Rafe took in a deep breath. He wanted to tell her that he wanted her to be with him, but he just couldn't. "I want you to be happy. That's all I really care about." It was the truth, but not what he wanted most in the world. He wanted her to let him hold her and to tell him to kiss him, right then and there. Even if it was their last kiss for a lifetime.
He never meant to cause so much trouble. She was the one that told him that she liked him to, and it was agonizing. He wished he never spoke to her behind the statue. It would have been easier now that way. He would probably be in the Three Broomsticks now, drinking and laughing with friends, disguising how he truly felt. He was good at keeping a secret, he had kept one his entire life.
Marilyn watched him closely, the hurt in her chest exanding. How was it possible to like Carter but feel...
this way for Rafe? It was unlike anything she'd ever dreamed of in all her short existance. Seeing the pleading looks Rafe was flashing her way left her feeling torn. She didn't want to let him off the hook that easy. Wasn't she suffering just as much? Didn't it hurt to be with Carter and think about Rafe? Not that she did that...That would be slightly...wrong of her. Oh, gods. Who was she kidding?! She thought about Rafe all the time. She...She really did care about him.
She couldn't stop herself this time. Marilyn closed the gap between them quickly, wrapping her arms around Rafe's neck. She assaulted his lovely mouth for the second time and groaned. She didn't want to let him go. He tasted absolutely intoxicating, making her tighten her hold on him even more.
