OOCWrappin it up soon, or you still got something else in mind? The world around the seemed to blur into the background, unimportant. Their blood splattered bodies were locked in a tight embrace, almost merging into one. The scent of the fresh blood enticed the nose of the Kelvic, but she paid it no heed. That too, was unimportant. Love did what Bonding could not. Where he had been her Bondmate, her protector, now he was simply hers. The extreme gentleness and care with which he handled her still astounded Nida. The immediate associations with Seliarus were always intense and fierce; He was a powerful creature clothed in a small human skin. But it was his pure gentleness with her mixed with that deadly bloodlust that made him so wonderful, so unique. The mouth that from a single bite could spell death to any, could carefully press against hers. His dark eyes that observed everything but never gave anything away, could regard her with love and acceptance. He was hers. Nida simply sighed in exhaustion and contentment. Feeling utterly safe, utterly protected in his arms. She knew he'd never let anything happen to her, just as she would die to protect him. A bittersweet ache gnawed at her. Even when everything seemed perfect, there was always something to marr that. Nida needed to protect him, and even though he loved her, not to let him risk his life for her. How do you hide that from someone who, in essense, shared your very soul? Secrets, there were always secrets. Just when she thought that, by confessing their feelings to each other, that was all done now. But it wasn't; It was far from over. But she was getting used to it. |
