Interlude II: Love at First Sight, Love Everlasting Drabble 1

The moment that Scorpina realized that this hit was a completely and totally a failure was the same moment she realized that she was completely and totally in love.

And she had no idea how in hell that had managed to happen.

Marcus Swoop was many things she had come to realize. He was kind and sweet, quiet and strong. The man was also smug and impatient. And for some bizarre reason Scorpina loved him for it.

This man was also completely obvious to the fact that she had been sent to kill him.

Just how screwed up was that?

She had played damsel in distress and he had played the white knight. Acting helpless wasn’t a problem; it helped that she looked delicate enough to almost break. Some sleazy guy played his part in all this. He got too close and too persistent. Scorpina barely stopped herself from breaking the creep’s hand when he grabbed her arm.

Then Marcus made his entrance in all black coated glory. He ‘saved’ her from the mean man who wanted to hurt her.

This was also the first (and only) time that she let her mark kiss her.

Scorpina knew this wasn’t right, deceiving him like this. But was it so wrong to want to be normal once in a while?

So she merely smiled at him, pulling him down for a kiss. It was sweet and innocent; as if he was afraid he was going to scare her. Scorpina slid her hand through his hair and pulled back. For a moment she thought he was going to say something.

But he just grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. He wasn’t trying to grab or restrain her. All Marcus was doing was holding on.

Holding on was good. Scorpina could work with that.
