Bedazzled No More

She couldn’t have known the day they met that Roman would become such an important part of her life. He was irreplaceable and she didn’t want anyone else at her side. Maybe she was young and maybe everything had developed far too fast, but she knew deep in her heart and soul that Romulus was her soul mate and he was destined to be her partner in life. He was her everything, her future, her present, he helped her move past her past. He saw her for what she really was, not just the sickness she had been fighting her whole life.

Which was still annoyingly present as they kissed. Roma’s paws trailed down her back and sent goosebumps rolling over her skin and a trail of fire where he touched. Lilith fought with the innate desire within and the quickness of breath she was experiencing. She needed him, but already it was getting to be too much. Lil wanted to ignore the feeling she got when she neared the edge, she’d almost lost Roman and now there wasn’t anything she wanted more than him. She wanted him close, she wanted him all around her, Lillith wanted all of him as he whispered his love back to her.

Roman was the one to hold back this time, and as he uttered a frustrated groan Lillith felt the tension in herself. They were pushing her too far, but it didn’t feel like she was getting any better. They reached this tantalizing point and she couldn’t break the barrier. Lil tried to relax into his embrace as her focus concentrated on the way his toes trailed through her fur. She tried to relax and breathe as Roman centered himself and tilted her head with his paw at her cheek. Her ruby gaze lifted to his silver eyes as he told her just how beautiful he thought she was.

"And you’re so dashing.” She told him while lifting her own icy paw to his silver cheek. She could have lingered and dived into his liquid silver gaze forever, but she saw the glint of color as his head shifted. Her gaze followed to catch sight of the aurora right outside her bedroom window. She had been so worried about Roman she hadn’t even seen it before.

"Our own little miracle,” and it really was after everything they faced during this darkness. "Lets go,” they had to, this was her dream after all. Though now it didn’t feel quite as epic as a cross continental journey. Lilith would be happy to have her dream, come true with Romulus wherever they were. Plus, her dad would probably be much more comfortable with her a dozen miles away instead of a few hundred. "Do we have to wait for tomorrow?"
