Artem

"Artem?" Star's voice had just broken the heated silence that had settled around us. My heart was racing and my breath was sawing in and out of my lungs.
"Star?" I felt the need, the desire that had built up in my body. I wanted her, but I wasn't going to make that mistake again.
"Artem, I-?" I don't know what Star was going to say, because before she could finish the question her stomach growled loudly. That was when it dawned on me that Star hadn't eaten before she left the house yesterday morning. And there was no way that stupid coward fed her while she was with him. She must have been starving.
What the hell had I been thinking? I should have let her kiss me innocently and then taken my leave. I shouldn't have gotten this worked up. I needed to keep it in my pants for right now. I needed to wait until she was ready. If I didn't, Chay and Doc might kill me.
