For a moment they were alone, as alone as they'd ever be and the tension between them was overwhelming. Star pulled her shaw around her thin shoulders tightly. She couldn't help but feel his intense gaze upon her. The second in command had been eyeing her for weeks now that she had become like them, one of the undead. David claimed that she was his, but Star could not deny her attraction to the mysterious raven-haired boy. David may have laid his immortal kiss upon her lips, but it was Dwayne's lips that she so longed to taste.

For days know they stared at each other when no one was looking. They touched each other gently on the hand, on the back, in whichever way they could without getting caught. There was no mistake that they wanted each other and now was the time to take advantage of the solitude.

"I- I, uh," Star stumbled over her words and blushed not knowing what to say.

Dwayne gazed at her, watching the ocean breeze blow through her dark curls. Slowly he walked to her side and brushed his thumb over her tender lips.

"Shh," he told her. "We don't have to talk."

Star's heart would've been pounding at this point if it were still beating. She couldn't take the agony of keeping her distance anymore. Every second his hands slid across her skin, Star felt as though she would burst.

Instantly, her arms were around him as they embraced in a forbidden kiss.
