Maybe a hero
KillerQueen86
The amber liquid went down his throat, intoxicating his senses, at that moment he really needed it. He still felt stunned by what had just happened: Emma had kissed him, there in the middle of Neverland, after he had saved her father's life.
For the first time, Emma had lowered her defenses, had allowed him to get closer.
He had played with her from the day they met, when he realized what she was made of, that she wasn't like all the others. He wanted to have her, to make her his, to tear down those walls she had erected to keep everyone away, he had been willing to put aside her personal revenge, only for her.
But now, that kiss changed everything: the cards on the table were damn different, that kiss had turned out to be more dangerous than he could ever have imagined.
For the first time in centuries something was feeding his heart, and it was neither revenge or pain. Until that moment he had survived thanks to a fire fueled by pain and hatred, no woman could even get close to his Milah, but Emma Swan had changed everything.
After a long time, Emma had awakened a part of herself in him, she had awakened the good and brave Killian Jones, the man and not the pirate. Now he was ready for anything for her, even being a better man, maybe even a hero.
