Wrap your teeth around the pavement

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." She closed her eyes. The attention he showered over her neck, the little nips and kisses, made her head spin. The burn in her limbs grew steadily more intense, the soft rumble of his voice so close - so deep - sent a shiver down her spine. "I mean... Be with you. By... by your side." Color had begun to spread over her cheeks, and it intensified now. The usual bold blush, brought on by equally bold words. It was only her voice that stumbled a little, made unsteady by his hands, his mouth, his... recent explanation that he did not want to be bound to anyone. But Maea offered the opposite. Asked, timidly, for the chance to walk with him. Down his path, wherever it led. If he wanted her there.
