The Proverbial War

Breaking apart slightly I tried to catch my breath and gather my thoughts, but his words had me focusing suddenly only on him. "How does it feel for you?" He'd asked softly.

Things started to add up in my head and I met his knowing gaze and said, "You know about me don't you?"

His look was thoughtfully contemplative as he responded, "There are some giveaways."

My gaze lowered from his and I pressed back enough to turnaround, but his arms wouldn't release me.

His words sounded loud next to my ear even though he spoke no louder than a whisper, "Did you like it?"

I bit my lip hard. I had!

Still pressing against his arms to be free I asked, "Don't you mind about what you've guessed at?"

His words came slow and steady, "Did you like our kiss Kim? Yes or no."

"Yes!" I admitted.

His hands turned me about before I knew it and my head was pulled back so that my eyes met his probing gaze again even as his free hand possessively pressed against the small of my back and drew me into him. I swallowed at the sight of the smoky passion that burned brightly in his eyes for me.

He spoke, "Yes, I do mind Kim. I mind very much actually, but………"

I waited breathlessly for him to continue.

"But I can overlook the past, if from now on no one else is involved. Sound good?"

I don't know what kind of spell this man had me under, but I nodded my head.

"Good! But I need something more from you than just that commitment. Your mine Kim. Say it."

His words weren't threatening, but they were infused with confidence and the knowledge of his eminent dominance. My mind raced over everything and came up with a startling discovery, which I meekly gave voice to, "I'm yours."

"You won't run away from me again right?"

"I…… I……" I stuttered, as I tried to frame words.

His voice broke in and his words reflected a revealing honesty, "I say the wrong things at times and I can be a real jerk, but I'll never hurt you Kim. You can trust me."

"I don't even know you." I said softly.

He smiled as his head lowered again to mine, "Let's fix that then."

I pulled back breathlessly from another drawn out kiss and surprisingly he let me go. That helped knowing that he could pull back like that and let me have a little space.

Things were happening way too fast!

One day I was getting thrills, the next day I was being kissed out of my senses. I'd be his Eve before I knew it and helping him keep the species alive from extinction if I didn't watch it and yet I'd already told him that I was his.
