Gone Too Long

Everything was forgotten when Athena stepped into her den. She could hardly believe that this was happening, and that she had not been scolded for her tender touch. Her cheek still burned where she had kissed her -- sweet flames of a passion that has for too long been suppressed. Amalia didn't fully understand herself was was going on, but all she could think about was the silver goddess waiting for her within her own chambers. Surly this was all a dream. She must have passed out on her way to see Athena, because there was no way that this was truly happening. It was all her dreams rolled into one, impressive being, and a night that she wouldn't soon forget.

The russet faced girl followed after the larger woman, having been standing outside in a bit of a stunned state. This just didn't feel like real life, her paws kept gliding as though she was walking on the air. Heart beat strong in her chest, pounding to a rhythm that only Athena could hear. A part of her was screaming at her to wake up, she was married! But the other part of her saw the logic -- Athena had not shied away or scolded her for her actions, but instead reciprocated them. As soon as her eyes adjusted to the different light balance, she saw that the woman of her dreams was spread out before her as if on a silver platter, warm eyes looking up and meeting her own cyan gaze. She extended and invitation, but Amalia felt rooted to her place for a moment. What she wouldn't give to toss herself at her flank, to bury her coloured face within the confines of her soft coat. But no, there was something that was sitting to heavy on her chest. "Is this wrong?" She whispered, eyes becoming mournful as she refused to take a step closer to the other woman. "I care for you Athena... I always have. But if this is wrong... if you want me to stop just tell me." Came her innocent voice, a soft shiver making her vocals sound like a verse in a song.

Amalia felt so lost in this moment, and wasn't sure where to go. "I find that if you say yes though, that I cannot hold anything back. I have had strong feelings for you for so long now... and now..." She broke off, taking a few tentative steps towards her lounging form. "I don't want to do anything that may drive us apart, I couldn't bare being apart from you again." Her voice was hardly above a whisper, but being in the confined space with Athena she had no doubt that her words would not go unheard. Cyan eyes pleaded with the woman that saved her life, begging for her to tell her what to do.
