He saw the love in her eyes. He felt it in her fingers that gently caressed his cheek. He wanted to lean into her touch. To grab her small body and pull her towards him. To hold her and feel her heart beat like his. To kiss her till his lungs gave out and she was his only air.
But he couldn't.
Instead he pushed her away.
"I'm a villain, sweetheart. We're made to destroy and to be destroyed." He hated the words that came out of his mouth. Hated the fact that they were said to push her away.
But he was a villain. That was a truth that couldn't be changed.
A truth that he didn't want to change.
She closed the distance he created between them. She grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him down until they were eye to eye. His eyes flickered to her lips before coming up to meet hers.
The fire in he eyes almost made him stumble. He had never seen such intensity in her eyes, and the minute he saw it, he knew he was a goner.
"Then set the world on fire. And I'll set on fire the ones that think they can bring you down. I'll let you destroy, my love. But I will not let you be destroyed."
