Silver Moonlight

He promised they would see the world together, and if her heart wasn’t beating fast against her chest before it really was now. Lil was easily swept up into Roman’s soft silvery gaze as the moonlight poured onto them. She felt a similar warmth from earlier spread over her skin, but this was much more welcome and fitting in the cool night. The blush that overtook her features warmed the whole of her slowly, not like the crazy fire she’d felt in bed. It was cozy and inviting. She looked to Roman for assurance, unwilling to believe his words as he spoke at first, but again he assured her as his paw stroked her cheek gently.

The way he looked at her, the deep emotions she could see swirling on his liquidsilver gaze, was all the truth she needed. He really thought she was amazing, a normal, or less than normal girl who hadn’t even swam in the ocean before him. Roman went on to prove what she said as he carefully tipped her jaw, and brought their noses to nearly touching. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her lips as he spoke, just barely audible over the thundering of her heart in her ears. His slow pausing motioned helped to keep her at ease. Her heart pounded against her chest but her breathing came easily. The warmth that spread from where he touched her was not unbearable like before.

Roman asked to kiss her, using her full name and speaking quietly, only for her. He promised to keep at her pace. Lilith grinned, her lidded garnet gaze lingering on his silver eyes. "Yes, Romulus Armada, you can kiss me.” She told him just as quietly as a thrill raced down her spine. Not only from the excitement of kissing this handsome boy, but also the danger of doing so beneath her father’s nose. Her heart fluttered as much as her belly did, but with his careful advances Lillith kept control and cool.
