Rats! The damn thing flew away in the nick of time, but Datura was past the beyond the point at which he could slam on the breaks. Crap. The universe seemed to move in slow motion if only to allow him to contemplate his dreaded fate. He hadn't had any intentions of touching her, he merely planned to lick the damn bright light off of her nose and see what it tasted like. No contact involved. And yet here he was, leaning ever closer to her face and oompf!. For just a brief moment his tongue touched her mouth and he felt as if he had been shocked by disgust. Gross! Immediately he leaped backwards, blushing shamefully. "You... You missed." What? Distractedly his shook his head and tilted it, looking at her as if he were seeing her for the first time. It took him a moment to figure out what on earth was she talking about, for certainly she wasn't referring to the flying ember because she looked so damn pleased. OH! Did she think he was trying to kiss her? Damn. The golden boy coughed several times, looking sheepishly down at the ground and back at her. You're just going to have to go with it. LIE, damnit, LIE. Yep, nothing left to do. He felt as if he had somehow opened pandora's box without realizing it and now there was no way to shut it. Hell, he had let her kiss him, he had made her admit that she liked him, he had been forced to marry her... and now... now he was going to have to kiss her again to make up for the fact that he missed. "Oh yeah? Well then you try!" |
