Aoshi's heart pounds wildly.
He's pinned to the ground by Eliss, completely immobilized, her body pressed tightly against his.
"A-Aoshi… I tried to hold back… but… I can't anymore… forgive me…"
Eliss leans in — her lips just a breath away from his, so close Aoshi can feel her warm breath against his face.
"Aoshi… am I not attractive enough for you? Is that why you keep pushing me away…?"
"Y-You know that's not the reason… I've told you a thousand times — you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met. You're kind, smart, funny, caring — you have so many wonderful qualities it would take me all night to name them… and that's exactly why I'm fighting so damn hard not to lose control and do everything every cell in my body is screaming at me to do!"
"Tell me something, Aoshi. When you started dating that bitch, Miori, did you really think she was the woman you'd spend the rest of your life with?"
