The Sunspire ocean eyes

she was nearly proud of herself until they were tumbling over one another in the snow, kicking up brilliant sheets of white as their bodies clashed against each other and the earth.

when they landed, he was standing over her and it caused the lower regions of her abdomen to tighten uncomfortably.  she flushed, her mouth dumbly parting.  she was normally so elegant!  but around him she felt herself becoming more casual and that was dangerous.  still, she could not find words to parry his lie — that was a good start.

was he getting at something?  her heart hammered in her chest.  she was prone beneath him.  part of her wanted him to be getting at something.  she wanted a distraction from the whirling hurricane that was her personal life, even if it meant making things worse.  she had never let herself just go with the moment.

so when he touched her, she exposed her neck to him before reaching to rest her nose at the base of his ear.  was it now? she teases.  she should be appalled with herself for taking advantage of him like this.. but she isn't.  instead, she pushes every thought of mato and zada from her mind and focuses on this purely objectively handsome boy that is devastatingly close.
