PENRYN- I buried myself onto Raffe's neck, I wrapped my arms around his neck "I've never been happier to see you" I whimpered in the crook of his neck. "Are you okay? What were you thinking? What would I have done if I lost you again?" Raffe whispered in my ear.
I hugged him tighter, "Raffe, Uriel told me something…" I admitted. Raffe shook his head "not now. I love you Penryn, I love you more than anything. I told you those things so Hellions and Demons didn't come after you. But I don't care, I'm staying by your side weather you want me or not. I love you so much Penryn" Raffe looked down at me, the grief on his face was enough for me to know he meant it. "I love you too, I don't want you to leave. Stay with me… please" I pleaded.
Raffe smiled "as long as you want me… even after that I'll stay" he held me tighter. "But you have a lot of kissing up to do for that" I lightly punched his arm. He chuckled "I look forward to it" he grinned and pressed a kiss to my cheek. We landed on the ground by the house, Sam, Lisa and Lou ran over. Raffe kept me in his arms but set me down, "I love you" he announced.
I blushed but stood on the tips of my toes and pressed a kiss to his lips. "Awe!" Sam and Lisa said in unison. I pulled away, "she'll have time for a reunion later" Raffe stated and grabbed my hand. Pulling me with him to the house. I noticed Paige sitting by the fire sleeping. I smiled and followed Raffe.
RAFFE- I had no intention of sleeping with her. But I did want to hold her until she fell asleep, she followed me as we entered the house. Going to my room on the third floor. I closed the door behind me, I grabbed Penryn and held her to me.
"If you ever do something that stupid again, I'll put myself in a mental for loving you" I murmured and pressed a kiss to her. Penryn laughed softly "you might want to pre-order a room, I'm pretty good about doing stupid things" Penryn smirked.
I shook my head with a laugh, "I now know why all my Watchers fell… I never understood how they could have betrayed me so. But you daughters of man have quite the tendency to be tempting" I mumbled against her cheek. Penryn smiled, "it was that damn red dress wasn't it?" she asked. I laughed and rested my forehead against hers, "it- it certainly made the impression" I admitted with a smirk. I still remembered looking up at her for the first time, I had felt bad for forcing her to wear something so small. Well that had lasted a few minutes until I actually saw her. She was stunning, everything about her was beautiful, and I knew I loved her in that moment.
"Come on, you must be tired" I tilted my head toward the bed. "Why do I feel it's more for your benefit than mine?" Penryn asked. I gave her a one shoulder shrug "well sort of. I need to know you're safe" I admitted. Penryn smiled "am I safe with you?" she asked I nodded, "yes. You'll always be safe with me." I vowed quietly.
Penryn nodded and I pulled her onto the bed with me. She curled up at my side, and I stretched my wing out and covered us, "are you okay?" I asked and tried looking for any scratches from the tree or from Uriel and Beliel. She nodded slightly "for now" she mumbled and moved closer to my chest. I smiled triumphantly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Good night, love." I whispered in her hair and tucked my chin atop her forehead. "Night, bird-brain" Penryn said softly. I chuckled and hugged my arms around her.
