Two Kisses

Blaise's lips were turned down into a pout as he stared at me with big, watery eyes. I couldn't resist, allowing a smile to slip onto my face despite the somber atmosphere. 

With small quick steps, I practically jumped into Blaise's arms, which automatically came to wrap around my torso. He spun me around just the slightest, holding me tightly in his embrace as I reveled in the soothing warmth my mate radiated. Then, he leaned down and captured my lips in a breathtaking kiss.

I had to stand a little on the tips of my toes, clinging onto him dearly as the world around us seemed to fade. Even when we finally pulled apart from one another, it was as though there was honey that linked our gazes together, unable to tear away completely.
