A warm breeze ruffled the leaves overhead, and a lone songbird sung as it flitted by.
I lay back on the blanket to savor the perfect moment, and Lily joined me.
She reached over to run her fingers up my horns as I clasped my hands behind my head.
I closed my eyes as her fingers traced them, and then moved to toy with my hair.
It was such a small, gentle touch, and yet it made me tingle with joy.
“I’m not sure how I feel about that new student that came today,” she murmured, still absently playing with my hair.
“We have a new student? Interesting. He’s probably just freaked out, don’t stress,” I said softly.
“He didn’t seem freaked out,” she muttered.
“We all react differently.”
She sighed, still toying with my hair softly and making my skin prickle. It really did feel quite nice. Her touch alone made me react, and I knew that it was something that I would forever have. I hoped she chose me. I’d hate to lose her touch and feel like an outsider.
But her happiness was all that mattered, even if it meant sacrificing my feelings for her.
I seized up as something touched my lips, igniting a fire inside me instantly.
My eyes shot open to find her leaning over me, her lips pressed against mine.
My heart hammered a million miles a minute, but I closed my eyes, wanting to enjoy the moment.
She was kissing me.
I moved my hands to wrap around her waist, pulling her on top of me gently as I kissed her back. But I’d miscalculated how well she was holding herself up, and she squeaked as she fell onto me, her body pressed against mine and causing heat to sear through me.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized as she broke away, her face beet red.
“Why are you saying sorry?” I asked with a frown, noting that she was still half on top of me.
“I should’ve asked,” she mumbled, her hands planted on my chest. But she wasn’t making any move to push off of me.
She felt perfect in my arms, her body melding into mine like we were made for each other.
Those emerald eyes were dilated as she stared down at me, and I couldn’t fight the need to kiss her again, even if my chest was beating madly. I pulled her down slowly, my heart skipping a beat when she didn’t resist.
She closed her eyes, allowing me to claim her lips once more. I had no idea what I was doing, but I’d done a lot of reading in the romance genre.
I darted my tongue out to trail it over her bottom lip teasingly, and she gasped.
I seized the chance, diving my tongue into her mouth and meeting hers.
We tasted each other, our tongues battling as we kissed. I only hoped I was doing a decent job. I’d never kissed anyone before.
We broke apart, breathless and chuckling from the nerves. I could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she rested her head in the crook of my neck.
I knew she could probably feel mine too.
Along with something else, which I was trying to maneuver away from her so it wasn’t jabbing into her hip.
I didn’t want to spoil the moment, but her body on mine was causing a reaction that I’d read about. It wasn’t the first time either. Sometimes, when my thoughts of her got a little too carried away, it happened as well.
What would it be like to be with her in body? To experience that connection I’d read about?
I pushed the thought from my mind.
I wanted to enjoy this, the feel of her in my arms under the old oak, the afternoon breeze starting to cool down.
Songbirds fluttered in the branches overhead, and I closed my eyes as I found my fingers dancing over her back lightly.
I loved touching her, and the soft contented sigh she released at the caress only made me focus on gently tracing her back more.
She was perfect.
