how come I never got used to the feeling of sleeping in a cage?
too long driving, too damn hungry; a tied-up hound but nothing stays
”The best things are worth waiting for,” she purrs as a coy smile tips up the corners of her mouth. It’s hidden from his view as she traces her lips down his neck, mirroring him tantalizingly. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, or even this easy, but her willpower has crumbled over time. She has watched the seasons pass, and she was able to elude his warm touch for a year before succumbing. The suspense was built not only for Sinner, but also herself.
It made this moment all the sweeter.
When Valdis breathes him in, she finds herself intoxicated, addicted. She doesn’t want this to end after all. Yes, she muses, Sylva can most certainly wait. Slowly – unwillingly – she peels her lips from his neck, but she doesn’t stray from his side. Comfort takes the place of her initial fear of him as his demeanor somehow seems to soften the longer they are together. Valdis, too, can sense herself buckling to his whims. There is still a fire in her soul, unable to be tamed, but somehow Sinner has reduced it to a kindle.
Her eyes blink up at him and memorize every ridge that comprises his chiseled face. Is she a fool to become smitten with a monster? Or was this simply in her cards because she is the child of one? Smiling with a single lifted brow, she savors the throaty laughter that tumbles past his mouth. ”Just a feeling that I have,” she admits with honeyed, teasing tones. It frequents her mind how this may all possibly be a ploy to build her up, only to break her down, but perhaps this is her taste of reckless behavior. By wrapping her in his web Valdis can very well be destroyed, but she throws caution to the wind as her gaze levels on his. ”Tell me something about yourself,” she murmurs, her voice quieted by the gentleness of their interaction, ”something not everyone knows.” Driven by her piqued interest, she dives deeper into knowing him, wanting to break down the walls that separate them still.
