I thought he left. I even felt bad that he left with no consideration for my bleeding hand, however the door immediately opens again and he walks straight to me. Without saying a word, he scoops me up and before I can settle in his arms, he puts me down on the bed. I feel slightly disappointed that I had to leave his embrace so quickly. What the fudge is going on with me!! Where are these naughty thoughts coming from, I scold myself as my eyes out of its own accord search out his face.
As I am put on the bed, a flurry of people enters the room and grabs my bleeding hand all at once! Are they insane, they will rip my hand off! Instinctively I scoop away from them and closer to him, who is now seated on the bed, bedside me. He pulls me in his embrace and I hear a collective gasp when he touch my bleeding hand with his. I don't know what the big deal is, but I see all of them has stopped trying to get a hold of my hand.
His touch, sends goosebumps down my hand and I am captivated by his eyes. I have no idea what is going on with me. I want to melt into his embrace and stay there forever. He turns my bleeding hand and the back of my hand rests in his big palm. As my hand, is lying on his palm , it feels so intimate as I watch my blood dripping over his hand. The contrast between our hands are beautifully on display, his big, strong and masculine and mine, small and dainty.
One of the healers, the oldest carefully approach us and says to me that I have to hold very still and not move my hand as he will heal me now.
I have no idea what the old man with the white beard is going to do, but I don't care. As long as I can stay right where I am. He carefully takes his hand and swipes it over mine without touching my hand! I look at him in wonder when the flesh on my skin knits together as if there was no wound at all. I bring my hand closer to my face and inspect the miracle! "Unbelievable," I say out loud, and momentarily forgets that I am in a strange place with complete strangers!
As quickly as the flurry of people entered the room, they leave as if being chased by demons.
I'm left alone again with him.
His thumb gently strokes over my palm, the place where the glass cut me. His gentle strokes sends shivers through my body. I'm scooped up again in his strong arms and carried into a huge bathroom! I don't know where to look, the splendour and pure luxury of it, is just out of this world. There is a big walk in bath. Steam is floating and hovering on top of it. I would really like to take a dip in that water.
I am however put on the vanity basin and he takes his place between my legs. Our position intimate for two people who do not know each other.
Maybe it's the lack of food and loss of blood that is making me so complacent and compliant as I watch him wiping the blood from my hand and his. My eyes do not leave his face as I see how he is concentrating on wiping our hands. His eyes finds mine and slowly travels down to my lips. The anticipation is killing me as I lick my dry lips slowly.
His face is slowly moving down to mine while his eyes are still fixed on my lips. His lips hovers inches from mine. I wonder if I should lean in and meet him half way. What if he never intends to kiss me? The embarrassment will kill me!
I can feel his breath on my skin. As I inhale his scent, I'm struck with a familiar smell. The smell of fresh morning dew, the forest after first rain.
As my foggy brain tries to link the familiar smell with a memory of mine, his lips finally reaches mine and the thought flies away from me.
A thousand sparks sets off in my brain as I feel his soft lips on mine. His lips moves against mine and I don't know what to do. Do I also move my lips? I want to ask him but as I open my mouth to speak, his tongue slides into my mouth. The feel of his velvety tongue exploring the folds of my mouth feels alien but astoundingly good. I try to move my tongue as-well but he does not allow that and deepens the kiss with a domineering and dominating stance.
His arms have slipped around my waist and I'm held in a tight embrace as he devours, my lips. I feel scandalous but I'm enjoying every minute of it. That smell again. My senses are trying to warn me, but my girly hormones are taking the lead in this oh so awesome, hot first kiss!
