@OfRuinousPoet — his, kissing him with urgency and force. She had been wanting to do that since the moment he followed her out of the bookstore.

@OfRuinousPoet — is 𝒔𝒐 much more to us than just two people who had been in love. My vulnerability, my first time being with someone in an intimate way — how 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒆 you use those moments against me.”

Tessa looked at her beverage and frowned, beginning to wonder why she thought she would —

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — the back of his neck. Keeping her eyes closed, Tessa leaned up on her toes and caved; she couldn’t fight the cravings anymore. She couldn’t pretend that she didn’t want to relate him again, after all this time.

Finally, she killed the suspense and pressed her lips against —

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — was willing to try to be better if he could do the same. She had gotten so good at running away, but he was right, it needed to stop.

“Okay… I’ll give us a fair shot. But you need to stop keeping things from me. I can’t deal with the secrets anymore.”

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — off, she looks down at the floor and fiddles with Hardin’s fingers gently.

She loved him more than anything, she had never felt so deeply in love with anyone before.

“I’m just scared, Hardin. I don’t want to get hurt. I want to feel safe in this relationship, okay?”

She —

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — promise me that you’ll be truthful?”

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — gently across his lips, “The secrets and the lies, I can’t do it again. I need honesty from you, and from myself, too.”

Could he at least give her that? Since the moment they met everything surrounding them had been a secret. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.

“Are you unable to —

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — never been much of a secret. She was in love with him. The good and the bad.

“Promise me things will be different? If we try again…”

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — It’s all that really mattered, after all.

“I know . . . I see it and . . . It makes me want to try again.”

Her voice was soft, words a near whisper as she closes her eyes to focus on the touch of his lips against hers.

“I’ve always wanted you.” She admitted, though, it had —

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

; I don’t even get mentions here. It’s ridiculous.

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — at him because somehow him hovering over her made her feel safe and protected.

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — secrets or the heartache anymore.”

She wondered if he would be capable of giving that to her, she had 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒅 for a change many times before.

“I’ve only ever wanted you . . .”

His height caused her neck to crane in order to see him just right, but she loved looking up —

“ She was the star that I’d always run back to.

We’re a mess yet we shine brighter together. »

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — knowing Hardin could be with someone else was enough to 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 her; and this time Tessa wasn’t willing to lose.

[𝓣𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝓨𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 @VirtuousBelle]

@OfRuinousPoet — Knowing he would oblige, she then moved her eyes to him, “Why haven’t you kissed me yet?”

And just like that, she crumbled. Knowing that there could easily be competition for his heart was exactly what she needed to push her back into his arms because at the end of the day, —
