-kiss me hard before you go

Quote:

He was right - he wasn't the only one that had his eyes on her. What surprised her, was that he was aware of that. Did he know that she had once wanted Demonio? That Themisto loved her? That she kept them both close even now, and cared for them as she did the few that she considered true friend. Yet they didn't hold a candle to Gideon - her husband, she had sworn herself to him and she wouldn't release him. As possessive as he was of her, she wondered whether she might be worse - because he seemed to love her enough to let her go... while she loved him too much to imagine herself without him. "I am yours, alone." She would reassure him, closing her eyes and shifting slightly to move closer to him, moving her head to nuzzle Gideon's cheek. "I've missed you." The feeling in her words, were those she had felt when he was gone - prisoner to Glaciem. They were what she felt when she had to distance herself somewhat to prepare for battle, she felt it when she was making her rounds after the siege as well. During the move, and then in their time here, he had been scarce. But she had been busy for so long - she believed it would be foolish to play the blame game with him now - they were finally alone together. "I always want you with me. You don't have to feel doubt, just stick a little closer to me. You'll see that you're the only one I have eyes for." He was her anchor, her constant, and although him being there was enough to keep her content, it was when he was with her that she was truly happy.
