Awakening

Cuddling

         Almost abruptly he pulled me up from him and kissed me roughly. Unlike what I read, he made a face when he tasted me, but then he pulled me close fiercely. He held me. I'm afraid to stand he said.
         Why?
         He smiled at me. I did not realize how deeply he had affected me until that moment. I hope Aphrodite doesn't see me like this, I thought to myself, Or she'll tell Celeste and the Gates of Hell will open. He interrupted my train of thought.
         You've something on your mind.
         You know me so well, even though we've only been together for a few months.
         You're transparent at times dearest, he laughed. There was a look in his eyes which made me feel both aware and yet scared at the same time.
         maybe, was all I said, running my hands up his.
         I love you.
