Until There Is No Anything

He was able to smile, he felt relaxed, he was wholly focused on the feeling of her tongue and teeth at his fur. They were so close and she was so warm he couldn’t believe she only offered the actions because of her job. Her reaction to his return of affection answered any of those questions. Roan almost stopped but she leaned against him and he felt a sudden rush of blood, suddenly aware of the heavy beating of his heart and how hot his fur really was. He didn’t know what raced through her mind but his own was running what felt to be a mile a minute. Yesterday he didn’t have a future and suddenly all he wanted was Iolaire.

He might have gotten lost running through her silver and black fur when she pulled away from him. He found her vibrant golden green gaze with his emerald eyes as his name fell from her lips. Iolaire leaned forward and again surprised him into stupor as her lips touched his. He inhaled sharply, but recovered quickly enough to melt against her.

Roan didn’t make decisions hastily, there was always a plan in place. Though even the most well thought plan didn’t go as intended. As the few days prior proved true. Those thoughts were far and away from the silver marked titan. Iolaire filled his gaze and filled his mind. Despite the speed of the fall Roan embraced it and kissed her back. Io was suddenly a brightness in the bleak path Roan’s life took. She offered and he would accept. ”Io,” he returned her name quietly in his deep tones as he shifted and nuzzled against her ear. This was sudden and nerve wracking but he didn’t want anything else. Iolaire had bared her heart and her past to him he couldn’t deny their connection.

”If you let me hold you, I won't let go.” He warned her as he debated how he’d manage to grab her with his healing shoulder. The last man she trusted had betrayed her, he wouldn’t allow that to ever happen again.
