Lilith's POV
'Look into my eyes. Do you see who I am?'
I dip my head, my hand clenching hers in encouragement. I want to see her eyes. I need to see her eyes. Slowly, gently, I place my index finger under her chin & raise her head. Her eyes wander, diverting direct contact with my own & continuing to hide the truth from me. Frantically, I speak.
'Michaela, please.' She sighs & I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. Biting her lip, willing herself to break. Finally, she looks into my eyes. I see purity, fear, strength, assurance & love. The latter, being love, was the one I was looking for. Her eyes are the color of cyan.
'I love you Lilith, & no matter what my father says, no matter what our fathers say- I will always love you.'
I smile, reaching out, my thumb grazes her cheek. She leans, her cheek becoming enveloped in my hand, sighing in satisfaction.
'I am aware that you are indeed Satan's daughter. & despite all of our challenges that we will face loving one another, I will never give you up.'
This time I'm biting my own lip. My sharp canines piercing the skin. I hiss & my own eyes flicker to copper. She smiles that sweet smile I love. The first smile that proved she was his daughter.
'I love you. & although I realize we are from two long feuding families, I am willing to go through our struggle as long as you are my prize.'
She giggles. I tilt my head, partially curious as to why she's laughing.
'What?' I giggle myself, she was always meant to be mine.
'You said "as long as you're my prize". I think that's something that runs in your family; possessiveness.' I laugh, wholeheartedly, realizing that it must truly be apart of my DNA to take claim over my things. That was the exact reason our love sent our separate worlds loopy.
Catching my breath, I hum to myself. As soon as our eyes connect I hear our song playing in the background. She sinks into my touch as I grip her wrist & glide her to me. Our lips are dancing over one another.
'May I?' I've always asked, no matter if she initiates our kiss or not, I will always ask. She simply nods. Lovingly placing my arms securely around her waist I nudge her nose with my own & our lips connect. Everything freezes, literally, except our song.
It's slow. Our lips bruise together. I can taste the salt on my tongue as I ask for further entry. Her fingers tighten their grip on the back of my neck.
Heart beats fast, colors & promises.
How to be brave, how can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
As my tongue softly grazes her own, I hear a sweet whimper. Together, we are & always have been, deathly.
One step closer.
My eyes flutter open as I feel her lips retreat. I begin to protest with a whimper of my own until I realize she has taken my head & is continuing to guide me to our bed.
We had made a place for ourselves, for our love. Mutually between the two of our worlds, equally accessible to both families.
If it was not made clear, I am Satan's daughter. She is Michael's, the archangels, daughter.
Our families did not see our union as something to be respected nor allowed, until they both realized that she had indeed been mine & I- hers, for thousands of years.
You see, Michaela & I had always been connected. Through our families history, school, & our own simple existence. We always shared longing glances at one another. Forbidden smiles. Accidental touches. When confronted by our respected families we both stood our ground, vowing to live our lives as normal as possible; as we were asked.
We spent centuries loving each other. Both through the same body, life, mind & senses.
We simply repeated our lives from infancy to adulthood. Never truly getting to know one another. Until our 3 thousandth year. As she had said many times in our past, the third time was the charm.
In kindergarten, both mutually aware of the other, we started a friendship. Neither of us thought anything of it. We knew we were in love, but our lives forged us to ignore it. That was, until our families sprang some tolerance into our world.
'Lilith-'
'Michaela-'
To put it simply our families had agreed to let us live our lives, normally. I believe underneath it all they realized it'd be much easier & less of a headache to just let us love one another then to watch us sneak & regret it.
The lyrics to our song, for all of these years, have always rung true & this was our first time during our embrace that we had admittance of it.
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.
Slowly, she trails her fingers up my arm. Her eyes follow the movements, but my eyes simply cannot bear to move from her face.
'Make love to me, please?'
This was our 6 thousandth year. 3 thousand years we spent together. Nothing more then kisses, light touches & declarations of love. I believe it was fair to say that our families had learned, we were definitely together; forever as she'd like to say.
With a simple nod we stand together. Helping the other shed the unnecessary clothing. Completely nude, we stare. As rude as anyone thought it would be, we shared gazes of love. None of lust nor vanity.
Our eyes lock again. Her eyes a darker blue & mine a light brown.
Time stands still.
Beauty in all she is.
I will be brave, I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me. Every breath, every hour has come to this.
One step closer.
Coming closer to one another our lips mold.
She is my opposite, completely & totally.
Together, we hurt one another.
Her lips against mine cause the skin to break, swell & bruise. The same goes for her. The most beautiful part of it all- we feel it happening, but only see it when the night becomes morning. The slight bruises, hand prints, nips, lip prints; all become visible at once. Our bodies becoming instantly & beautifully achy. We fall asleep against our bruises & fall in love a little deeper with each painful tussle of our sheets.
Lying her on the bed my finger tips stroke her hips. She flinches & I can only render myself to smirk than giggle. She's always been ticklish, something I learned throughout our first thousand years together.
I nip at her neck & faintly feel her shake beneath me. My fingers trace slowly to her center.
Unknowingly we had both promised ourselves to the other when we first became aware. Our first few years of life. 6 thousand years, that's how long our loved waited.
Softly kissing her stomach, my fingers graze her thigh. Looking into her eyes for approval I see a glint of love. I'm positive my own fiery heart could have flown out of it's cage if it had a true say so.
Her right hand & my left intertwine. Kissing her inner thighs lovingly I whisper my devotion.
'I am only yours'.
'Proudly so'. She answers.
Her eyes shut slowly, so beautifully as my tongue brushes against her slick folds. Her own breathing becoming stalled, I press my nose to her mound & inhale. She's as sweet as she looks.
Her moans & whimpers drown out my aggressive thoughts & replace them with some of the most loving feelings I have ever felt for her.
After a few moments I trace her entrance with a single finger. She smiles at me, reassuringly.
Gently & fearfully I slide the finger in, bit by bit. She bites her lip & I can see a tear glide down her cheek. I slow my movements & move onto her. She wraps her arms around my bare back. I whisper to her, soothingly & soon she accepts me. I stroke my finger inside of her, loving the way she grips me, both inwardly & outwardly. Soon, I feel her climax building. My eyes find hers & I smile as our song & her climax come to an end.
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you.
For a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.
All along, I believed I wouldn't fine you.
Time has brought your heart to me.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.
Brushing her hair from her face pulling her closer to me, I feel her breath steady against my cheek. I can only think of the next thousand as I drift to sleep, along with her.
One step closer.
I hope it's not too much of an issue. I really hope you all like it. I'm in love with this concept & I hope everyone can enjoy the writing. Sorry for any possible mistakes.
The song is 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perri; I am so in love with it.
Lilith; Santana.
Michaela; Brittany.
