“..beautiful..?”
Unable to help the smirk that played over his lips, Hunter let her words hang in the air for a few moments, his free hand reaching out to take a gentle hold of her side, pulling her in closer against his body before he spoke again, a soft chuckle falling out through his lips, “..I woulda thought somethin’ more like handsome… or studly… but hey, I’ll take it…”
Blushing deeply as he pulled her against him, Cassandra was barely aware of Miranda at all, and didn’t even acknowledge her leaving, too… overwhelmed? Distracted, that was it. His words did nothing to help her regain any sense of composure, and she tried to at least form some sort of sentence, ”Well…. I… of course… beautiful still works though” still trying, and failing to at least sound articulate, she nevertheless tried. ”i mean… maybe gorgeous is a better word”. As she realised what she said, she wondered if she’d just keep going, or if something would stop her.
“..you’re pretty new to this stuff ain’t ya..?” Chuckling once more, he shook his head lightly from side to side, his eyes however, never once leaving hers as he continued to take in all that he could about her- damn, she was so fucking beautiful…
The backs of his fingers trailing a little further down her cheek, he dropped his hand, the tips of his fingers trailing lightly over her flesh as he reached around, cupping the back of her neck as he kept her close, his posture showing clearly that he wasn’t about to be letting her go anytime soon. It was ridiculous, right..? Feeling like this towards someone that he knew nothing about.
Pretty new seemed like an understatement, but Cassie just nodded, and said softly, never once considering that she shouldn’t say anything, ”Since last night… “ she leaned against him slightly, feeling like it was only natural to do so, but didn’t break eye contact, feeling like if she did, none of it would be real. Only after she’d spoken did she realise that that hadn’t been what he’d meant.
”oh… that wasn’t what you meant… “ She said almost hurriedly.
“..hey… it’s alright… don’t worry ‘bout it, little wolf…” Shooting a wink down in her direction, he smiled, his heart beating quickly within the confines of his chest- he had no idea what was going on anymore… this had to be something more than just sexual attraction. Like yeah, she was stunning… beyond stunning… in like, every way imaginable; but things like this didn’t just go and happen… there had to be more to i-...
..there was no way… it just wasn’t possible… right..?
The thought falling into the back of his mind as his attention was brought back down to her, his gaze flickering down to her lips for a moment before he leant in, closing the gap between them as he pressed his lips softly against hers, his eyes closing as he pulled her in, bringing her as close against him as he possibly could.
Whatever she was going to say next was lost as he kissed her, the softness to it seeming ever more intimate because of it. Her eyes closing, she returned the kiss, moving her arms around his neck, wanting to be as close to him as possible, feeling her heart beating fast, and that her chest wasn’t capable of containing it.
She didn’t want the kiss to end, it just felt so right, even as the rational side of her mind- small at the moment, truly overwhelmed by everything she was feeling,- knew that it wasn’t possible. She squashed that part, at least for the moment.
Could anything ever be as perfect as in that moment?
Fuck, there was nothing better than this- it was perfect… she was perfect… His hand sliding further around the back of her neck, Hunter held her gently in place, his lips pressing further into hers before eventually… reluctantly… he pulled back from her, his forehead resting softly against hers.
“..damn…”
Damn seemed to sum it up quite nicely, she thought as she opened her eyes once more meeting his gaze. ”Yeah… “ she said softly, not knowing what else to say, at least for the moment, She simply took everything in, her attention still fully focused on him. Content for the moment to just stay like they were, Cassie smiled, feeling… not happy… was there something beyond happy? She didn’t know. Whatever it was, she was sure it didn’t come close to describing this.
So, damn covered it.
She eventually said softly ”I’m Cassie, by the way”
“..Hunter…” Answering the unasked question before she even needed to voice it, Hunter let his thumb brush lightly back and forth over her side in a soothing manner, wanting her to be comfortable… to be happy… with him, “..names Hunter Evans…”
Satisfied with even that small amount of information, Cassie moved so she could lean against him, enjoying the contact. She gave a small, happy sigh, still feeling like it was just the two of them, that no one else was around.. Everything that had happened…. Didn’t seem so bad now, and she felt like she could face anything, so long as she had him. ”What is this?” she asked softly, keeping her gaze on his.
“..I got a hunch… not sure you’d believe me if I told ya though…” His hand breaking away from the back of her neck, he lifted it up, his touch gentle as he used the tips of his fingers to brush some stray strands off her face, neatly tucking them behind her ear as he shuffled the both of them out of the middle of the hall, stopping only once his back had hit the bare wall beside the vending machine.
“..you’re still new to this world… you got a lot ya gotta learn, but… there’s this thing that our kind can go through- it’s very rare… mostly cause the amount of people there are livin’ in the world makes it kinda impossible; but that’s not the point…” Keeping her body pressed up against his, Hunter paused a moment, forcing his mind to attempt to focus on explaining what he needed to before he spoke again, “..in a fairytale; every Princess finds her Prince, right..? True love- breaking the curse with a kiss, a sacrifice, a rose; whatever it might be in those Disney films my sister watches. For us… for our kind… it’s called imprinting… and it’s when we meet our one true mate- the one person we’re destined to spend the rest of our lives with…”
A small smile playing lightly over his lips, he once more brought his hand back to her cheek, his thumb brushing lightly back and forth over the skin just under her eye, “..everything we do; we do it for them… to see them smile; to make them happy… they become your reason for everything… even just waking up in the morning…”
Listening as he explained. Cassandra followed the basic theory if it- compared to everything that had happened, ‘Imprinting’ at least had some biological basis. And she was feeling particularly opened minded lately. Two days ago, she was just a normal girl, and now… she was a werewolf, with an angel for a father, and god knows what else was out there. And… what she was feeling... it was something else entirely.
Enjoying his gentle touch. It was hard not to get distracted, but she focused on his words as he finished, pondering them for a few seconds. “And you think that's what this is? Imprinting?” She asked softly, not wanting him to be mistaken, everything he described… she wanted.
“..I think so… yeah…” His hands both making their way to her hips, Hunter spoke softly, his thumbs brushing lightly back and forth over her sides.
Satisfied with the answer, she fell silent, letting her mind go through everything, ,but there wasn’t really a simple conclusion to anything… it was easier to simply accept it. In the end… she was more than happy right then. She finally looked away, back to the hospital room, wondering what was going to happen now, if she went back in there… She couldn't stay in the hallway, and surely the fact she hadn’t returned with Miranda would have been noticed, by now.
She looked back to Hunter, and decided that whatever happened, would be worth it.
