Leaning down, I hold her face as I quickly brush my lips against hers. One day I’ll spend hours kissing her, but for now this has to be enough. After the second chime goes off, I release her and take a step back. My insides scream at me like I’ve taken away my life blood.
“When will I see you again?” she asks, and the way she rubs her legs together makes me think she’s already hoping for a repeat of today. That makes two of us.
“Tomorrow,” I answer, seeing the guards leading all the civilians out. “Come back tomorrow.”
She looks like she wants to say something, and I feel the same way. Somehow goodbye isn’t enough, but what can I do? Scream I love you as she leaves the prison? I want to, but that makes me sound fucking crazy, so I keep it to myself.
My dad told me one day I would find the woman I’d bring home to the island. How can that be possible when she’s the king's daughter? The queen can’t leave him unprotected, and I don’t know if they can both make it out of this unscathed.
When she’s out of the room and the metal door closes behind her, part of my heart leaves with her once again. Will she take all of it piece by piece? I’d gladly get on my knees and cut it out if that’s what she asked me to do.
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her, and even though that should scare me, all it does is make me want to dig deeper into her.
