“Sebastian,” I rasped, pushed right up to the edge. A precipice. His mouth came to my ear. “Do you see me?” Yes. Maybe not all of him. But every piece that was important. And I fell. Plunged into his abyss. Heart first. Through waves of ecstasy. Deeper. Deeper. To where I touched a sea of stars that blinded my eyes, where I floated in that place that belonged only to us, a place that didn’t belong to this world. Where darkness and light reigned and wrong or right had no bearing. A brutal ecstasy. I never wanted it to end.
