His lips were warm against mine, a steady pressure that deepened with every second we lingered there. The world around us, the pain, the tension, the broadcast that had shaken everything... faded to silence.
There was only this. Us.
Kaelos kissed me like he was unraveling. His lips moved gently, almost as if he feared I might vanish.
But I didn't.
I leaned into him, threading my fingers through the strands of his thick hair and holding him close, grounding him in the only truth that mattered now: I wasn't going anywhere.
The kiss deepened, his mouth parting just enough for his tongue to brush mine.
A shiver traveled through my spine, and I moaned softly into the kiss, my heart pounding against my ribs. There was no urgency, no rush... just need.
Kaelos pulled back slightly, resting his forehead against mine, our breaths almost in sync.
