"Me too." He breathed out, sinking into her embrace. He buried his face in her hair and drew in a long, deep, lung-filling breath. "I never want to part from you again." He said, nuzzling past her hair to the bare skin of her neck. He placed gentle kisses along her throat and down the horizontal length of her collar bone. He pulled the blanket tighter around them, bringing her body close to his. Still naked beneath the blanket, he didn't care. He doubted anyone would be coming to the guildhouse tonight, and it would be safe for them.
With his magic reinvigorating him, Noah got to his feet. He pulled his fiancée with him, but swiftly tucked his arm behind her knees. He carried her upstairs, the blanket falling from his shoulders halfway. Once they reached one of the spare bedrooms the blanket wouldn't matter anyway, and in the comfort of her warmth and embrace Noah couldn't even feel the nip of the cold on his bare skin. Pushing the door to the room open, Noah moved Cordelia to the bed. Turning back after setting his lover down, Noah closed the door. He moved back to her and climbed into the bed.
Now, this may not be going where you expect --
Within moments of curling Cordelia in the curve of his body and wrapping his arms around her, the Sentinel was asleep.
FIN
Noah
the sentinel of the north
