"I am a bonfire I am a vampire I'm waiting for my moment you come on like a drug I just can't get enough I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more

and there's so much at stake I can't afford to waste I never needed anybody like this before. temptation waits."

Electric Storms

~*~

Heat. Ah God, the heat pours through me, flashes through my veins. Fire contained within your precious essence and it burns- I always knew it would, sizzling in my core.

I kiss a tender part of your throat and you whimper and the sound makes me shiver. To dominate you, you gave me that for such a beguilingly small price but I didn't know that not only would I get into your skin, I'd also get into your heart. Who would've guessed that you're a kinky little sex kitten? And so I take advantage of what I demanded, I delight in the marks on your skin, the iridescent bruises on the insides of your thighs, because you're mine, I paid the price.

You always keep your eyes closed and I never used to care except now I do- I know you and it just makes me want you even more. There should have been a warning sign- I should have known it was too easy. Now I'm chained to you because I can never give up this intoxicating heat.

Doomed to love you. Damn you. I watch your face twist in pleasure- feels so sugar~good making love to you, fucking you. Gorgeous dark locks tangled in my fingers, and you tighten- I know all the secrets of the universe!- they're in this moment, in your delicious surrender.

I want to crawl into your warm flesh. I cling to you as I never have, can't find the strength to leave anymore and in this moment there is a frightening intimacy like never before. Silently watching you, skinslick against you, moving with our combined breaths, so flushed and beautiful.

You open your eyes. I can't help it, I reach out to cup your face and you arch into my touch. Falling. I can't leave you.

So I stay, sleeping in stolen warmth and hoping that maybe you won't notice that I-

I should have known this was too easy. I've paid my price. Drowsing in your intrinsic muted sunshine I slip into dreams of molasses and butterflies caught in silken threads...

In my arms you stir and I can practically feel the astonishment radiating off of you, rolling waves of your internal glow and I kiss you-

I feel so weak and strong at once- needing you but possessing you. Maybe you let me... It's a feeling I'll have to get used to. Anything for your fire~skin, your eyes so full of painful humanity.

You bite your lip, and blushing in shame you say, "I love you."

I soak up the heat from your cheeks and I whisper, "I can't leave you." which is the same thing anyway.

~*~

"leaving you behind, a flash in the pan, a storm in a teacup, a needle in a haystack, a prize for the winning, a dead for the raising, a catch for the chasing, a jewel for the choosing, a man for the making in this blistering heat"

Hope you liked. It's... different from "Bedroom Eyes", which is good I guess because it's a different point of view. Lyrics are from "Temptation Waits" and "Hammering in my Head", both by Garbage. Review please?
