Hellbound With You (WN)

Alex immediately froze under her. Nobody ever kissed him this way before and he didn ’t expect that just a kiss on his forehead would shut him down like this. He couldn ’t comprehend what he was feeling at the moment. All he knew was that this certain kiss she just gave him was worth a thousand kisses on the lips, the one kiss that he would never forget from all the piled up, intimate and l.u.s.tful kisses he had acquired before her. 

Before he met her, kisses were not meant for anything else but l.u.s.t and pleasure, but after he met her, it changed. The kisses that they shared were never for l.u.s.t and pleasure but from desire and passion, but it changed once again into this something indescribable one. This kiss was like a soft and warm blanket being wrapped around his frozen cold body, melting him effortlessly. He felt that this kiss was meant far, far more than just desire. At that moment, he felt like she didn ’t kiss his body, she had kissed his soul, his cold and pitch black soul. 

Abi felt him stiffen like a rock under her. 

She had felt this pain countless times before. Whenever he sat by the fireplace alone, Abi had always felt this pain in her heart as she looked at him. She thought that it was all because of the thought that she would be leaving him one day, but now she realized it wasn ’t because of that. 

This Alex in her embrace was just the tip of an iceberg. She always had this feeling that he was hiding things from her, things that she probably couldn ’t even imagine, but she only thought that what was hiding inside him was mere danger and darkness. She didn ’t see the dead emotion that he had killed inside him. She was too focused on her own wishes that she failed to see the turmoil this person was going through. 

She had seen it before that time at the beach, where he looked like a lost soul with nowhere else to go, like he belonged nowhere, yet she chose to believe in his tough, stone cold and indestructible exterior. 

Tonight, she realized that this person was the one who needed hugs and embraces more than anyone else. Had she realized this sooner, she would have embraced him more, every single time she had the chance.   

The two stayed like that, in silence, for an indefinite amount of time until a ringtone buzzed. 

Abi let go of him and pulled away as she stretched out her hand and took her bag. She sat on Alex ’s lap and was a little startled when she realized that the one calling was her grandma.

”G-grandma? Yes, yes grandma, we ’re almost there… ” she bit her lip as she stared at Alex. They had actually completely forgotten about the dinner.

”Yes, we ’re coming. ” 

Once the call ended, Abi returned to her seat as Alex immediately accelerated onto the road again.
