We continued to dance through out the entire night, one right after another. No one bothered us, no enemies to fight, no stress. It was just her and me. But alas all good things have to end don't they?

Neither of us said a thing while we walked back to our tavern. By this time of night either people were still out parting or fast asleep so no one was in sight. We entered out room and Kira walked in, flopping onto the bed and giving a giggle.

" What are you laughing at?" I asked as my brows rose. There was a moment before she spoke. She laid with the settle movements of her chest being the only thing noticeable.

" I didn't think I'd ever have a night like that in my life." She finally spoke while starring at the ceiling. " It's nice."

I felt my body step over to her and slowly climb on top of her one by one.

" B-bishop-"
She stopped her sentence and propped herself on her elbows as I brushed my fingers across her cheeks. She did look beautiful but I wanted the old Kira, one without all the makeup on. Despite that, her eyes did look gorgeous.

" Did i ever tell you how beautiful your eyes are?" I whisper as I slip my hand behind her head, pulling on what ever had kept her hair up. Graciously, her hair began to fall and caress her back.

She shook her head.
" What would you do if I kissed you right now? Hypothetically of course."

" Haven't you already done that?"
" I said hypothetically."
She smirked. " I guess I'd hypothetically kiss back."

Now I smirked. I began to lean in, feeling her breath. Could she hear my heart beating? Gods knows how hard it was pounding.

" What if-" I interrupted just before my lips met hers. I had to know before I did anything. " What if I went farther than kissing?"

" You mean hugging?" She teased. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.
" Sort of."
The look in her eyes was the most daring I had ever seen them before.
" I guess you'd have to find out yourself."

I took a moment to search her for any sort of clue but I found nothing. If I had to stop then I would, no matter how hard it would be on me.

So I leaned in and stole a precious kiss from her lips. Almost instantly Kira's arms were around my neck and tangled into my hair. My lips moved against hers passionately and I began to pour my feelings into her. My hand slipped behind the nape of her back and gave her laces a tug. The feeling of the silk against my hand, it was real, it wasn't a dream.

Once her laces were loose I laid her down and pressed myself against her. This was all real right? This was too good to be a dream.

Her fingers gently trailed down my spine and settled right at my hips. The feeling itself nearly made my whole body shiver. To think she could do that to me with such a simple touch.

Slowly I slipped the gown off of her shoulders and kissed the bare skin before burring into the nape of her neck. She was so warm, so delicate.
" Bishop?"
" I've never felt like for anyone my whole life, all I cared about was myself but then I met you and . . . and now I just know what to do." I mumbled. She laid still for a moment and allowed me to listen to the erratic beat of her heart. Then suddenly I felt myself being flipped.
" Do you realize how you make me feel when you say such stupid things like that?" She asked, avoiding my gaze. Her hair draped off of her shoulders and fell in front of her face in attempt to hide it. But I didn't want her to hide.
" Do you realize how you make me feel by being next to you?" I asked her as I tucked her hair behind her ear. Kira let a small gasp escape her lips and turned to look at me. I took the opportunity and kissed her again. This time there was no more breaks, no disturbances or questions. Both of us drowned in passion and love that we had both been hiding and finally I didn't have to hold back any more.

In the morning I found myself beside her with my arm around her waist. Kira laid, her eyes closed and asleep. I pushed myself closer to her and closed my eyes as well. The soft smell of lavender drowned me and made me relax. I love her . . . I love her, I love her, I love her. I had fallen for the dragonborn and some how I had managed to stand a chance. But our adventure wasn't over, we still had to rise and finish our traveling. She needed to return to Riften, check in on the guild and figure out what to do from there. But that could wait for a little. Right now I wanted to cherish this moment and make it last. So I listened to her breathing and trailed back into a blissful sleep.

" Ah Shit!"

Kira rolled, just barely missing the flames and launching another arrow. Just a while ago she was in bed fast asleep with Bishop beside her now here she is a few miles away from Riften fighting a dragon.

The tail flung and hit her across the way. A scream escaped her lips as she landed with a loud smack. Kira shakily rose to her feet and let her shout escape her. The dragon stumbled and quickly Bishop as well as the guards attacked. With a roar the dragon screamed and its body went limp. Gold began to enclose both the body as well a Kira, the scales disappearing one by one. Another dragon down.

" Are you ok?" Bishop rushed as he ran up to her. She gave him a crooked smile.
" I'm good as new. Now lets get back to getting to Riften. I want to get there before dark sets."
Bishop pressed his lips in a thin line and nodded. It was then he decided.

He continued to fumble with his ring on his finger as they made it into the gates of Riften. The limp in Kira's walk had finally faded as they made their way to the Bee and Barb.

" Kira wait-" He snatched her wrist before he could even second guess it. She looked back at him and cocked her head in question. There was a moment of silence before he gave a nod of encouragement to himself.

" I want you to have this." He started as he slipped his ring off of his finger. His hand slipped down to hers and he slid the piece of jewelry onto her ring finger.

" But Bishop, you've never taken this off since we've been traveling together-"
" I want you to have it." He interfered. He gave a lick of his lips before continuing on.

" Kira, last night you finally saw how I feel for you and . . . and when I saw you fighting that dragon and almost get killed I realized we don't know how much longer we have. I was truly frightened and I . . . I want to spend the rest of my life with you, knowing that you're mine."
" Bishop-" She couldn't even finish her sentence. Bishop knelt onto one knew right then and there in the center of Riften. He looked dead straight into her eyes and spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear.

" Kira, will you marry me?"

Everyone went silent. Her heart began to pound, her vision began to blur. All she could do was hopelessly nod, she couldn't even talk. The crowd roared screaming ' she said yes! She said yes!' while they embraced with a hug. Kira trembled, pulling back and drowning him in kisses before finally meeting his lips. All she could think was I love you, I love you, I love you.
