I knew that this was probably a hallucination. I knew that Noah would probably disappear if I shut my eyes and reopened them. I knew that the more I looked at him, watched him, the more painful it would be later on. Yet, I couldn't stop my eyes from hungrily drinking in his features. He didn't look much ifferent from when I saw him last. His hair, usually artfully messy, was disheveled from the rain. He was wearing a coat and a scarf. His five o'clock shadow looked a little more prominent than usual, darker but with the same gold glint that I loved. His eyes met mine. And the world fell away.
I wanted to kiss him, to shout at him, to cry while he held me in his arms. But I couldn't take a step forward. I was frozen in place.
How pathetic.
He looked as surprised as I was. As if that was possible.
He took an unsteady breath, and it broke me out of my reverie. I reached out to touch him, to see if he was real. My fingers brushed the rough wool of his jacket and I knew he was here. He was really here.
And then I was crying.
I don't mean tears silently falling as I looked at him. No, I was sobbing. I was wailing, hysterical, a mess. And yet I knew he still loved me. The thought made me cry harder.
His arms were around me and his face was in my hair and it was Noah. Noah everywhere. I saw nothing but him and his beautiful face that was crumpled in pain. I felt nothing but his lips kissing my hair, my forehead, my shoulders. It was just me and him. There were seven billion people in the world and it was just me and him.
"Mara." He whispered my name, his lips against my cheek. His eyes were full of tears and I wiped them away.
"I love you. I thought you were dead-" My voice broke. "I thought you were gone and that I would never have the chance to say it. You have to know. I love you, Noah Elliot Simon Shaw. It's only you and it will only ever be you."
He was silent. For over a minute, he just stared at me. Gauging my words, I imagine. And then he slammed into me, pulling my body flush against his and kicking the door shut behind him. fHis lips crashed into mine with an intensity I have never felt before. We had to do something about our powers and Noah. I could kill him and Noah. Should we be doing this? And Noah. His name overtook my thoughts and my body and my entire being. And soon, I was matching his intensity. I was grabbing fistfuls of his hair and trapping him against my mouth. He slammed me up against the wall and I knew it should have hurt, but it didn't. All I could feel was his mouth on mine and his hands on my waist He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around him. I was drowning in Noah; in the bliss and euphoria of the moment. I was certain that this was a dream and I didn't care. This realization made me bolder in my actions. I ground up against him and he moaned into my mouth. I knew that we were entering dangerous territory but all I could think about was how much I loved him. And, oh, I loved him so much. I loved the way his five o'clock shadow felt against my face. I loved how he was pressing me into the wall so tightly that I thought I might explode but is hands on my waist were so soft and gentle and loving. I loved that when he trapped me with his arms, I was free.
He pulled away from my lips, panting.
"You do look lovely, darling. But I'm afraid you have too much clothes on."
I flushed.
He considered his words before speaking. "If you aren't ready... Well, I once told you that this was enough. That still holds true. But... Mara, I'd like to make love to you."
I gasped, turning a deeper shade of red. He smiled ever so softly.
"You don't have to be afraid. I love you. I'll always love you. That won't ever change."
I looked into his eyes and I saw rainclouds. I saw hurricanes ans the waters of a troubled ocean. I saw sheeting rain and falling skies. I saw everything that I loved and things that I hated. But I knew that he had flaws and that's what made him perfect.
I pulled his head down so that my lips were a breath away from his ear.
"I'm ready." I whispered, and kissed his earlobe. He leaned in closer, nuzzled his face in my hair, and just held me. He still held me against the wall and I wondered idly if his arms were getting tired. A minute passed, two, three. I wondered if he had somehow fallen asleep. That would have been a major mood killer. But finally, after what seemed like an infinity, he drew away and kissed me lightly on the crown of my head.
He met my gaze and there was no teasing light in his eyes. "You're sure?" Was all he asked.
"Yes." I responded simply.
So he pulled me into his arms.
