Chapter 45

" I want to take you somewhere, and once we leave there, I'll take you somewhere else.... somewhere completely magical and blissful. But first I have to know m'eudail.." 

He tightened the hold on her neck a very small fraction. But one that affected her tremendously nonetheless. 

" Do you trust me? " he repeated. His husky voice laced with newly found roughness that made it even more appealing. 

She didn't stop to think about his question. To consider whether or not she actually trusted him. Because the answer was clear, and it was at the very forefront of her mind. 

" Yes. I trust you completely, " with her entire life even. This new feeling that she was experiencing was unlike any other she'd ever had. It made her heart race at times, and at others, it slowed down until she suspected that it wasn't beating at all. How could she not trust him when he held her like she was the only thing he treasured . Like he was scared of letting go. 

And when he looked at her with a love that was so clear, so dense that it nearly choked her. He gave a curt nod at her reply. Those simple words meant everything to him. And to hear her actually say them...that was all he could have ever asked for. 

Standing with her in his arms, he walked over to the wide balcony doors. She looked at him oddly, already realising what was to come. And although she wasn't a big fan of heights, she was determined not to let her fear show. 

" Shall I open the door? "

" Please, "

She reached forward and unlocked them, spreading them open for them to pass. He walked out and the cold air hit her. A refreshing breeze flowing by, sweeping her hair behind her. 

He maintained his eye contact with her. Offering her reassurance that everything was fine and she had absolutely nothing to worry about. She smiled. Then he spread his wings. They seemed brighter now that it was dark. The soft feathers so immaculate she wanted to stroke them. 

Then he slowly rose up and she tucked her head into his armor clad chest. Tightening her grip on him as she squeezed her eyes shut. 

" Hey.... " he whispered, willing her to look at him. And although she was trying to be brave he could see the fear clearly in her eyes. And he wanted to erase it for it didn't belong there, her beautiful eyes deserved nothing but to sparkle with delight. 

" It's okay, I've got you so just relax... " 

She nodded unsurely. Swallowing past the lump in her throat. He was standing on the thin balcony railing. Balancing himself effortlessly with her secure in his arms. She looked ahead. Then regretted the action immediately after and tucked her head into his chest again. 

" M'eudail, look at me. "

She stayed in place. Refusing to extract herself from the safety of his chest. So he willed her to do so again. 

" Do you think I might be careless enough to drop you? "

She shook her head. Her heart thumping. 

" Then trust me, I give you my word that I'll never let go. "

He leaned in and softly captured her lips in the most gentle of all kisses. But despite how soft it was, it shook her entire being with its might. Wrapping her arms around his neck she deepened it. Seeking entrance that was freely given. He lapped at her tongue when she dipped it into his mouth. That chocolate dipped apples taste filled her. And she didn't want him to ever let go either. 

When he pulled away he kept his eyes fixed on her to gauge her reaction. He wanted to master it to his memory, their first flight together. Her eyes widened in cute shock. Her kiss swollen lips parting as she looked at her changed surrounding. 

" We're up! " she exclaimed as she turned her head from side to side. Then up at the cluster of stars that blanketed the entire sky. The sight was lovely, amazing even. But it was nowhere comparable to the look she wore while staring at it. 

Priceless. He thought, the things he would do to see it all over again. 

" Oh my God, this is so awesome! " she smiled. A bright smile that almost drowned him in emotion. 

" I could live up here and not - " her words were cut of and replaced by a scream as he turned in the air before flying straight ahead. Then the scream turned into a delighted laugh that went on forever. And it fueled him to go on...and on.... and on. She looked down, noting just how high up they truly were. Then he stopped and slowly shifted both his hands to her waist so that they were both standing upright in the air. She locked her fingers together behind his neck. 

If he had the ability to stop time he would have done so. In all honesty. If there was a chance for them to live in that moment then he would have taken it gladly. 

" Shall we go up? " he asked and she looked up. That perfect smile still in place. 

" Mmmmh, " 

Without another word he did just that, his wings rustling softy in the wind. Her hair sweeping across her face. The only other sound being heard was her sweet laughter. And when he stopped ascending, he kissed her with the laughter fresh on her lips. She dug her hands into his dark hair. Returning it with eagerness. And she almost groaned when he pulled away. 

" You know angel, for a first date, this isn't too shabby, " she joked and he smiled. 

" Not too shabby? I literally swept you off your feet. "

" I don't recall any sweeping being involved. You technically kidnapped me and shot up to space. Reminds me a little of superman. "

" Who? " he frowned. His brows knitting in confusion. 

" Oh, it's just this movie superhero back on earth. He like came from an alien planet and has superpowers like laser eyes super strength. So he goes around saving people and fighting crime. I used to love him as a kid, even had my own action figure collection...." she mumbled on and on. And once she was done, she looked up to find Nuriel staring at her oddly. 

" Don't take this the wrong way m'eudail but I understood almost none of what you just said. "

She shook her head and laughed again. And everything seemed to be as it should be. They laughed and flew. And he listened when she told him other tales about her planet and all the things she used to love. Like a frozen delicacy named ' ice cream ' that they unfortunately didn't have there. They didn't realise it as the hours passed. He had her in his arms and that was enough. To hear her talk and laugh was enough. He wanted nothing more. 

He finally flew down and came to a rest on a wide rock, placing her on his lap. Flame looked around and there wasn't much to see, it was dark. But she could tell that they were somewhere inside a forest judging by the many trees around. And because of the lock down, Nuriel knew that they were the only two living beings outside. 

" Is this the other place you wanted to take me? " she asked. Then she sneezed because of the cold that was seeping in. It was chilly, and she was only wearing her gown, even her feet were bare. 

Nuriel instantly enclosed them both in his wings. Securing her from the cold in the intimate cocoon that was meant only for her. She felt the space being filled with heat as the cold drifted away. Her goosebumps disappearing and her body warming up. 

It felt nice. 

" No, it's not. " he answered her previous question. 

" But if you want, I can still take you, "

" Sure, where is it? "

He used the back of his hand to move all her hair back. Then he reached for her back and she felt him as he undid the little pearl buttons that run down her back. 

" It's high m'eudail.....very high. " his words were razored with a sharp intensity. He watched the rise and fall of her chest. Listened to the fast beat of her heart. And caught a hint of the scent of her arousal in the air that they now shared. 

Flame stilled as he slid the sleeves of her gown down her arms. Leaving her half exposed. Nuriel took in the sight of her. His gaze falling to her breasts and remaining there, her nipples were hard peaks that he wanted to capture. And he did.. leaning down he licked at the hardened tip before he sucked it into his mouth. She bent her head back, her hand gripping his nape as she divulged in the pleasure he was offering. Holding her by her waist he lifted her to sit up on his lap, her knees on his thighs and her chest at the same eye level as his eyes.
