Chapter 53 Elena - Take What You Want

• I could barely think straight as Richard pulled up in front of our house, my thoughts ruled by desire and fear in equal parts. His lips felt perfect against mine, and that kiss was everything I had ever wanted.
• This one was different somehow. It was even better than the memory that sustained my love for him for so many years, yet it wasn't enough. It was odd how much more intimate a single kiss can be, compared to everything else we had ever done.
• Richard seemed on edge as he walked around the car, his expression unreasonable. It would have been much better if it was guarded. He offered me his hand, and I took it hesitantly. Never in a million years did I think we would find ourselves together in this way, yet part of me felt like we were inevitable.
