Sacrifice

by Michel, Mayandree

  I pulled away from him. My hands trembled as I slipped the shoulder straps of my chemise over my shoulders, letting it fall to the floor in a puddle of silk georgette around my ankles. Victor stared at me for a moment, drinking in my nakedness. He stepped toward me, erasing the space between us in a flash of a second.

  “You’re beautiful and mine finally,” he whispered, and took me in his arms. His warmth calmed my shiver.

  “Yes,” I panted and the man I loved, more than anything in the world, lowered his head just as cobalt flames blazed in his eyes, and the familiar scent of burnt coal filled the air.
