For YOU, My Heart Beats

"Here, open up" Adelio commanded, and I instantly complied.
I had given up fighting to get off his lap and fighting against him spoon-feeding me. The sooner I stopped struggling, the sooner I got to eat and receive my answers, so I just let myself go.
He was cradling me gently as he spoon-fed me. His hands were running up and down my back, and sometimes he would comb through my hair and play with my chestnut curls. He was constantly touching me, and breathing me in, almost as if he was trying to confirm I was real.
The food and the warmth from Adelio's arms were comforting and made me feel at peace, it felt weird to not be washing dishes or scrubbing the palace floors at this time of the day.
I had eaten about two plates of food; I was on my third one and I still didn't feel full. I was a foodie before, but never had I felt like my stomach was a bottomless pit.
"I swear your smell is the only pleasant one in this human realm," Adelio said, nuzzling his head into my neck and placing a kiss by my ear. I hummed in response, as I involuntarily tilted my head sideways for more of his feel.
I wonder what I smelled like to him. It was for a fact that I hadn't showered in at least a day now, but the way he just kept breathing and licking me made me feel lovely and fresh.
My curiosity got the better of me, and I let the question roll out.
"What do I smell like to you?" I asked, while chewing on a slice of apple.
"You smell like my very own paradise, better than the fucking heavens," he said, placing another kiss on my neck.
I let out a feat of coughs, almost choking on my apple. I swear this man was really coquettish. He rubbed circles on my back to ease my coughs as if he wasn't the cause of them in the first place.
Okay, he answered my first question, even if his reply was cheesy. Let's try another one.
"What type of magic are you using on me?" I asked.
"Magic?" he questioned me
"Yes, magic. You know, the one you used to make tingles crawl on my skin. The one that throws my head into a daze and makes me docile like a kitty"
Adelio let out a low, rumbling laughter. "Darling, if there's anyone under a spell here, it's me."
"Huh?" I blinked.
He brought his forehead to meet mine, and I sucked in a breath. "If only you knew. The way your gorgeous face restrains my eyes so that it looks at nothing else, the way your hazel eyes set my soul ablaze, yet render my heart at peace. The way your touch stirs up all types of chaos within me."
His pupils turned blue as he closed them and prodded my head a little. "I am truly the one that has fallen victim to your spell."
My ears were starting to tingle a little.
His words held a torrent of emotions in them, so much so that they were frightening. I couldn't understand why anyone would feel this way about me, how they could feel this way about me. I had just met him. There was no way he fell in love with me at first sight. There just isn't anything in me that could make a person this hooked, to the point they believed they were hexed.
My mouth was heavy as I slowly opened them to ask the most pressing question that had been on my mind. "But why? Why do you feel this way about me? What am I to you?" I asked.
Adelio moved his head from mine, so he was looking straight into my eyes. His hard gaze grew serious. "To me, you are the missing piece of my incomplete soul, the quench to my thirst, the fill to my void. You are my very sustenance, El. You are my mate"
