He put his hands on her imperfect throat and lifted her imperfect chin and bent his head to her flawed and trembling lips. He kissed her. And she fell in love. Helplessly; hopelessly- a consummate disaster. She felt it happen while his mouth came against hers and his gloved fingers pressed into the tender skin behind her earlobes. It was something physical, a tangible wound, a terrible rent in the fabric of her life, as if her whole self had been torn from her body and replaced by something else entirely. Something that belonged not to her but to him. To her horror, that new, helpless, slavish self answered the kiss. She parted her lips beneath the pressure of his. Her fingers gave up their vehement hold on each other; they slid part and flattened against his chest, opening and closing like a cat's paw. A little aching sound came from her throat. His hold slackened for an instant. Only an instant, and before Olympia could break away, his hands slid forward and locked together behind her nape. The warm rush of his breath touched her skin: uneven and quick as he kissed her eyes and forehead and the corners of her lips. \"Princess,\" he whispered. \"My silly princess...\" She cast down her lashes. It was impossible to look at him- unbearable. A whimper of miserable joy hung in the back of her throat.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Laura Kinsale" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/laura-kinsale/in-the-silence-that-roared-in-her-ears-he-moved-closer-he-put-his/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/678/laura-kinsale-19646_gaze_in-the-silence-that-roared-in-her-ears-h_2679461.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/678/laura-kinsale-19646_gaze_in-the-silence-that-roared-in-her-ears-h_2679461.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/678/laura-kinsale-19646_gaze_in-the-silence-that-roared-in-her-ears-h_2679461.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“In the silence that roared in her ears he moved closer.
