Chapter 149: Marked
EMMA
~
I was eager to open my eyes but I couldn’t... because of my dream... of that day, when I awoke with Dace sleeping beside me. It was further imprinted in my head right now because all I could see was his sleeping form before me. Gosh, he looks so perfect, his messy dark hair I wanted to run my fingers through, his thick dark eyebrow, full, that my fingers wanted to desperately line through, his thick eyelashes flicked move now and then. His perfect nose and his silky lips begged me to kiss, cover, bite, and suck.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him, he was too just perfect, I could look at his features all day and never get tired of it, Never. I trailed my wandering eyes to his neck, and I gulped, I have never wanted to run my lips through something before, he looked so tasty, like a delicious candy calling me to lick all over, I really wish I could do that right now, but I just settled to imprint all part of him in my very brain.
I moved to his chest, He was turned to the side so I could only assess his left side, and then something caught my undying attention, laying before my eyes, I have never seen it before, although my freaky eyes were doing that off and on thing again, I just couldn’t take my eyes off it, it was part of his flesh just at his left chest but it differs from the rest of his body although the same color, it was in some sort of marking.
I flicked my eyes open... blinking numerous times before my vision cleared, I was forced to believe that I was just woken up on my own but that was wrong... it was because of the burning pain in my chest like I was being branded by iron. I groaned, placing my hand against it and rubbing it gently.
"Emma"
I leisurely shifted my gaze to the voice, it was blurry. "Dace?" I felt my heart swell but the moment my vision cleared to get enough detail my smile slowly faded when I saw Owen.
"Hey," he gave me a weak smile, before giving me my glasses, which I put on. I was eager to get up now and I did, he helped me and I rested on the pillow behind.
"W-What happened?" I groaned holding my head trying to recall, I was back to reality and not my sweet dream I desperately wanted for it to be real.
"You passed out... after..." he paused. And then I recalled everything, back in class when I was trying so hard to move that cup which I did but it ended up a disaster and I couldn’t clear my head of the pain.
