something i must live with

In that heartbeat of silence after the words left her lips, a pang of fear hit her, a worry that she had finally gone too far. She heard and felt Siren gasp at the declaration, at her finally admitting the feelings that she had been hiding for so long. She loved her. Seconds felt like hours while she waited for Siren's reaction, but as soon as those words she thought she would never hear left her lady's lips any worry she might have had was wiped away. She looked down at this delicate, beautiful woman that she loved in absolute shock and awe and for a moment she was too stunned to move or speak or even breathe. I love you, Dalila. Never in a million years would she have expected to be loved by anyone, much less someone like Siren. At least now the lengths she had gone to in order to save her from Chimera made sense. Knowing that Siren loved her helped it make sense.

A shaky sigh passed her lips as she tightened her embrace around Siren, tears of joy spilling down her cheeks as she kissed her lady's ears again, her over joyed affections drifting across her head and cheeks and neck, holding her tight and lovingly and pouring every pent up emotion into these kisses that she possibly could. She didn't really understand sexual desire and had never wanted it or considered it for herself, but she understood love. She understood wanting this woman that had pulled her up from the depths of the darkest things life had to offer to know how much she loved her and make her feel like the most precious, treasured jewel. She understood wanting to worship this beautiful, delicate form that held the most kind soul the world had ever witnessed.

"I love you... I love you..." she whispered against Siren's skin again and again as she left gentle kisses all across her head and neck, one of her paws combing through her long, luxurious fur as she worked her way all the way down to the top of her chest. Nothing could ruin this moment. Nothing else mattered. She would fight the world to keep Siren safe and keep her in her life. She loved Siren and Siren loved her. Everything else paled in comparison. She lifted her muzzle back to Siren's after she left a tender kiss right at the bottom of her throat, her heavy lidded eyes catching Siren's for a moment before she leaned forward caught her lady's lips in their first real kiss, the feeling blowing her away and making her eyes close and one of her paws delicately cup Siren's cheek.

"Dalila"
