SilverflintDOW 10.1.18: Villain, Water, Book

The
kiss came unexpected, soft on Silver’s lips, an admission of things
long unspoken.

Silver
stepped away, shivering. “These are dangerous waters, Captain.”

“Are
you afraid?” Flint murmured, standing stock still.

Silver nodded.

A
sad sort of resignation wrote itself all over Flint’s face, clearer
than if it were ink on the pages of a book. “Am I still a villain
to you, then?”

The
question was jarring, unthinkable. Heart galloping, Silver moved back
into Flint’s space. His thumb traced the curve of Flint’s cheek, the
crease of his mouth.

“You
never were.” Silver pulled Flint closer, embracing the danger.
