Emeralds & Lace (Moved)

Chapter 14

Omg hi, welcome back to me!! (Kinda) So i lied, until my brain decides to work with me, this is gonna be porn (and fluff) with out plot. I'm sorry for those who are reading for whatever loose story they assumed I had going, but hopefully my definitely amazing super good writing will make up for that. Anyway!! On with it!!

Owen's POV

Thera and I laid there for what felt like hours. It was amazing.

Our conversations were few and far between. Whenever thoughts came to mind I said them, and she would respond with another thought she had. But for the most part, I'd was just us enjoying each others' company.

I have not known comfort like this since...

Well. I don't think ever.

The way she breathes, the way her eyes flutter with the strike of thunder, how her hand and nails move up and down my back.

God. Id never think to know comfort like this. To feel so wholly loved and in-love.

God. Being in love.

Being... in love.

In love.

With Ethera.

Thera's POV

As my hands move, making shapes and designs up and down Owens' back, I notice his breathing stills.

I begin to think he's asleep again before I notice his arms tightening around me.

I place one of my hands on his head, before reaching from the base of his neck and traveling until my fingertips meet the top of his head, stuck in his curls.

I gently pick his head up to look at me, tilting my own.

"You okay hun?"

Staring into his eyes, I swear I see them dilate a fraction.

He lets out a low hum, the sound coming deep from his throat.

He drops his head and tries to come ever closer to me.

"G- great Thera. M' great."

A small smily creeps onto my face, and I realize,

God.

This is what it feels like to be adored.

I had nearly forgotten.

As the day went on, we eventually turned on movies to watch and settled impossibly deeper into the couch.

(They're prolly watching venom because I love that movie and I say so.)

Things were calm. Occasionally Owen would make commentary on the movie, and I would just watch as his lips moved and how his eyebrows jumped and his hands talked with him.

He was so expressive.

He's so gorgeous.

"Ah. Sorry... I know you probably want to watch the movie."

He settles back into my side, where he previously was before he started on his tangent about how Eddie and Anne could've worked if Dan wasn't in the way, and how he was really just a distraction.

Turning to look at him, he notices my movement and adjusts out of the way.

I take his cheeks in my hands and squish his face to look at me.
