It was very rare to catch Azriel in one of these moments. Where he wasn't training, on a mission, being the spy master or sorting a matter out. Where he was peaceful and in his own space. Sitting on the ledge of the window, comfortably reading a book. The sight of it alone was enough for you to catch your breath. His dark black-blue hair glimmering in the golden sunlight. His hazel eyes grossly into the book. His shadows moving around him soundly. His body relaxed, sitting back with his legs dangling off the ledge. His black- grey trousers and black top tightly around his toned body. It was hot enough for him being him. But Azriel reading a book?! It made you yearn for him even more. Make you want to nest between his arms, and lay back into his chest. Hearing his heart beat and his breaths while you read the book with him. Taking in his scent. His warmth. Making him yours and only yours. You move closer in his direction but stop to admire him even more. His concentration on the book, made you giggle. "Is this how I look when I read this intensely" she thought. As if he had heard her thoughts. Azriel lifted his eyes from the page and found their way to you. He was grinning. "You alright there love? Stare at me any longer and you might let your eyes fall out." He chuckles. His laugh made your legs weak. Wanting to bottle that laughter and hear it all the time. His smile and laugh made you feel intoxicated. You smile back "Maybe they fell out because your making me blind with that hideous top." You lied. You love his clothing. They were just perfect on him. You stuck you tongue out.
"You wouldn't be blind if you stopped staring at me that way. And in answer to your question. Yes you do look funny when you read books intensely too" grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
Your face goes red as you realise he could hear every thought you conjured. *shit did I leave my shields down*
As if in answer Azriel windows to you and grips your wrist
"Yes love. I heard all of it. How you went to nest in my arms and read with me" he towered over her. So close she could feel the heat radiating off him. She felt herself going more red by the second. No one has been able to read her or her mind. She always has her shields up and tightly secured. But with him. They seem to come crashing down
He takes her hand and strides back to the spot he vacated. Grabbing her and pulling her in his arms as he sat down and laid back into the windows ledge sofa. You yelped and gave a giggle. Snuggling into his arms and the cosiness of his wings. He dipped in chin in to the side of her neck, breathing in the scent of you. Feeling his breath made you feel wild. You slightly moan at the touch of his lips pressed against your neck
"Not not love. I don't want people to hear the noise. Let's enjoy a bit of this and save how energy for later" he whispered into your ear. He nipped your ear making you smile.
Your mind raced with the thoughts of later than evening"That's fine. I'll just have to keep busy with reading the book with you"
Little did you know that you would both nod off under the sunshine in his arms feeling forever safe.
