Vic lays back on the bed and I quickly follow her lead but just before our lips meet I think, what if this is the last time, what if we never make love again, and she is gone out of my life forever? The possibility of losing her is too much for my heart to bear, my body shuts down, and my brain seizes to process, refusing to ponder the prospect of losing her.
I push up, hovering over Vic, her arms wrapped around my back, and I stare until her eyes open. Our eyes look through each other and it is if I have fallen inside of her, the words fall out and tumble down hitting her body and rolling off onto the floor, "I love you. I love you. I love you." The tears seep from her eyes trailing backwards and dropping from the cliff of her cheek into the valley below.
"We aren't dreaming, baby. This is real."
I lower myself, finding her naturally waiting, and our bodies sync into one. Her fingernails dig into the hollow of my back acknowledging the depth I have achieved. The tears still seep from her eyes but are joined by mine as our eyes have too joined in unison.
"The star that covers my heart is not my heart, Victoria, you are and the world be damned." This was my surrender to her, my affirmation of love.
"I love you so much it hurts." Vic breathlessly whispers. I feel her body quake and it reverberates throughout every fiber of my body. I slow her pace, refusing her quickening; the tides roll slower, stronger, and longer as she moans and screams out wholly releasing herself to me. Her nails sink into my flesh and my body releases in kind.
"Don't…." whisper…." stop" the warmth of her breath cascades past my lips.
I obey her command.
Our bodies stay twisted together as we slumber and a new day begins. I wake to Vic departing my arms. She rolls over and tenderly kisses my lips; it does not taste of good-bye but of beginnings.
"Good morning, sweetheart."
"Good morning," her eyes are soft and her hand begins to explore my body. "I never did find all of your scars, did I?"
"You have the rest of your life to find them and the one's I don't have, yet."
She smiles, accepting my desire for her, and my commitment to never part.
"Hmmmm" a quick kiss and she decides to part my arms. She looks over her shoulder, "That's a promise I want you to keep, ok."
"Yup"
Our morning remained quiet while we packed and said good-bye to Dallas. Vic is unusually quiet in the truck but I don't worry because she is sitting next to me, my arm draped around her shoulders, her head pressed into my chest, with her hand tucked, resting, purposefully in-between my legs. She has taken full ownership of what belongs to her as she should, as I expect and as I like.
"How much longer until our fantasy is over?"
I smile and look out of my window, "Don't know"
"What time is it?"
"It's not that, it's just I don't think it will be over."
Vic snuggles in just a little bit tighter and kisses my neck just outside of my Adam's apple which automatically turns the corners of my mouth up.
"I'm going to really love, loving you."
I smile and hug her a little tighter.
"The magic will dissipate, Walt you know that. Are you sure you aren't worried about home?"
"Yup, I'm sure I'm not worried"
"ok"
"Here's the deal. I'm not worried about what I feel….ah..you know…what you feel. That's what matters, Vic."
"In theory, yes, I agree with you."
"Besides, you got a man that's not a one-trick-pony there's other things in life besides being a lawman and there's other places to live besides Durant but there's only one of you, so to me, it's pretty simple."
"How do you do that?"
I look over at her my brows almost touching from confusion.
"How do you just make it go away like that?"
"What?"
"How do you just break complicated shit down and make all of my fears go away just like that." Snapping her fingers.
"Dunno but I think it's one of the benefits of love. Making it all feel and be better."
She laughs and shakes her head. "You are such a dope but you're my dope so I get it I guess."
I lean down and kiss the top of her head.
"Stay with me tonight."
"Vic, I want to but if we do that then there's no slowing down the tongue waggers are you sure that's what you want?"
"Yeah, I am"
"Well, you have about 12-hours to think about it and if you change your mind it doesn't change me, ok"
"Ok…oh and by the way I haven't told you in like the past hour but I love you Walter Longmire."
"I love you, too, Victoria Moretti"
Hello -fellow Longvic devotees. Please, let me know how you would like to see our favorite pair deal once they are back home in Durant. I would love to incorporate your ideas in future chapters. Thank you for the reviews ... they reaffirm I'm not the only one crazy about these two. :)
