. There were crinkles around his eyes, telltale signs of his amusement. I hoped I hadn't been drooling. Will's lips were curved up into a half smile, his cheek raised sardonically.

He moved his hand back into my hair. "Don't hide from me," he whispered.

I shook my head. "I can't. I've tried, and I can't."

He chuckled. "I don't know what it is about you."

"My sparkling personality," I flirted. "Oh, and my unbeatable charm." I leaned a little closer to him so that our mouths were only inches apart.

He smiled, teeth peeking out from behind his lips. "I thought charm was what drew you to me." His eyes flickered between mine and my lips, which hovered so close I could taste the tic-tac he'd eaten a few minutes ago.

I minutely shook my head, forcing my hair back over my shoulders. "Nah, it was your body." I raised my eyebrows. "Glistening sweat." I moaned lightly, watching him closely through hooded eyes.

Will's pupils dilated, and he perceptibly licked his lips. Now it was my turn to frantically decide whether to stare at his brown eyes darkened in desire or his moistened lips.

He didn't make me choose.

Will wrapped his hands in my hair closing those inches between our mouths. My eyes immediately closed, overwhelmed with the stimuli. His lips were soft yet firm. They moved against mine instinctively, pulling my bottom lip between his and chewing on it gently.

I gasped for breath, only to grip his shirt and pull him in for more. This time I slipped my tongue through to teasingly touch his bottom lip, flicking it once, twice.

Deep within Will's chest a growl murmured across our locked lips, making them vibrate, and me moan.

I'd never been kissed like this before. I'd never enjoyed kissing like this before. The idea of saliva from his mouth pouring into mine always grossed me out, and made me feel like I was drowning. But not with Will. He kissed me again, gently seeking entrance, and I eagerly allowed him to explore.
