A gentle smile curled the corners of Fin’s mouth upward, but he said nothing. He leaned closer still, and when he pressed his lips to hers, Ivy felt an explosion of sensation rock her from head to toe. Her lips parted, and Fin’s tongue slid into her mouth, gently caressing hers, and Ivy drew in a sharp breath. But then she leaned into him, twirling her tongue around his as she gripped his forearms tightly.

Her low murmur was lost in his mouth, and as their kiss deepened, she felt her longing and her desire flare like a bonfire inside of her. A heat she was not accustomed to burned low inside of her, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her most intimate parts.

Slowly, Fin pulled back, his eyes still locked onto hers. Ivy was left nearly breathless, and for a long moment, completely senseless. Her body felt watery, weak, as if her legs were about to give out beneath her and send her tumbling to the ground. But Fin held her up, a warm smile on his face, and pulled her to him, embracing her tightly and giving her a moment to gather herself.

Ivy extricated herself and took a step back, never breaking eye contact with him. Her body was consumed with a pleasure that was utterly foreign to her, but one that she relished. The smile on her face stretched from ear to ear, and she reveled in the sensations that still gripped her tightly.

“Th - that was my first kiss,” she said, her voice barely more than a whisper.

Fin grinned wolfishly and had a mischievous glint in his eye. “Aye. Mine tae.”

Ivy burst into laughter and playfully slapped him on the chest. “Do not be so cheeky,” she said. “That was most definitely not your first kiss.”

“Twas me first kiss with ye,” he grinned.

“Cheeky.”

“Tis the only way I ken how tae be.”

He pulled her to him, enveloping her with his massive frame as he embraced her. It seemed to be with some regret that he stepped back and helped her onto her horse. She looked down at him, not wanting the moment to end, to remain there with him in that blissful bubble forever. But thunder rumbled in the distance, bringing them both back to reality.

“Ye should be gettin’ back,” he said.

She nodded. “I will see you soon.”

“In a couple of days, I hope,” he replied.

She looked at him for a long moment, swaddled in a warm glow. The sunlight slanted down through the boughs above and cast him in a bright golden halo that made him even more handsome - something Ivy did not think possible.

“I hope so too,” she said. “I truly do.”
