Summer and Winter
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
His fingers tightened on mine and pulled me forward. Startled and overbalanced, i looked up at him, and then he was kissing me.
I froze in shock, but only for a moment. Wrapping my arms around his neck, i rose on my tiptoes to meet him, kissing him back with a hunger that surprised us both. He crushed me close, and i ran my hands through his silky hair, sliding it through my fingers. His lips were cool on mine, and my mouth tingled. And for a moment, there was no Ethan, no Puck, no Iron King. Only this.
He pulled back, slightly out of breath. My blood raced, and i leaned my head on his shoulder, feeling the steely muscles through his back. I felt him tremble.
"This isn't good," he murmured, his voice curiously shaken. But he still didn't release me. I closed my eyes and listened to his rapid heartbeat.
"I know," I whispered back.
"The courts would kill us if they found out"
"Yeah"
"Mab would accuse me of treason. Oberon would believe I'm turning you against him. They'd both see grounds for banishment, or execution.
"I'm sorry."
He sighed, burying his face in my hair. His breath was cool on my neck, and i shivered. Neither of us said anything for what seemed a long time.

“I’ll always trust you,” I whispered without thinking, and his hands tightened, turning me to face him almost savagely.
“No,” he said, narrowing his eyes. “You won’t. I’m your enemy, Meghan. Never forget that. If Mab tells me to kill you in front of the entire court, it’s my duty to obey. If she orders Rowan or Sage to carve you up slowly, making sure you suffer every second of it, I’m expected to stand there and let them do it. Do you understand? My feelings for you don’t matter in the Winter Court. Summer and Winter will always be on opposite sides, and nothing will change that.”
I knew I should be afraid of him. He was an Unseelie prince after all, and had basically admitted he would kill me if Mab ordered him to. But he also admitted to having feelings for me—feelings that didn’t matter, true, but it still made my stomach squirm when I heard it. And maybe I was being naive, but I couldn’t believe Ash would willingly hurt me, even in the Winter Court. Not with the way he was looking at me now, his silver eyes conflicted and angry.
He stared at me a moment longer, then sighed. “You didn’t hear a word I said, did you?” he murmured, closing his eyes.
“I’m not afraid,” I told him, which was a lie; I was terrified of Mab and the Unseelie Court that waited at the end of this journey. But if Ash was there, I would be all right.
“You are infuriatingly stubborn,” Ash muttered, raking a hand through his hair. “I don’t know how I’m going to protect you when you have no concept of self-preservation.”
I stepped close to him, placing a hand on his chest, feeling his heart beat under his shirt. “I trust you,” I said, rising up so our faces were inches apart, trailing my fingers down his stomach. “I know you’ll find a way.”
His breath hitched, and he regarded me hungrily. “You’re playing with fire, you know that?”
“That’s weird, considering you’re an ice prin—” I didn’t get any further, as Ash leaned in and kissed me. I looped my arms around his neck as his snaked around my waist, and for a few moments, the cold couldn’t touch me.

LOL just my favourite parts of the book/online novel. Ah, the beauty of forbidden love lol Bittersweet and irresistible <3>
Just pray it doesn't happen to you in real life, cause it could be a pain in the ass haha
Luckily for me, i crave for the company of books more than boys now lol
I would stay happily single for the rest of my poly days, cause im not ready to deal with all that crap that comes with relationships (refer to mantou and GC's r/s lol. Not that we would have the same problems, i highly doubt it, but still.)
"There's like a lot of other stuff waiting... sex marriage wedding..."
LOL when he said that to her, all i could think of was, "See, 他是以婚姻为前提的跟你交往" (he's seeing you with the possibility of marriage one day, or something along the lines of that)
But if a guy said that to me, i would freak out. LOL
Ahwell.
Weird right, the hopeless romantic not looking for love, but books hahahhaa
Well what can i say, 时机未到。(the time is not right)
