So I approached her with every intent that no matter what, I’d make her realize we were meant to be in each other’s life. We spoke for hours, nestled in the corner in our own world.It was perfection, and the first time I ever felt complete.And then I kissed her, that age old tradition when the clock struck midnight on New Year’s. I didn’t expect her to wrap herself around me. I didn’t expect her to whisper for me to take her home.But what Daisy didn’t know was that she’d awoken something in me that I didn’t know was dead. She was the first woman to make my heart start beating, to make me fall in love. It was fast, instantaneous. It was the feeling a man got when he bonded with a woman, when his soul imprinted on hers.I was possessive, territorial. No one would tell me it was too fast. Not when nothing had ever felt more right.At the end of the night, until the end of the world, Daisy would know without a doubt that she was mine and mine alone.Lena’s note: I know you like them fast and right to the point so don’t worry, this one gives you all the goods but with a healthy dose of romance thrown in.
