Chapter 19: The Sweetest Words Ever
I felt the pressure of Dimitri's hand over my eyes before he spoke again. "I don't want you to see this," he murmured, pulling me closer to his body. But even with my eyes covered, I could still see. After all, I was seeing through his eyes and not my own.
"I take it you forgot I was blind?" I smirked leaning back just to see his reaction.
Pulling me even closer to his body, I felt his body vibrating as he let out a low growl. "I won't even ask how you were able to shoot so well blind."
I scoffed at his remark. "I lost my sight, not my smell. It's not too hard to guess where the zombies were coming from based on their stench."
Ever so slowly, he removed his hand and stared down at me. It was... disconcerting, looking at myself with the same intensity that he was. I could see every last healed scar crisscrossing my face as he took an extra minute to study the staples that bisected my cheek.
Then his eyes dropped to my lips, and suddenly, I was back in my own head, no longer able to see.
'Greed?' I asked, tentatively, not sure what was going on. I could feel his strong forearm under my ass as the rest of his body pressed against mine. But for the life of me, I couldn't see a thing. Was I broken? Again?
"Humph," replied Pride. "Maybe now he can stop touching you."
'But why can't I see any more?' I pressed. Being able to see was practically addictive, and I really didn't want to go back to the darkness again.
