The words left her mouth softly intertwined with innocence and passion as she felt Druig take the last step, leaving little space between their bodies. Hands still gripping at his coat, Gabriella felt the prickling feeling intensifying as he reaches his other hand to slowly run his fingers through her hair. With both hands now resting lightly on either side of her face keeping her eyes locked with his, Gabriella felt the beating of heart quicken as Druig gently leant towards her.

It felt like everything fell into place when his lips met hers, the kiss soft at first, delicate, filled with longing as Gabriella's hands clutched tighter at his coat to pull him closer. With her eyes shut tightly, she felt herself forget about the world around them as she focused on Druig lips, the warmth of his skin against hers.

There was no words to describe how much this moment meant to her, hoping he felt the same, her breath catching as his lips parted from hers only for a second before returning quickly. Feeling his lips again, they hungrily pushed against hers more firmly than before as she happily obliged and allowed him to deepen the kiss, his movements hypnotising.

So focused on his lips, Gabriella had not noticed the loss of one of his hands from her face as she found it had moved to her lower back. Although his touch usually gentle, the hand now pulling her closer held her stubbornly as if to show he wished her to not leave it again, the other thumbing softly over her cheek and the corner of her mouth.

She had no idea how long they kissed, before she felt his lips curl into a smile still against hers. Feeling his hand part from her back, Druig leaves a final soft kiss against her lips before finally pulling back after what seemed a lifetime, his smile baring his teeth in amusement. Snapping back into reality, Gabriella's eyes fluttered open as she notices him watching her and she felt the heat in her cheeks return. Without moving from her, Druig chuckles quietly as the hand on the side of her face moves to trace her jaw before dropping to reach for her hand which had slipped from his waist.

"My, my," Druig whispers, his voice waving slightly as he adjusts to ruining the silence, "how interesting."

"Interesting?" Gabriella chokes out softly, finding her own voice nervous and parched as Druig's smile widens as he hums in response.

"I mean, I am lost for words, I didn't think I could be lost for words. So, it's simply interesting."

Watching him respond softly as his free hand moves to run through his hair, Gabriella observes Druig as his eyes look distant as he thinks to himself before looking back at her. Noticing that she was looking at him, he places his hand against her shoulder to pull her into his chest, feeling her willingly moving with his touch.

"How do you feel?" His voice is soft as she feels his hand draw lines up and down her back as he held her, "you've wanted to kiss me for a while now, right?"

"I," Gabriella feels her words catch at the back of her throat as she shivers at his touch, feeling happy her face was buried against his chest, "did you, I mean, how long have you wanted to kiss me?
