can't know if you don't go

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed

It was easier to focus if Liam didn't look at Maea. He studied their surroundings instead, noting the various stone fixtures and decided lack of lilies. It was almost enough to forget that they were alone, in what some might consider a romantic location, in a certain state of undress. Almost enough to ignore that Maea was a beautiful woman, and someone that Liam was growing quite fond of quite quickly - a dangerous combination, indeed.

Maea ducked under the water, and Liam's eyes flickered to her figure beneath the rippling surface of the water. When she rose back to take in a breath, he found somewhere else to look. "The colors were the main thing," he explained, thinking back. Gods, but it had been so long ago, and he hadn't known then how important such a flower would be, or he'd have striven to keep it. "But there was also this... feeling. Like it was something precious." He shook his head ruefully. "Or maybe I imagined it, and it really was just the gold. You don't see a lot of pure gold in nature, I've found."

Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary; they can only do harm
