For the most part, Danika was an outgoing, effervescent girl. Yet she spent more time acquainting herself with books and long-dead scientists than actual people. Dating was secondary, maybe tertiary, priorities for her. Maybe it was because nobody ever really riled the cause higher on the list. Until now.
She was nervous the whole drive. The anxiety only heightened when Marcus walked alongside. Then when she turned and looked at him, she knew it wasn't to say goodnight. It was like a movie and she was floating overhead watching someone else from above.
His kiss was respectful and exploratory. She melted like a wax candle, though. Snaking an arm around the back of his neck while the other rested against the broadness of his chest.
He was passionate and fearless. Alive and powerful. She'd never realized how completely spell-binding the combination could be. Maybe because she'd never met someone who was all those things at once. Yet for some reason, his passions were for her. It just boggled Danika's mind.
Her heart beat flip-flopped in a way she knew to be biologically impossible. The same way that time seemed to both slow to a crawl and pass too quickly - a quirk of the universe that was also impossible (outside of a black hole). Tricks of the mind. Neurotransmitters congregating soupy in her limbic brain.
She didn't want it to stop. When she finally pulled away, it was only to look into his eyes. "Do you want to?" A shoulder dipped, "stay?"
