“Do you intend to coax me out of your chambers,” Cullen purred to her before he pulled her gently down to him and kissed her. “If not…then I don’t believe I will be leaving anytime soon.” He murmured against her lips with his smirk only deepening.
Mira rolled her eyes at Cullen’s teasing and pushed him back down onto her bed, after he started to sit up so he could further their kiss. “Don’t be an ass…” She said as she hovered above his lips with her lavender eyes glowing from the flames in her fireplace.
Cullen chuckled at Mira’s forcefulness and she felt her heart skip a beat at the deep melodic sound that escaped his chest. She wished that she could hear him laugh more often, he was always so serious and disciplined…although Cullen did lighten up around her; so for right now this would have to do.
“It’s one of my many characteristics that you adore, is it not?” The Commander mused as his eyes danced from her eyes to her lips and back up to her eyes. He wanted to kiss her, no he needed to kiss her; it brought him back from the edge he constantly tiptoed across. There were so many illusions in his life and she was the one constant, the one reality that he could truly depend upon.
Every night he slept alone he had the worst nightmares, but when he was with her…he felt safe and whole. Some nights he was lucky to not have any nightmares if Mira was firmly curled around him.
