Broken Sonata

As Saracyn leaned his cheek into hers, she leaned back into his touch, letting her eyes close for a moment as she just focused on his affections while he reassured her that they would find a way to make it work. It was hard to see that path right now and she knew as she went into this that there would undoubtedly be sacrifices that would have to be made, but as she laid here with Saracyn, both mourning what would be lost and celebrating what they had found in one another, she felt like it had to be worth it. He was her Soul Mate, her greatest supporter, her other half. The part of her that wanted so desperately to believe that the Ancients wouldn't lead them astray and wouldn't give them a Soul Mate they weren't meant to have had to believe that she was doing what she was destined to do. Perhaps the destiny she thought that she had been assigned was wrong. Maybe she wasn't meant to be the next Matriarch–or at least not in the same capacity that their mother had been. All she knew was that she was supposed to be with Saracyn and whatever happened because of that was what was meant to be.

She blinked open her eyes once more as his muzzle brushed against hers and his nose lightly pressed to her own, her obsidian gaze finding the bright blue of his. A small smile of her own touched her lips as she saw the determination in his gaze and heard the love he had for her. She returned the tender kiss he gave her, knowing that he would undoubtedly keep his word to do whatever it took to make her happy. In the end though, his happiness was all she really needed. As long as she was able to return the love he gave to her and prove to him that he was as truly as wonderful and special as he was in her eyes then she would be happy. Anything else they managed to salvage or reconfigure to fit their lives together would only be a bonus. She smiled softly again as their brief kiss ended, saying in return, "I love you too, Saracyn. I love you so, so much."

As if there was any doubt about that, she still felt the need to bring her lips to his again, pressing her own firm, loving kiss to his lips. She lingered there for a few tender moments, savoring the familiar feeling of his kiss and reassuring herself that this was how she wanted to spend the rest of their lives. When their lips did part again she only wanted more. She wanted to forget all of the responsibilities and the expectations that she would have to find another way to achieve or come to terms with giving up and instead just wanted to lose herself in the man she loved. When her gaze found his again, their markings glowing in time together, he captured her entire focus and she wanted nothing else but to drown out all the other noise in their lives with his love. "Take me to bed and show me how much you love me," she told him softly against his lips, giving him one more quick, parting kiss before she started to slip away and get to her paws.
