A Spring Times Kiss: An Imperial Love Prequel

Chapter Fourteen

Moments have passed and Jamie was still in that cottage with Isla, he was snuggled up next to her, holding her for dear life, almost like the world was about to end. And Isla felt safe, it was the safest that she had felt in her entire life.

But he knew one moment, they would have to return back, but he didn't want to and neither did she. They both just didn't know what was next. Jamie continued to gently kiss her lips, and Isla smiled looking at him.

"You feeling alright?" Jamie asked her,

"I don't want to let go of you." Isla said,

"Me neither, you're not leaving my arms for a while... you know that..." Jamie whispered kissing her forehead trying to make her feel safe. Jamie also had felt safe in her presence, he felt like a man that he never thought he would ever become. He never wanted his time with Isla to end. He didn't want her to leave his arms. He wouldn't let her.

"Are you ever going to plan on going back to war?" Isla asked him,

"I don't know yet..." Jamie answered, "If I am asked to I might have to," 

"I wish I could come with you," Isla whispered,

"I know you do..." Jamie said to her gently, and then kissed her on the forehead, "You know we are going to have to go back eventually, we will have to face Mabel... and everyone else..."

Isla started to think about what would happen if Cal, her boss found her. If he found out that she was leaving and skipping work to spend time with Jamie. Jamie then wondered if George and Frederick would ever find him with her. But he would be prepared if anything were to ever happen. 

Jamie would never admit this to anyone but he was scared, he was scared of the future and most importantly he was scared he wasn't going to get out of this war alive. He was also scared of not being good enough to be put back in the military. But he knew he hadn't had a drink in forever. But he knew he hadn't had a drink in forever. So he also felt as if he had nothing to worry about. As long as he was with Isla, he had nothing to worry about.

She was going to be the reason for him to keep going.

"You know something..." Jamie started to say, "I came here with the purpose of becoming a better man...and I didn't think I would need someone to help me do that... and all I have to say is thank you for helping me with that." 

Isla just didn't think about what she had to say next, she felt herself tearing up. She didn't think that she would ever have made an impact in someone else's life. Jamie just felt complete, with Isla in his life. He finally understood who he was supposed to be with in the end. He didn't think about anything else that had happened, whether it was his situation with Ciera or the fact that he had hurt Mabel, he was just thinking about Isla. His Sweet Darling Isla. 

He just wanted to kiss her again, and he did. He kissed her more passionately than ever before and Isla was giving into the kiss and started to think about everything that the two of them went through. How Isla was saved by Jamie, but she ended up saving him at the end of it all. 

"I know you said I saved you," Isla said, "But it also started by you saving me..."

"I know..." Jamie added, "But it was you in the end..."

Isla just leaned in closer to him and found herself in his arms. She wanted it to last forever, Isla didn't remember the last time she had felt this safe in someone's arms. Especially when Jamie wanted her to stay away from him at the beginning of when they first met. 

But somehow the two of them found their way to each other, and there they were now, the two of them in each other's arms, laying in bed together undressed, showing their love for one another, and it was beautiful. It was a beautiful feeling for them both.
