Aurelia
as if you were on fire
from within
from within
Her gaze follows his face as he rolls over and pulls her closer, until she lets out a little hum of approval when he presses his lips in on her neck and chest. It's a balm against her hot skin, against the stress of their argument earlier, against the worry that had clouded her own judgement. He makes all of that feel so far away, so unnecessary.
Aurelia welcomes him in against her with a hand that brushes lightly through his hair, hoping to offer him the same soothing comfort, wanting to keep all of that off of his shoulders too. She's sorry she ever burdened him with it, to overshadow his brightness with it.
She meets his eyes almost greedily as he hoists himself up on his elbow, leaning over her. She can feel the laugh rumble through his ribs and shake his shoulders, and her thumb sweeps over the stubble on his cheek. She can't help but to be the one to smirk now, "Then it's a promise."
Her smile shrinks, growing more serious as she peers up at him, focusing intently on the light that seems to return to his features. Suddenly she pushes herself up to him, arching her back and maneuvering her legs so their bodies can enfold again. A sharp breath sucks in through her teeth. He feels so.. right. "And so is this," she murmurs, breath warm against his lips. Her eyes hover over his for just a moment's pause before she gives him a luscious kiss, letting it last as long as it can.
