Hairbrush
The bristles of the brush passed through effortlessly as they weave through the long rivers of chocolate colored hair. The reds and copper strands shone in the sun, the play of color mesmerizing his attention as he continued his gentle strokes. A sigh escaped the maiden in front of him before she tilted her head back to allow easier access to the hair resting at her crown. The sound echoed throughout his soul weaving a small smile on his lips.
He studied her fair features, the light caressing her skin, illuminating the contours of her face. Eyes hidden behind closed lids and feathered eyelashes gave way to forest green as she turned to give him a humorous smile. Delicate petal pink lips quirked up as she continued to rotate her form towards him revealing a brightness only he could witness.
It was in that moment the world exploded into an symphony of color and sound. The birds singing in the evergreen trees, fairies in the multi colored garden dipping and dashing throughout the clear blue sky, a yellow ball of hot fire resting high in the heavens as it warmed the grass underfoot. They were all beautiful sights and sounds, but only one could overpower them all.
This exquisite creation of light and virtue gazed up at him from her resting place on the wooden porch steps of which she now called home. Her eyes shone with curiosity as her gaze flickered from his features to the brush still griped within his palm, only now slack.
"What's wrong?" The fairykind inquired.
"It's nothing." He smiled bending down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I was just captivated by your beauty." The comment rewarded him a shy smile and rosy red cheeks motivating him to lean in once more, cupping her cheek in a tender embrace. The contact caused for green eyes to become hidden behind a curtain of lash and lid once more as her lips were claimed by warmth and endearment.
"I love you, Kendra." He whispered, breaking the kiss.
"I love you too, Bracken." She whispered back, before capturing his lips once more.
