Cuddling up into his chest, Cassia stared down at their hands that were interlocked. Her thumb traced at the skull tattoo that was in her direct view, the sound of his soft breathing filling her ears.
"Cassia...get up, I got to go." He urged, attempting to push her body off of him again, but she refused to let go. Detaching their hands from being connected, she wrapped her left arm around his torso while dragging the rest of her body to lay directly on top of him. Reaching up, she grabbed both sides of his face in her hands with her bottom lip poked out.
"You don't even have to leave, you're choosing to leave and I don't want you to go." Sitting up a little bit, he rested his large right hand on her back so he could pull her body up with his. Adjusting her position, Cassia flipped her legs forward so that they could wrap around his waist while still sitting in a straddling position.
"Cassia-."
"Baby please" She begged, her arms wrapping around his neck as she rested her head on his shoulder.
She hated times like these where he would have to leave out for what he described as business. But she wasn't dumb, she knew exactly what 'business' meant, and it terrified her. Especially when his leavings were so sudden and unplanned.
"You already know how this go, the faster you let me go, the faster imma be back." Gaining no response from her, Cepheus let out a small breath. Tapping her back lightly, he used his free hand to attempt to pry her arms from around him, but it wasn't working and he didn't want to hurt her by being too rough. "Baby...look at me."
Hesitantly, Cassia raised her head from his shoulder to be eye leveled with him. Giving her a small smile, he grabbed the back of her neck to pull her face closer towards his, their lips pressing together to engage in a slow, but passionate kiss. Her eyes closed with his on hers, his tongue swiping at her bottom lip to request access that she wasn't hesitant in granting. Parting her lips slightly, she allowed him to shoot his tongue into her mouth, their tongues twisting together through the kiss, Cassia's eyes finally opening to stare into his.
"I don't want you to get hurt Cepheus." She whispered, her eyes glossing up at the thought alone. Taking a deep sigh, he carefully flipped their bodies so that he hovered over her, her legs still wrapped around him. Leaning down he connected their lips again, that seeming like the only possible way to get her to be quiet and calm down.
"And I'm not going to-."
"But how do you know? Can you just stay here...please. Why can't someone else do it for you?" He could see and hear how frantic she was in her voice and face, and he wouldn't act like he didn't feel terrible because he did. However it was only but so much he could say to her when what he had to handle was urgent.
