She felt Rafe's breath whisper over her skin as he said the most beautiful words she'd ever heard. And when he finally kissed her, it was like fireworks. Fitting herself around him tightly, she was unable to stop kissing his perfect mouth. Why couldn't Marilyn get enough? ...because this is more than like, Marilyn....She pulled away to looked him straight in the eye. Did this really have to be it?
Rafe moved slightly forward as she moved back. He didn't want this moment to stop. She didn't say anything she just looked at him. Perhaps, she changed her mind? He didn't know. He wasn't quite sure if he wanted to know. This pulling back and forth on his heart was quite painful enough. He took a few steps back and turned away from her.
"I will find away to make this easier on you," Rafe said quietly. He forced himself to look at Marilyn once more. She was absolutely radiant and a little bit of the sun beamed through to the dark alley and made her hair shine brightly like gold.
"I'm sure you will be missed by your friends. You should go," he said as he nodded towards the street where they came from. It was the most painful three words he ever had to say.
