Chapter 15

Colm

“I do not want to hurt you.” I repeat the words and I am unsure if they are for her benefit, or my own. Now the rage is leaving my body, I do not think I have ever hated myself more than I do right now.

I have killed thousands of creatures and beings in my long life. I have never thought twice about it. But the thought of laying even a finger on this scared and defenceless little thing beneath me… it disgusts me.

And the worst part is I can not even think about it for too long, because my thoughts will only lead to one place. The Plaigh. The reason I am the way I am. The reason Sophia is here, instead of living her life on Earth. Lingering on those thoughts for too long would just make the rage return.

“Then don’t,” she whispers with a sniff. “Stay as you are. Stay human.”

I shake my head with a sigh and move back just an inch. Enough to give her some space to breathe, but not enough that I miss her soft body pressed up against my own hard one.

I am toying with how best to explain it to her, or if I should even explain at all. But even now her fear is not as potent, her breath is not quite so pained. Maybe… maybe she will understand. “I try to. When I am not already in that… state, I do not anger so easily. I am well practiced in controlling my rage. What I am not well versed in is controlling… other emotions.”

“What do you mean, other emotions?”

“I mean the emotions a husband has for his wife under any normal circumstances. The Plaigh told us the same hormones which trigger the change for war, also trigger the change for…” I let my words trail off because I feel her body tensing up again.

My fingers are tracing her neck now and I feel her muscles contract as she swallows before she speaks. I had not considered how sharp they must feel against her soft skin. “You mean when we do it, you’ll be like that?”

“Aye.”

I’m waiting for her to lose it again. Waiting for the panic to set in… for her to fight, or flee. But it does not come. There is just a small sigh escaping her lips, reminding me they are there. Reminding me how they tasted earlier this morning, when I was full of more hope than I am right now.

“Do you know how it felt for me? To kiss your lips? To feel that which I have not for so long?”

I tilt her head up again, trying to sense how she is feeling. Her pulse under my fingers is quick and heavy. But is it fear, or something else? Does she feel even a fraction of what I feel when I look at those malachite eyes?

“I do not think you can even begin to understand it.”

I lean down, taking in the scent of her hair.
