I'm The Beast
"I'm not impressed." He said and Kalina guessed the laughter in his words. "Still." She returned, trying to match his amusement and completely failing. That man had a knack for annoying her, that was for sure. ¿Why? Kalina didn't know for sure. She felt a little stupid about the discovery, but there was something else. Something attracted her to him, that was undeniable.
Absolution
"Hells! you look gorgeous!!"
Kalina let out another small laugh.
"Valian, seriously. Enough of that."
"From now on, you ought to hide your ears in public, Kal." Valian continued as he gave her a hug that would have suffocated a normal person. "I don't want anyone else to see you with these…"
"Oh, Valian, you're impossible!" She had to laugh again.
"I feel this irascible desire to monopolize you and make you only for my eyes. Kal, you look charming and irresistible…" Saying this he pulled her face closer and kissed her with such passion that Kalina thought they were going to catch on fire. "And this dress," He added as he moved up to her neck. "It's a sin…"
Kalina kissed him back. They had both had dinner once Valian finished piercing Kal's ears. He had used the same earrings to pierce her lobes. The process had been quick and practically painless.
