Aria
My breath hitched as he leans so close, his breath is fanning my hair.
"Am I permitted?" He places a soft kiss on my neck.
I part my lips slightly, as my head blank out. I just do not know what to say, it is as if all my thoughts has been washed off, and I can not say anything.
"Aria? Are you okay?"
He pulls back to look at me.
An image of Archi flashes before my eyes. I shake my head quickly, "Oh, yes, I am fine," I swallow hard.
He looks at me, his eyes laced with concern, "You suddenly went stiff," he holds my shoulders, "You fo not want me to do this?"
"I--" the words stop coming out, I am tongue-tied.
"Hm?"
What is wrong with me all of a sudden?
I tilt my head to the side to see Archi standing at the door, shaking his head in disapproval.
My eyes widen, and my heart drops to my stomach, "I can explain!" I stretch out my hand towards the door.
"What are you explaining?" Ryder's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.
