Snippet #2343817

Amara felt her heart sink a little when he let her go and swam away, over to the wall. She felt guilty. Maybe she should have kissed him? Did he want her to? She heard him sigh and it just made her feel worse. Maybe he had. She slowly let her hues rake over his form, drinking him in as he spoke to her. She wasn't sure what he was talking about, something about water in the underworld. Amara wasn't really listening, she was walking back over to him, enjoying the way that his eyes seemed to glue themselves to her. As she walked over to him, the water level got lower, revealing her chest from the water. Goose bumps waved across her skin.

"..It's too hot to be able to keep it there." he was explaining. She nodded and offered him a smile. "You left me, I got cold," she said playfully, as she pressed herself in against his chest. She purposefully meant to press her waist in against his, but played it off as if she didn't realize. "My mother loved coming here. She loved the beach, and the water, like me." It was just idle conversation, as her hand gently stroked his side. "I'm glad you're all healed.." She tipped her head back to look up into his face, taking in his strong features and his delicate mouth. "You have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen, Rily," she whispered, tendering reaching up to run her fingers through his hair.

Her heart fluttered in her chest with excitement. He was a demon. A real demon. He could kill her, right now, if he wanted to. Something about being the gem in the eye of a being that could easily murder towns full of people was thrilling. Now she knew why Bell had fallen for The Beast. He wasn't anything like the beast, though. He was already handsome, and kind. "You're amazing.." she whispered, and in the heat of the moment, she rose onto her tiptoes and pressed her lips into his. She stayed there for only a moment before she slowly pulled back, unsure if that's what he wanted or not. Tingling sensations danced up her spine. Kissing him was not like kissing other men. As if some sort of chemical had gone off at the contact of their lips, she felt as though she were slightly buzzed.
