A secret. A secret worth dying for. That’s what you and Rafe were. Families that hated each other, parents that had been warring for so long that no one could remember what the war was over. Lines drawn. Forbidden love. Your love for him was a betrayal of your family. What you viewed as something beautiful would be something that your parents would hate. They’d destroy him and you.

I will sell my soul for something pure and true, someone like you

You had clandestine meetings. Each of you never able to get enough of each other. Both willing to risk anything to be with each other. No one knew. You were both experts at pretending like you hated each other in public. Truth was you both got off on it.

tap tap tap you smiled as you heard the familiar sound of Rafe’s knock against your window. He was here. You crossed your room, tugging the window open and smiling at him. He smirked at you as he gracefully climbed through the window.

His hands were immediately on you, one large hand on your waist tugging you to him, the other tangled in your hair, angling your head to his lips. He kissed you with an all consuming passion, his tongue demanding entrance to your mouth. You parted your lips, and he groaned against your mouth.

to be close to you, to be a part of you, cause I believe in you

Breathless, he pulled away, pressing his forehead against yours, drinking in the sight of you. His arms wrapped around you, not wanting there to be any space between your bodies.

“You were driving me crazy tonight, princess” he murmurs, hand trailing up your back. “Watching you talk to that guy your father set you up with was torture”

“I know. I hated every second of it” he presses soft kisses against your neck as you speak. “But you picked up on my signal right? Every time I touched my hair, meant I’m thinking of you”

“Yes, baby. I got your note too. Still didn’t stop me from wanting to punch the guy” he sighs, nuzzling your neck. “You’re all I can think of. Always”

I would die for you
