Thought/Flashback/Dream

Chapter 15

In a short time, a fire lit the cave where they where. It was a cave that had signs of human presence; an old wooden chest was found in one of the darkest corners, Elmont could see ashes where it was lit the fire, in the ground were footprints that belong to humans.

"It seems that someone uses this cave..." said Elissa.

"It could be bandits or the place where two lovers find peace to be alone" He try to joke and Elissa smile, the truth was that the same cave they were had witness so many things and Elissa was curious but she wouldn't receive any answers even if she ask. Elissa keep her eyes on him as he tries to take of his armor, the fire keep flickering making stir the shadows in the walls. She was sitting in the ground her arms around herself, it was a cold night, and if she looks at the strait entrance Elissa could see the moon. Elmont had left the horses close to the entrance.

Elissa wonder how could he had seen the entrance of the cave, it was hidden from view, and she was certain that most of the people would pass by the cave and wouldn't see but not Elmont.

Elmont had left the horses close to the entrance. The captain looks at her, he could see the way Elissa's arms were around her and he knew she was cold. The knight stood up and approaches the wooden chest and opens, inside he could see a sword some blankets and even arrows and bows. When he kneels beside her he gently put blanket around her shoulders that he had found in the chest.

"How could you keep warm at night when you were riding?" Elissa smile as she look at him.

"I don't know, I never felt cold actually" he kisses her forehead as he move to the other side of the fire.

"Are you tired?"

"Maybe…" he chuckle.

"It's better if you rest…" He softly says.

Elmont was struggling to take of the armor, it was turning heavy by the minute as he turn more tired. His hands keep slipping from the armor every time he tries to take some piece of and every time he groans slightly. Before him was the fire and Elissa, that was smiling to him. Elissa stand up with the blanket around her shoulders and she kneels behind him, softly touching his hands to make him know that she will help him.

"Since do you have knowledge about armors?" he whispers when she takes of his breastplate and a deep breath was release. Her hands were so gentle that he almost didn't feel her touch but it was there, he could feel a fire rising in him.

"I have my armor even if most of the time I don't use…"

"Yes, I remember now." He chuckle to himself, Elissa move in front of him and free his arms from the armor. Elmont smile and pull her thought him and then he kiss her as he make her sit in his lap. She smile, she could feel her desire begging to grow inside of her just be been close to him and the look in his eyes where full of want. His hand travel to her hair and face as he memory every inch of her face. "You so beautiful tell me how I can control himself around you when I can do this…" he place a simple kiss in her lips. When he pull away she follow his lips but didn't kiss him, instead she rest her forehead against his. It was so good feel him against her.

"We could run and leave everything behind…" Elmont smile tender to her.

"It would be the easiest way… Could you leave and left Isabelle all by herself?" The princess sign.

Elissa wanted to say yes, wanted to say that no matter what she felt she wouldn't look behind, but if she said it, she would lie. Elmont smile as he trace his fingertips over her lips and felt her shudder lightly, he knew that she couldn't and to tell the truth he couldn't either but it was tempting him and he couldn't deny it. Forgetting everything, forgetting that the love they feel was, by rules, forbidden and lives like they wanted to live, with one another was a dream.

"I couldn't…" she whisper "…it wouldn't be the right thing to do"

"I know" she reach and ran her fingers through his already tousled hair and make it stand up even more than what was already, she love to simply feel the softness around her fingers.

"Why is your hair always tousled and up?" he smile tender and a memory came to his mind, a young woman smiling with a blush working its way to her cheeks.

"I always used like that, never had the patience and… Well, one day a young woman said to me… How charming and handsome I was with the hair like this…" Elissa blush and hidden her face in his neck. "And from that day I always thought it would be nice if I continue with the hair this way…" Elmont was talking about her; it was Elissa that had told him when she had found the courage.

"I really didn't remember that I said it to you…" He chuckle and she smile, his arms wrap around her waist bringing her closer to his body if was possible.

"But I remember, I remember the way you were blushing and the smile that was playing in your face and before you leave, you kiss my cheek for the first time. I treasure that simple memory." She felt his goatee against her neck and Elissa whisper.

"You are a wonderful man…" She loved the way her skin tickles just with the feeling of his goatee brushing against the side of her neck, his hot breath and she couldn't control her body, she couldn't stop shivering. One of her hand rest in the back of his neck as Elissa closes her eyes tight.

"Am I?" he murmur against her neck and Elissa release a breath that she didn't know was holding. He doubt it, he had kill, had taken lives of various tips of men, evil and innocent men. Young men that in his eyes were simple children, Elders and even... He didn't like to remember.

Slowly one of his hands reaches for the blanket and put around her.

"Of course you are, what makes you think otherwise?" Elmont only smile, she could feel the heat that came from his body and she wanted to kiss him but he keep brushing his goatee against her neck, softly and slowly. Every time she felt his goatee her body shudders and her lips tremble. A soft sound came from her lips. "Elmont…"

"Hmn…" Elissa closed her eyes as a shiver of electricity passed through her entire body. With trembling hands Elissa felt his soft hair, awareness tightening her skin, blood flowing thick and hot, like lava, in her veins. It was driving her mad the simple feeling.

"You could… stop…" the true reality was that Elissa didn't want to stop him from doing that gesture, it felt so good and rise a heat in her, she didn't know what she could do… She wanted him to kiss her with passion "Kiss me Elmont… Please just kiss me." Elissa whispers. Elmont look at her eyes and saw her need, he couldn't deny the need he was feeling to taste her since she was in his lap, every time that she felt her body shudder against his, his desire increment.

Elmont slid his hand in her hair and brings her closer to his body that was on top on him. She felt his mouth upon hers, hot and demanding and she responded, surprising herself greatly and even more so, Elmont. But she felt hot. The heat enveloped her, so different from the other kiss. This heat lit up the very tips of her fingertips and spurred her on. She wrapped her arms around Elmont's neck pulling herself closer to him. She relished the feel of his hands sliding to her hips, slowly like he was trying to persist in his mind the feeling of her body and heat, the way that every time Elissa pull herself close to him. She couldn't think about anything, Elmont's grip on her hips tightened as he press her body to his. The blanket slips and remains in the ground forgotten. Her hands moved in his hair, she wanted to feel it; she wanted to feel all of him. And then she moans, Elmont love the sound that came from her mouth. Then they part abruptly. Elmont face was full of passion and his beautiful eyes were burning. His breathing was ragged, and her face was flushed.

"Elissa, I must not be tempted." His eyes burned, matching the heat already inundating her body, he groaned as he drops his head resting in her shoulder. He was using every bit of willpower he possessed to restrain himself. He need to take this slowly, she could regret everything in the morning and realize how much she was making a mistake. He began to move her away from him but she stops him.

"You don't want to stop…" it wasn't a question and he knew. "I trust you unreservedly, Elmont…" she heard herself say, she kiss him again, her heart rate picking up speed. All Elmont could focus was in Elissa, her scent filling his lungs, her body against his, the heat.

Elmont pulls away.

"Oh Elissa, I think we better stop" he said, his voice hoarse full of desire, his gaze settled fully on her, eyes seeming to penetrate into her soul, and warmth flashed over her skin. With her arms around his neck Elissa softly kissed his cheek. He closed his eyes as he shiver. "Or I will lose control and I'm sure you don't want that to happen…" He was showing her his desire and that make her feel powerful.

"Elmont"

"You don't realize what you do to me, my love" he says softly. Elissa smile as he calls her Love. She like the sound of the word in his mouth…

He look at her and realize how easily could lose himself in her beautiful grey eyes. Here, where he was, in the cave with Elissa, he was thinking about love. How much he loved her. The last thing he wanted to do was rush everything. He knew it would be good, and his whole body ached from the wanting of it but it wasn't the right decision, he had no right to dishonor her. Her eyes were pleading but he had to say no, he was going to say no. He kisses her softly as she reached up and raked her fingers through his hair.

"My Love…"

"Love…" she whisper tasting the word in her mouth. A big smile was present in her face.

"There is something of amusement?" Elmont lay her down slowly and then he lay himself besides her bringing her close to his body.

"You call me love…" he opens his mouth to say something but she shakes her head "I like the way it sounds… Love"

"You need to rest…" he said as he reached for the blanket beside her and put it around them, the light keep flickering and every time the flame grows smaller by the minute.

"I don't what to sleep Elmont. I want to enjoy every single moment that I have with you…" He was on his back; his arm wrap around her waist, Elmont pulled her to him until her head rested comfortably on his chest. Elissa embraces him. "Until the moment when we have to go back, until the moment we have to be what everyone expects us to be."

"Everything will be okay" he said as he stoked her hair, the feel of his hands was relaxing her. Elissa knew he wasn't sure but it was comfortable hear those simple words. He loved the feel of her body against his. She seemed to mold to his body like she was made for him. Every luscious curve conformed to him. He felt her body start to relax against him.

"Elmont?"

"Hmm?"

"I realize that I don't know much about you past Elmont." He smile

"You know me; my past doesn't interfere in my job or my love for you. Love, you don't need to know the past from one person to know her." Elissa raise her head and look at his eyes, she could read the thoughts and emotions he was feeling, Elissa understand he wasn't ashamed from his past or disgusted by it, it was his actions that he wasn't proud of and the past still haunted him.

"I can ask later…" he shakes his head.

"My family…" he whisper, he truly miss them greatly, with all the work he had, all the worries that fill his mind he didn't have time to visit them and he almost fear the next time he would see his mother. "…what do you what to know?" Elissa pull herself closer to him, one of her arms around his waist.

"Everything if you what to tell… but not just about your family…" he smile and kiss her gently in her forehead, Elissa smile and presses her lips gently to his before resting her head on his chest once more and closed her eyes. Elissa felt his fingertips caressing softly her face, tracing her cheek, nose and lips and she sign. She shudders lightly against his touch.

"I'm the younger of two sons and I always grow up with my brother and parents" Elissa smile when she look to him "When I was young I would always run away to found Crawe and we would train with wooden swords swearing that we would turn knights one day" Elissa giggle imaging the two knights. "My mother never like the idea … My father was the one to accept my dream… and he support me since de begging. The dream was mine and of Crawe…"

"I knew you had a great friendship with Crawe but I never thought you would know him from your childhood."

"He had been always my friend since the begging, he is the brother that I choose to have. He is the best friend I could have. You know, Crawe said he had the urge to hit me just because I was an idiot… All he said to me, every word, I have to say he was right" he lift her head, his lips brushing against hers and then he kiss her, softly, slowly, gently. Elissa closed her eyes, feeling his lips against her as his hand caresses her face, she could feel his heartbeat.

Elmont turn his body so he could face her, it was getting dark inside the cave the fire was starting to extinguish. He brings her closer, his chin resting in the top of her head and fixes the blanket around them.

"Elmont?"

"Yes, Love?"

"I love you and I want to be with you even if I have to deceive my father…" Elmont brushes his lips against her forehead.

"Shhh…Love… I love you Elissa. You're my end and my beginning. I will wait for you if I have to, I will fight for you if I have a chance to and no matter what, I will always be there for you. You can rely on me, I promise you that I will believe in you" Elissa lifted her head slightly to regard him with a gentle smile.

"Hear those words mean so much to me" she presses her lips gently to his before resting her head on his chest once more and closed her eyes. With her head resting in his chest she could hear his heartbeat and sign deeply, "Don't believe in me, believe in us." Elissa whisper, Elmont keep caressing her face, her skin so soft, she was a dream.

What link them was a profound appreciation of what it means to be alive but most of all, the love they felt, the shared urge to reach out to one another, to offer warmth. Elissa needed understanding, Forgiveness and Love and Elmont need to be Accept by her, he needed the love she wanted to give to him, he needed to feel her close and know that her heart would belong to him and only him. It's was dark but they feel each other's breath and they know all they need to know. They didn't want to remember what torment them; they didn't want to remember what each one where, they would deal with it when the time comes. They kiss. And if there was anybody to see them, then they would look like normal lovers, a normal couple. Caressing each other's faces, bodies close together, and eyes closed. Oblivious to the world around them because what matter was just the other and that's all they need for now.

Tell me how do you feel about this chapter.
