Still into you

"You really are dark."

"No Bo, I'm yours."

Her words burned into my heart, forever leaving her mark. She staked her claim for evermore, as if the powerfully fragile piece of beating flesh hadn't already belonged to her. It had since the first time we met. Just one little part of me, but it ruled over all. Strong enough to move mountains, but so easily broken into a million pieces.

Broken was what happened the first time we made love. It was beautiful, the most perfect moment of my life, until her big reveal made my stomach turn and my heart break. My feelings ran deep, I was hurt and angry, but it wasn't the worst.

Crushed was what happened when we professed our love, having never felt more complete until she walked away. It was supposed to be a break, but all that broke was me. I thought I'd lost her for good that time, it stung even more. I didn't think I could hurt much more, but that still wasn't the worst.

The last one cut the deepest. She was missing, the Unamen wanted her head. I feared the worst right up until I saw her walking across the grass in that black dress, her long blonde hair cascading down her shoulders and a smile that was only ever for me. I'd never been so overcome by such relief, such happiness. She made my heart beat faster. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. She was a goddess. I knew my smile was ridiculously wide, but it was out of my control.

I thought for sure it was finally our time, we would finally make it work. I'd kept the necklace, the small token of her love that she never got to give me. The words she'd written had made my heart swell. They helped to slowly fill the cracks that remained from each time she'd broken it before. And then she crumbled it with her bare hands.

She choose to stay with the dark and refused to come home. She was finally free to choose her own destiny and she chose them over me. Devastated. I thought that was the end of the line, that she had let us go, but I couldn't let her go. Everything she did was for me, that's what she'd said. If that was true, she couldn't walk away. I'd come up with a million questions since that day trying to figure out how she could say those words with such conviction. She was a master at controlling her emotions, her motives often questionable. It was her one trait that aggravated the hell out of me. But this was not the time. It never was. Seemed we were always the victims of poor timing. So many important things left unsaid, but deep down I already knew the truth about her, about us.

I began to walk away, but I couldn't. I had to go back. I always had to go back to her. I turned on my heels and strode towards her with quiet intensity. I was still into her, or rather, she was in me, a part of me. Lauren was never just some little fling, or a crush. It should have been so obvious, but I didn't have a normal upbringing and I damn sure wasn't human. I didn't know what to do with the things I was feeling. Then she told me about my true nature and the more I learned about the things I was capable of, the more I feared for her safety. I was scared to hurt her in more ways than one, so I kept running away.

Now, I was done running from her. I gave in the moment I put on that necklace and felt the full weight of her heartfelt written words. My mind finally relented to what my heart had known. When she told me that she loved me, the weight of the world fell from my shoulders. I was truly not alone anymore. I was more than my nature. Lauren accepted me for who I was, what I was. She didn't just own me, she owned my beast as well, my succubus.

My hands reached for her, pulling her into a passionate kiss as I did before all major battles. It was a kiss that was familiar, but no less meaningful or intense than the others. I knew now that it was because she was my shield and my power. She was the true champion. I could never run off and face death without reminding her that I belonged to her.

Her lips pressed against mine, returning every bit of emotion that I gave. I basked in her glow and savored the taste of her lips, searing this moment into memory forever. There were no words for how Lauren made me feel, how she made me better. I could never describe it, but it reached from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

It took a while for me to understand all she'd done, all she'd sacrificed, but holding her in this moment, feeling her heart race with mine, her aura blaze in a way no others ever had, I knew it was all truly for me. She was always there protecting me regardless of what I thought I felt for her, or how I treated her. There were no more questions. The truth was right in front of me, I could see it in her beautiful brown eyes and feel it in the depths of my soul.

I'd been able to lie to myself, come up with reasons to be apart. One thing I hadn't been able to deny was that I was hers. Before I knew I loved her and even after I thought we were through, I was hers. It was never a walk in the park to love one another. Damn Fae rules, Dyson, end of the world, our insecurities, my needs for survival. Even on our worst nights, our biggest fights, I was into her. It was always her. It would always be her.

I slipped my hand into hers. Our fingers interlocked as I looked into her eyes, those expressive brown pools that I could drown in. After all this time I couldn't deny that she was worth it, worth everything and more. I should be over all the butterflies, yet every time I saw her, they set my stomach aflutter with a giddy anticipation. When she smiled I couldn't help but smile bigger. Her happiness brought light to my life in ways I might never understand.

The others didn't get it, couldn't see what she had to offer the "Champion," "Choosen One," "The Queen," or any of my other names-du-jour, but I knew. They could go ahead and wonder how we got this far, I didn't really need to wonder at all, she had seeped under my skin, broken down my walls and just like that, she had stolen my heart. Like air, I needed her.

I pressed my forehead to hers, a light vanilla scent filled my senses and brought me a sense of calm, even as the storm raged around us.

It was time to go. There was another threat to those I loved and those I swore to protect, whether they knew me or not. I wouldn't fail, couldn't fail. I would always conquer all, because of her.

Her eyes fluttered open and stared into mine, silently acknowledging that I had to leave. I found a peaceful calm knowing I would never truly lose her no matter how this life played out, what we went through, or how many years we had together. That smile, it melted my insides like plastic to flame. She knew it and she loved it. It wasn't a power trip, it was love. I may have been the most powerful Fae, but she would always be the one with the power.
