Gone Too Long

This... wasn't wrong? She couldn't help but feel relieved, a soft puff of air leaving her lungs as she searched Athena's face. She admired the way that the black under her eyes brought out the stunning colours within, and how easy it was for her to get lost in them. For a long moment she was silent, her gaze looking into each beautiful gem upon her face. Amalia was stunned by her beauty, she had been for a long time now. And now... now Athena was telling her that she felt the same way for her, and that her father had had many children. Was is possible for wolves to love more than one being? For her the answer was no -- there was only Athena. She had never know that she felt attracted to woman, never even found other woman pretty. But this ruler standing before her, now she was different. Even the sun and the moon could not shine as brightly as her, everything else dulled in comparison. If Amalia was struck down right now she would die a happy being, and would not regret that the last thing that she saw was her goddess' face. "Oh my dearest Athena -- my goddess, my unus verus amor." She said softly, speaking the little tiny bit of Latin that she had learned in her travels. That had been the one saying that stood out to her, because it was a perfect match for how she felt about Athena. It translated to 'One true love,' which Amalia knew was the silver queen in front of her now.

And then those three words left Athena's lips, the one phrase that set her heart free. Her knees just about gave out as she fell forward, her chest grazing across her love. "I love you too Athena, so much." She cried, her voice almost too loud for the cave. But all she wanted to do was to scream it out to the heavens, to let everyone know how she felt about Athena. Finding her footing, she cleared her throat as she stood, but did not put space between them. Instead she looked up, face burning from the woman's soft touch. Pressing herself closer to her love, she leaned forward and pressed her damp nose into her cheek. She sucked in her perfume greedily, heart racing in her chest at them being this close to one another. And then she pressed a trail of soft little kisses all the way up Athena's jaw, having to stretch to reach the taller woman's face. Nuzzling against her black rimmed ear, Amalia let out a soft hum. "Oh Athena." She breathed, her own face giving off enough heat to melt all the surrounding snow. The russet faced girl slowly pulled back, pressing her nose against Athena's. Her breathing was a bit heavier now as her heart beat out of proportion. Looking up at the woman from under her lashes, Amalia let out a very breathy laugh. "Promise I'm nor dreaming?"
