My breath hitches in my throat,
As fingers gently stroke my face.
Something stirs within me,
As I melt in his embrace.
Shy reservations begin to disappear,
It's hard to resist those eyes.
That stare that hazes my thoughts,
And causes many emotions to rise.
The possibilities flit behind closed lids,
As unhesitating lips claim mine as their own.
Arms wrap around me tighter,
Making me shiver right down to the bone.
Euphoria washes over me,
Every nerve ending a live wire.
Somehow I don't think I'll mind,
Being consumed by passion's fire.
Alec hadn't been a newborn in so long; he forgot how insatiable their hunger truly was. Throughout the night Aiyanna took as many "unmentionables" as she could. She barely spoke to him other than asking for him to lead her to more victims. He was beginning to miss Aiyanna's humanity, but he kept reminding himself that she wanted this and so did he. As soon as her newborn phase was complete, he would have her all to himself.
As daylight approached, Alec tried to pull her off her latest victim. "No," Aiyanna growled as she flung Alec effortlessly over her body.
"I forgot about the strength, too," Alec mumbled before continuing louder, "A

I have kept the bridle on too long,
My voice is raspy and gnarled with un-use.
Words used to spill like a fountain overrun,
How long will it take for my tongue to unloose.
Others pleasure and comfort,
Has always been my only goal.
even if my pain was the cost,
I'd more than gladly pay the toll.
Who deemed me so unworthy,
Of thought, opinion, and attraction?
These chains make me bruise and bleed,
There must be change - I must take action!
For so long I've fought for others,
While my heart and soul were battered.
Wounds deep and festering now,
Beneath this pain, I'm totally shattered.
I am locked away,
Yet I alone hold the key.
Happy in a life now familiar,
Content with duties mundane.
Keeping the wind at my back,
Sun in my face, accepting joy and pain.
No matter what life throws,
Tried to take everything in stride.
Past pains forgiven, but not forgotten,
No longer afraid, no longer trying to hide.
Peaceful as a dove,
Resting in Almighty strength.
Ready to fight when needed,
But willing to keep harm at arm's length.
Then comes the unexpected,
A love that sets heart ablaze.
With new strength I soar higher,
Each day longing for his praise.
Like Icarus, too close to the sun I rose,
Not heeding words of the wiser kind.
Those who could see what I could
