My body instantly grew hotter. If he was not careful then I was going to combust under his touch.

I brought his huge, calloused hand so it was laying on top of my racing heart.

"My heart feels like it is going to explode." I stated, "I think you have stolen the air out of my lungs."

If I went into cardiac arrest, then mouth to mouth would certainly not help. Not with his punishing kisses.

"It is retribution." He replied, his voice uneven, his fingers running lines over my chest "That is exactly what I feel..."

A kiss later and he added, "When I hear your voice."

Another Kiss.

"When your laugh fills my ears."

Two Kisses.

"When you tease me." He continued to list.

Three Kisses.

"When you smile."

A trail of kisses along my jaw and he added as he sucked on the skin "When you are in the room."

"You seemed like you knew what I was thinking as soon I walked in the door." I peered up at him and tilted my head "Was it written all over my face?"

"Yes." He answered with a chuckle "That and I am an Ella-expert."

"Just because I love you does not mean that you are not the most irritating person on the planet." I spoke as I threw my head back against the mattress as he continued to cause the ecstasy feeling on my body "That will never change."

He leaned into my ear and bit the lobe. He then whispered sweet nothings against my skin which caused a ripple effect of goosebumps from my neck to the rest of my body.

"You are infuriating as well, Medusa." He spoke "I really thought I was going to have to spell it out for you. It was so painfully obvious that I loved you. Everyone knew I was crazy for you. Except from you."

"Sorry." I said in embarrassment and then felt the need to add "I have been pretty slow. Are you sure you love me?"

"Undeniably." He affirmed, his dark tone taking over to make it known that his word was a law "If you left me waiting any longer then I think I would have gone mad. I would have waited nonetheless."

I became aware of the green walls surround us. The four surfaces cornered us and shone green across us.

The colour was the second-best thing in the room.

His gaze was so soft as he uttered "I do not want to hurt you, Ella."

"I will be okay." I tried to keep my voice strong while I kissed his jaw, and I tried not to glance down at the monster looking up at me.

When a new thought made its way into my head, I announced it in the form of a moan "I have a theory."
