Hellbound With You (WN)

Abigail and Alex lay on the bed, chests heaving, drawing much needed air.

Even though Abigail was tired, she didn ’t want to succumb to sleep, afraid that he would disappear once she closed her eyes. She raised herself up slightly and rested on her elbow, gazing down at his gorgeous face.

Silently, she traced every contour of his face with a featherlike touch of her finger, as if she was engraving everything to her memory. She did just that for a while until Alex spoke. ”Abigail… ” he uttered her name as he lifted his hand and caressed her cheek. Emotions were swirling around in his tantalizing eyes. His eyes were more beautiful and mesmerising than the starry night sky that Abi didn ’t want to look away.

”Hmm? ” she smiled slightly but when she saw the serious look in his face, her smile slowly faded.

”I… ” he paused, looking torn, as if he was making a decision right then on whether to tell her the truth or not. ”I have something important to tell you. ”

Looking down at him, Abigail didn ’t know why but she couldn ’t even respond. For some reason, fear started to creep inside her heart. She was afraid, hideously afraid, that he would say goodbye to her and would disappear again. Deep within her, she didn ’t want to hear it, this important thing he was going to tell her. But she would listen to what he had to say, even though it might not be what she wanted to hear.

Swallowing, she retracted her hand from his face. ”Okay, go ahead. ” Her voice was calm but there was a hint of obvious sadness and fear within them.
