**Before Sunrise Touches Earth We Forgive What Hurt Us by Vik Rowan Tate**
Her reactions were nothing short of mesmerizing, each one sending my mind spiraling into a frenzy of emotions I had never thought possible. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, I hadn’t anticipated unleashing such a torrent of feelings, but as my words spilled forth and I watched her response, all I could think about was how much I yearned to draw her close, to feel the warmth and intensity radiating from her very being.
She was driving me absolutely insane.
In my twenty-five years of existence, I had never craved a woman in such a profound way. And the way she resisted me only intensified my desire, making it maddeningly intoxicating, a heady mix of frustration and longing.
“It’s… That’s…” she stammered, her cheeks blooming a deep shade of crimson as she averted her gaze, fixating instead on my collar, avoiding the heat of my eyes. It was fascinating to witness how her demeanor shifted, the subtle nuances of her expression transforming when she felt flattered or cornered.
“It’s too early for this, Axel,” she protested, her voice half-hearted, yet I could detect the thrill woven into her words.
With a tender touch, I lifted her chin with my finger, guiding her gaze to meet mine. “It’s never too early to get freaky, sweetheart,” I replied, my voice low and teasing, the playful challenge hanging in the air between us.
Before I could second-guess myself, I leaned in and kissed her—damn it, the urge was irresistible. The softness of her lips against mine was intoxicating, and I found myself lost in the unique taste that was entirely… Rosette. She responded with a soft gasp, drawing me deeper into the kiss, her reaction igniting a fire within me.
I had intended to take things slow, but she craved intensity, and who was I to deny her that? I tangled my fingers in her hair, tilting her head slightly to deepen the kiss, my tongue seeking hers. Our tongues danced together, twisting and curling in perfect harmony, as if we were two lovers discovering the intricacies of each other’s language for the very first time.
In all my years, I had never experienced a kiss like this. Never.
You could label me a man-whore—I had my share of fleeting encounters—but this was different. This was a kiss that stole my breath, leaving me gasping for more.
Eventually, we broke apart, both of us panting for air, and in that moment, I had never resented the necessity of breathing more than I did. Rosette rested her head against my shoulder, her breath heavy, and for reasons I couldn’t quite comprehend, it made my heart tighten in my chest.
“What’d you say, princess?” I asked softly, my voice hoarse as I stroked her hair gently. “Wanna get freaky?”
She paused, contemplating, before finally shaking her head. “I want to… go somewhere.”
“Where? Just tell me. I’ll take you anywhere you want.” The fervor in my voice surprised even me, the sincerity of my offer hanging between us.
Addiction. Obsession. These feelings were perilous for someone like me because when I felt something, I felt it to the extreme. I indulged in them, often to my own detriment. That’s why I steered clear of relationships; women had a knack for exploiting the vulnerabilities I laid bare.
“I don’t know,” Rosette replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t really go out much.”
I nodded, placing a gentle kiss on her hair before pulling away, but we both froze in that moment—my eyes widened in surprise as Rosette looked at me with a mix of shock and confusion.
Why did I just kiss her hair?
This connection between us was purely physical, just lust—nothing less, nothing more. I cleared my throat, forcing myself to focus on the road ahead as I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.
“Seat belt on,” I instructed, trying to keep my tone casual.
Nothing else. Nothing more.
***
Our first stop was a diner, since neither of us had eaten before leaving the house. We placed our orders, and an uncomfortable silence enveloped us, thick with unspoken tension. I wrestled with the chaotic emotions swirling in my mind while Rosette seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.
I had to spread my legs wide to fit my long frame in the cramped booth. It was in that moment of awkwardness that my leg brushed against hers, causing both of us to tense up. Rosette froze, a fry hovering halfway to her mouth, and I felt a rush of heat creep up my neck.
This was excruciatingly awkward. I wanted to choke on my food if it meant dissolving the unbearable tension.
“Why are we being awkward right now?” Rosette asked, her brow furrowing in genuine confusion.
I scoffed, rubbing the back of my neck in frustration. “Just finish your food.”
After what felt like the most excruciating breakfast of my life, we finally left the diner, and I decided to take her to an escape room. It quickly became clear that if Rosette were trapped in a real escape room, she would be dead in seconds. Following that, we headed to the movies.
“Are we on a date or something?” she asked, her tone playful as she grabbed a handful of popcorn while I picked up the drinks, walking into the theater.
I shrugged nonchalantly. “You asked to go out, sweetheart, and this is out. So why complain?”
She rolled her eyes, but I noticed the corners of her lips twitching upward as we settled into our seats. She might have acted tough, pretending not to enjoy any of this, but I had been watching her all day. The way her lips curled into a half-smile, the way she stifled her laughter, and how the tension in her shoulders slowly eased. The lines in her face softened.
She was having fun, but it wouldn’t be Rosette if she admitted that.
Halfway through the movie, an inexplicable urge to hold her hand surged within me. I turned slowly to look at her, and she was completely absorbed in the film, her bottom lip caught between her teeth, both hands gripping the popcorn tightly.
I sighed, turning my gaze back to the screen, resting my chin on my fist. Now I was actually feeling jealous of a damn movie for stealing her attention.
Great, Axel, you’ve officially lost it.
After the movie ended, the day was drawing to a close, and I finally drove us to the location I had been waiting to reveal—just in time for sunset.
We drove for nearly an hour in silence, but Rosette seemed relaxed, her frown replaced with a calm expression. Progress.
Good job, me.
When we arrived at our destination, I parked the car and stepped out to open her door. To my surprise, she waited for me instead of simply jumping out like she usually did.
“You’re a quick learner,” I teased as I opened the door for her, and she stepped out.
“And you’re persistent,” she shot back, a playful glint in her eyes.
“I prefer a gentleman,” I replied, smirking.
She rolled her eyes but smiled—a genuine smile, not just a fleeting one. It was small but sincere, and I found myself momentarily mesmerized. I quickly turned away, not wanting to make her self-conscious as we walked toward the beach.
As we strolled side by side, my hands itched to reach out and take hers, but I resisted the urge, shoving my hands deep into my pockets instead.
“What is this place?” she asked as we kicked off our shoes.
“My secret spot,” I replied, a hint of pride in my voice.
She shot me a skeptical look. “Your secret spot is a whole beach?”
I nodded, a grin spreading across my face. “Uh-huh.”
She glanced back at the vast expanse of sand and water. “How come it’s empty?”
“I bought it,” I said with a hint of mischief.
She scoffed, clearly unimpressed. “Of course you did.”
We stopped at the water’s edge, our feet sinking into the cool sand as the waves lapped at our ankles. We had just arrived in time to witness the sun dip below the horizon.
It was breathtaking. Absolutely stunning, and the reason I had invested in this place.
The setting sun cast an orange hue over the ocean, bathing it in an ethereal glow. As the sun sank lower, it resembled a golden yolk resting on the edge of the water.
“It’s beautiful,” Rosette whispered, her eyes wide with wonder.
I turned to look at her, and my heart raced against my chest. Her hair flowed freely in the wind, illuminated by the sun’s rays, giving it an almost magical quality.
The sight of her and the beauty of the moment felt surreal, as if I were living in a dream.
“How’d—” Rosette began, turning to face me, but when she noticed my gaze lingering on her, the words caught in her throat. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
I couldn’t find the words; I could only stare. Then, without thinking, my feet moved, and my hands reached out. I grasped her waist, pulling her closer, and my lips crashed against hers.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the beach, the air was thick with unspoken emotions. My heart raced as I pulled Rosette closer, our lips meeting in a fervent kiss that spoke of longing and vulnerability. In that moment, the chaotic whirlwind of feelings that had consumed us both began to settle. The intoxicating mix of desire and fear transformed into a blossoming connection, one that neither of us had anticipated. It was a kiss that transcended mere physical attraction, a promise of something deeper, something real. As we broke apart, breathless and wide-eyed, the tension that had once filled the air was replaced by a newfound understanding—a realization that perhaps we were both ready to embrace the risks of love.
Standing there, with the ocean waves crashing gently at our feet and the last rays of sunlight illuminating the space between us, we found solace in each other’s presence. The weight of our pasts, the fears that had held us back, began to lift, replaced by a sense of hope and possibility. We were no longer just two individuals navigating our chaotic lives; we were partners on the cusp of something beautiful. As we exchanged shy glances and tentative smiles, it became clear that this moment marked the beginning of a journey—one where forgiveness for past hurts was not only possible but essential. With our hearts open and vulnerable, we took the first step toward a future filled with promise, ready to explore the depths of our connection before sunrise touched the earth.
