Ache and Hunger

Description

"Alexis, you're wearing my patience thinner than usual," he sounded disappointed as he spoke those words. Had he expected me to be honest with him right away? Yeah, like I am capable of such things.

I wanted this, him. And yet, I selfishly wanted the man that hunted my dreams as well. The man in front of me is real, and I could have it now. I opened my eyes, staring deep into his dark brown eyes that almost looked black.

I spoke the words he wanted to hear, and I wanted to say, "I'm yours."

He lowered his head until I felt his breath against my ear. His chuckled low and dark before he spoke in an equally dark whisper that made me clench, "You delicious little girl. You don't even know what that truly entails. You don't even know what I am".

I leaned back enough for him to see my face. I arched an eyebrow as I spoke in a definite challenge, "So tell me, right now. What are you?"
