don't let me go

Cordelia

She knew it wasn't a proposal. Not in the traditional sense. Not when she knew Noah would be the type to do it properly. To ask her father for her hand, to have one of the craftsmen make her a ring that was suitable for Halo's climate, to plan a ceremony. He would do it all. At least, she believed he would if there wasn't a war on the horizon. If they were still in Halo. If everything wasn't so new. So no, it isn't a proper proposal, but it felt like one. It made a warmth spread through her chest and she sighed at his words, letting her head tilt to the side, exposing her throat further to his lips. "Is that a promise?" Cordelia purred, fingers curling at his shoulders, pressing into the firm muscle beneath them as her nails surely left little crescents in his skin.

Her breath left her in a rush, goosebumps rising along her flesh despite the warmth of the water and the heat of his body, eyes fluttering closed as his teeth tugged at the sensitive skin of her ear. What she wouldn't give to press into his mind right now and feed him her thoughts, but she's limited in her ability to share anything outside of her emotions. Instead she can do nothing but properly speak. With her actions and her words. Her hips cant forward, pressing closer to him, body arching invitingly to encourage his current actions. "I want you." She whispered, drawing her head back just enough to force her eyes open, amber meeting glacier as she waited.

All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
