The wind blew threateningly, and I swayed on the edge of the cliff. You are wondering why a girl with no wings would be sitting on the edge of a cliff by herself? I wasn't alone. Beside me Iggy clamped his hand over mine and turned to me abruptly.
"Can I see you," He asked quietly.
It was so sudden in the quietness that it almost seemed overly loud. He must have heard me nod because his hand raised to my face slowly as I looked into his stunning blue eyes. It was almost amazing the contrast that they were to my dark green eyes. As his fingers touched my skin I shuddered involuntarily. A faint smile lit up his face as his fingers traced over my cheek lightly. Following the curve of my jaw he ran his fingers lightly across my lips. It was only then that I realized that he was trembling. He brought up his other hand and ran it over my eyes. When I opened them I couldn't help but smile. Iggy had a face on him like that of a teenager seeing his first love after several years.
"What is it?" I murmured.
"You. Your…beautiful…" He whispered. The everything seemed to happen at once. His right hand cupped my face while his left hand slipped halfway into my hair and embraced the left side of my face. Our lips moved closer as if drawn by some unseen force. Then the world seemed to slow, the wind stopped and all movement ceased. Nothing existed except for the two of us in this moment.
I shuddered as our lips touched. He slipped his hand around my waist to pull me closer and I moved into his kiss. We broke apart and he smiled faintly as our foreheads against each others. Something flashed into my mind and I turned away slightly, though I didn't relinquish the warmth of his arms. He refused to let me go and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder, looking over it into the deep void of night. The wind returned and I hugged his arms to me. This moment was perfect. Everything was perfect. I knew that back at the camp Max would be worried about him and Fang would be trying to calm her down with a grin on his handsome face.
I snuggled against Iggy and smiled inwardly. Fang was nothing compared to Iggy. Let Max live with the lack of emotion, the lack of feeling. I couldn't live with that.
"I'm sorry." Iggy murmured softly into my ear gently, planting a little kiss on my neck, sending another chill down my spine. I knew what he was talking about and didn't ruin the moment with speech. I curled up my legs and leaned against him, enjoying the innocence of my first kiss.
