If you were church, I'd get on my knees

Briar gasped softly as Artorias pulled away, the wide, joyful grin returning to her lips as her eyes blinked open and she panted lightly to catch her breath after the long, passionate kiss they shared. When she felt his paw hold hers, her gaze shifted down to watch as he picked up the beautiful, delicate bangle to slip it onto her foreleg. The piece of jewelry joined the topaz bangle he had given her the year prior, the pair of them glittering gently in the moonlight. She had always thought that the topaz studded bangle was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, but somehow Artorias out did himself and found something even more stunning to give her for their engagement. He made so many overwhelming emotions swell in her chest, but in the very best way. He always made her feel special, loved, and happy, but in this moment he made her feel all of those things in amounts she didn't know were possible. She brought her gaze back up to his with tears still misting her eyes, looking at him with love and joy and a gratefulness for the fact that he continued to make her feel like the only girl in the world and for giving her all of the love she had ever wished for.

She easily followed his lead as he held her chin and guided her into another kiss, sinking into the passionate affection with a soft, pleased hum. Her lips molded to his as her eyes slid closed and her forelegs lifted to slip up around the back of his neck. She pulled herself closer to him while they kissed and her tongue found his, holding onto him with a hunger not unlike when they made out up here on the tower for the first time. There was no much more experience and growth between them since then, but that deep desire and need for this wonderful brute never changed and never wavered. If anything it had only grown into a wildfire that was never really satisfied. Her claws gently pricked his skin as she held him tighter, pressing deeper into their kiss with a soft, muffled moan, her chest pressing to his while she fully savored and memorized every single moment of this most perfect day.
