all i've ever wanted

This was where she wanted to be for the rest of her life, tangled up in him. The vision of what she had yearned for. She could feel his need to keep hold of her as strongly as her desire to stay against him. He followed her easily where she wished to go, and the two of them moved in sync, just as they had during breathtaking moments before. The liquid burned slightly as it coated her throat and burned in her belly nearly as hot as the desire she had for him. But she was taken by surprise by the glint in his eye and the toast on his lips. She wanted to believe he spoke of her, her heart wanted it so badly, but she was no longer Empress anymore.

”And the Warlord,” she said in return with a grin playing on her lips as she aimed to press them to his cheek as he drank. She didn’t know what true happiness was until tonight, and though both of them were beaten and broken from a life full of loss and regret they could be complete together. Their broken pieces fit together in a perfect picture.
