Closed [The Rearing Stallion] A Life Repaired (Shiress)

[Alex Cromwell]

Alex wrapped his arms around Shiress, holding her close to him. He didn't want to let go, not after leaving her in the forest for dead. He didn't know if he wanted a relationship, but he knew that he felt something for this human girl. She was vulnerable, and scared. Alex knew that she needed protection, lest she fall prey to the corruption of this world. He looked into her emerald green eyes, searching for some sign that she wanted him to stay with her. He knew that if he didn't take the initiative, she would push him away and he would never see her again. He leaned in a placed a soft kiss upon her lips, hoping she would return the kiss. However, it was equally possible that she would kick him again. He braced himself for the hit that he knew was coming.

Shiress gave fully to Alex's embrace. The Kelvics arm's were strong and invited a familiar sense of safety. Her mind was a hundred places at once, but her body was here, lost in the embrace around it. When his lips met hers, she didn't pull away, she pressed hers against his. Her hand lifted to caress his cheek, her eyes opened and she pulled just barely away then again she kissed him before lowering her head. "I don't want you to leave, Alex, but you can not stay for me" She lifted her head and smiled hesitantly. "I don't even know who I am, what I want or really what I need, but I wish you would stay." She pressed her head against his chest hoping he could understand what she could not.

He knew what she meant when she said that he could not stay for her, but he had planned on staying here, and possibly making a life for himself. He wanted to find a bond mate, but he didn't know where to begin. Then, a thought struck him. Here he was, holding a beautiful human girl, whom he realized that he had feelings for, and she wanted him to stay with her. He smiled, and asked her his question. "Shiress, do you know why I came back? Because I knew there was something special between us when we slept together by the fire the day I found you. I belong with you." He wanted to ask another question, but he didn't know how she would react. He leaned in an placed another kiss upon her lips, this time deeper and more passionate. He felt the rush of blood to his face and his extremities, as the kiss deepened even further. This couldn't be anything other than pure infatuation.

He pulled her closer to him, feeling her heartbeat through her soft, smooth skin. Alex pulled away slowly, and gazed into her deep emerald eyes. He mustered up his courage and asked his question. "Shiress, is there somewhere we could go with a little bit more privacy?" People had started staring at the two of them in the street. Alex knew where this would lead if she said yes. He desperately hoped she would, but there was a nagging thought at the back of his mind. It was telling him that she should continue to be a nomad. It said that he still had business elsewhere in the land. He didn't care, all he wanted right now was to be with Shiress, in every sense of the word.

[Shiress]

Before she could reply to his words she felt herself again being pulled toward the kelvic. Her eyes filled with tears as his lips met hers. Confusion, erratic emotion and complete fear took her from the moment as he pressed against her. Her body trembled beneath his touch and even as he kissed her she became numb and disoriented and was relieved when he released her. Her fingertips rested softly against her lips as her eyes closed and tears streamed again down her face. "Alex, I cant." She lifted her eyes to his. "I know what you have done for me and I'll never find a way to pay my debt to you, but, Alex, I don't even remember the fire, really, plainly." Her head lowered in a soft sob. "I'm so sorry, please, don't hate me." Her fist tightened around his shirt as if she was trying to speak again but she found no more words. "Im sorry." She said and turned back through the entrance. She slowly turned giving Alex a confused glance just before the door shut.

Alex stood there in silence and shock. She had kissed him, then burst into tears. She remembered him, then claimed amnesia. How could this be possible? She wanted him to stay, then had pushed him away. It did not make sense to him. He began to walk towards the door, then thought about what she had said. She was right to think of him as a monster for leaving her for dead. She did not say it, but he eyes had betrayed her words. She hated him for what he had done. She clearly did not want him to stay with her, not after what had just happened. Alex growled with rage, but gather his belongings and began the long, lonely walk towards the front gate of Syliras. He was never going to come back here, not while she didn't want him to see her. He would rather make a life in the Wildlands, and rebuild his father's house, which, in hindsight now, he should probably not have burned down when he went looking for Ra'Thun those many weeks ago. He smiled and kept walking.
