Princess

Oranges.

That's what he smelt like. The citrus aroma coiled through her nostrils as she nuzzled her face into his chest, with fingers tugging tightly at the neckline of his shirt. She could feel his heartbeat incessantly throbbing against her ear. His hands snaked around her petite waist, closing any distance between their bodies. Heat radiated between trapping any chance for cool air to smother them.

"You're beautiful."

His words echoed through her ears, sending a chill down her spine. She quivered at the warmth of his breath against her skin. Her heart was racing but at the same time she felt relaxed.

"I love you, Molly," he faintly breathed, running his fingers gently through her auburn hair.

She nodded slightly, glancing up to meet his violet eyes. The same ones that always captivated her from the day they first met, to the day they became an official couple. The curves of his lips grew, making her heart skip a beat. She felt butterflies erupt within her and she couldn't help but smile.

It was like a fairytale

"I love you too, Chase."

Only this time, she was his princess.
