Aurelia
as if you were on fire
from within
from within
She rises up into him to welcome the way he melts against her with shaky steadiness, until they're both sinking further into the bed, sinking into the kiss. Her mouth is tender and malleable as it immerses with his, the kiss itself expressing her contented love but the heart is hungry, and it's difficult not to let it get the best of her. A softer breath leaves her nose and her ribs relax with it as his hand presses into her hair and it steadies her. She can feel his own breath catching and she lets it punctuate their kiss; it's the only reason it would end.
She closes her eyes and tucks her cheeks in against his hands, happy to settle like this for a moment. They open with surprise when he tells her she's everything to him, and she's stunned into speechless silence as he lowers his face down to rest his forehead against hers. Her heart swells happily with the touch, into the moment, and she lets their breaths fall into a matching pace.
He buries his face into her neck, stubble scuffing gently against her, and her chest rises with a held-back laugh, turning to lean her cheek in against the top of his head. Her hands draw smooth lines over his back and sides, sometimes giving in to pulling him closer even though they're already so close.
"I'm sorry I doubted that," she sighs into his hair, closing her eyes and breathing in his sweet scent. "I love you, Milo," the declaration is quiet rather than loud, not meant to be yelled from rooftops over city streets. She certainly will shout her love for him from the fucking mountaintops one day... maybe very soon. But right now? It's meant only for his ears.
Her eyes open and her hands draw still around him. "I'm starting to think everything that happened to me was meant to... lead me here. So that I could find you. Or is that crazy?" She tilts her head back to try and look at him, smiling gently.
