Fallen Feather: Sweet Seduction
Harper silently sits beside my bed on a chair, sleeping, or so I thought. He opens one eyelid and smiles as he lifts his head and gives a luxurious stretch: “Sleep well?” I just nod and scan my room when I ask him: “Are we alone?” Harper nods and stands up to sit next to me on my bed, he puts one arm around me and pulls me closer so that I can lay on his chest. I hear his heart beating strong and hard, his fast pace of breathing slows down into a comfortable rhythm. “I didn’t dream you having wings, did I?” I ask Harper softly and he hugs me tighter with his one arm as he pushes a stray strand of hair out of my face with the other, “Does it scare you?” He softly asks me and I prop myself up to look into his eyes, “No it doesn’t.” I whisper with a smile and kiss his cheek, a feeling of wholeness washes over me, “Does it mean you’re a mutant from a comic book or an Angel?” I ask him as I nuzzle his neck, he lets out a delicate chuckle and says with warm and loving eyes: “No, I’m an Angel, but-” He cuts off and lowering his gaze at my lips, my heart decides to leap and numb my chest, unable to take a breath. Harper pulls me closer and I end up lying on top of him. His hands still in a tight embrace, “I don’t ever want to lose you!
” He exclaims with raw emotion trembling from his velvet lips. “I promise you!” I softly whisper into his ear and lower my head on his chest again, feeling his tempo as my body merges with his and our hearts beat as one.
“Heather, you made my heart feel love again and I want to thank you. I never thought this could happen, being happy and striving to share my life with you, but if I stay here I’ll be cast out as a fallen angel, never to return.” Harper sighs as he says this and my hand strokes his bare chest: “I don’t want you to choose, Harper, I love you too much” I reply with hurt fused to my words. “I’m going nowhere without you, Heather,” Harper says as he pulls my chin up to meet his gaze.
A smile meets my sad eyes and he pours his joy into my heart, he strokes my hair as he comforts me and I feel my body yearn to pull him close. Reading my mind, he pulls me on top of him with no struggle as his strength is unlimited and he holds me tight, safety consumes me. “I’ll never leave your side, Harper” I whisper and lean in to seal our promise with a kiss. A slight moan escapes his lips as we part and he stares into my eyes with passion radiating.
