"I feel...I feel like my whole body is... in flames.." He said to you in a low vulnerable voice that was almost whisper.

"Will you burn for me then?" You replied, as your hand delicately interlocked with his.

A feeling of shock and fear shot through him in that moment. His breath sped up, his body tensed. He nodded slowly, his heart racing.

"If I burn for you, will you not let me go? ... will you hold me until we go down in flames?" He whispered, as he looked deep into your eyes, searching for security, feeling the most vulnerable he had felt in his life.

"Till ashes, to diamonds...I will burn with you" you replied, as your other hand snaked along his chest, then up to his neck, and your fingers then coiled around his tie. This felt as if a snake were ensnaring him. His eyes were locked on yours, he could see a fire in them as he felt his body heat up ever more so.

"Yes... Till ashes... to diamonds... I will burn with you, whatever you wish... you can have me..." he spoke breathlessly, his heart feeling like it could pound right out of his chest.
