"Taken: The Ytinu Srebas" one scene that was created by a song

When I was writing about the music that had a huge influence in the writing of "Taken", I mentioned a couple of scenes/songs. So I'd like to share one of them today.

First is "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS.  If you're not familiar with the song click on "Never Tear Us Apart" for the link to it. Or click on it as you read the scene below. 😉

So here's the scene:

“He turned to me as the music faded into a new song, and his eyes locked onto mine. They were a brilliant blue that emanated strength, and I knew I’d be safe with him.

I wasn’t sure if it was the music or him, but I could feel my desire rising. He put his hand on my hip, not touching my bare skin, and we began moving with the rhythm of the music. I felt his other hand move down my body without ever touching me. We moved as one. There was no uncomfortable closeness or awkward motions, causing me to feel like we had done this before.

His hand slowly moved into my hair and he bent me back. His breath caressed my neck as he bent over me, and I closed my eyes. I could picture his blue eyes looking into mine, his worried smile. He rolled my torso up close to him again.

My body was craving his, it was overwhelming. I wanted to be so much closer. I breathed him in. I knew him, but it was only a dream… wasn’t it? Suddenly it didn’t matter, and I opened my eyes. He was leaning in close and I lost my train of thought completely. He was all that existed. 

My hands moved across his broad shoulders, one hand went to the back of his neck the other touched the side of his face. I could feel a strong sensation coursing through my entire body, I felt the need to have him closer. His eyes stared into mine, and I could feel what felt like agony. I felt it so strongly that there were tears brimming my eyes. His lips pressed against the palm of my hand, releasing the most amazing sensation I had felt since I woke up. I knew that he wanted only to be with me, and that… 

“I will keep you safe,” he whispered in a voice that was all too familiar. 

Tears were sliding down my cheeks, everything about me needed him. His face moved within inches of mine, his eyes were so blue I thought that they were glowing. He brushed his lips against mine, and I closed my eyes to the sensation that set my soul on fire. I felt him regretfully pull away.”

Now I don't know if you can feel it like I do, (I hope you can) because still to this day, when that song plays this scene is ignited as though it was my memory instead of something I created for a story.
