Chapter 87: In A Perfect World

*All You Had To Do Was Stay by Taylor Swift*

*Before You Go by Archers*

*Sebastian POV*

"What did you want to be when you grew up?" She asked me.

I looked down at her, admiring her beautiful face. Holding her to my chest, her cool fingers outlining the cuts on my chest from days before. They were doing much better now but occasionally feeling a twitch of pain if I moved in a certain way. But it was tolerable.

"Hmmm.... I don't know, I'll have to think about that. What about you, hm?" I asked her, kissing her warm forehead. Her naked body laid out over mine as her head laid against me. Holding the pillow behind my head as our eyes just focused on the moonlight coming through the window above.

I had brought her to meet the stars many times this night. Finally finding the need to rest since we were both exhausted from our activities. But I wouldn't have it any other way. We had a lot of time to make up for.

"I don't know, I always wanted to help people. I felt like- at one point, I was good at it." She said.

I twirled her hair in between my fingers, hearing her hum in approval.

"And now?" I asked.

She sighed, "Now.... I'm not so sure. Seems like the only ones I want to tolerate are you, Ominis and Anne."

I chuckled, "Oh come on love, you can't be telling me now the world has now gone to shit. I'm just getting back into it."

She looked up at me, those bright blue eyes shining ever so bright, like crystal blue waters in a tropical world. Waiting for me to swim in them.

"No.... but the world has changed. People don't forgive as easily, they don't care about morals or what's good in the heart. But...." She reached, running her finger down my face, "..... maybe someone that's already come from darkness can find some light again."

"You think so?" I asked.

She smiled, "I do now."

Merlin, she was a goddess. Completely unworthy of her touch and the fact she is giving me another chance to prove my worth meant the world to me.

But the fact is, I don't know if I can keep her here. No matter how many times I worship her or send her to the stars tonight, she might still decide to leave.

I rubbed her cheek in my hold, feeling such softness, perfection. To think I could have had this earlier. I'll forever kick myself for being so utterly stubborn and not having my emotions or head in check.

Fuck.

"What is it?" She asked quietly, leaning into my touch.

"I just-... wish I had come to my senses earlier. Could have saved us such heartache in the long run. And-..." I smirked, "...would have had you in my bed earlier too."

She pinched me playfully on my cheek.

"That might be true!" She kissed me, leaning over me and laying directly on my chest. Our lips danced underneath the moonlight, my tongue slipping right inside her mouth with no hesitation. She tasted like pure honey, diving in deeper with each flick of my tongue. She was so divine.

She pulled back suddenly, running her hand down my face and pushing my hair back from my face.

"I'd still have it no other way though. You being here with me-... means absolutely the world to me."

Shit.

"Then don't go." I whispered. "Stay with me...... we don't even have to go home, we can stay here and leave everything else behind."

Her eyes softened at my words, coming up to peck a kiss on my lips. Savoring her.

She breathed, "In a perfect world, Sebastian.... in a perfect world........"

We starred at each other for a moment. Just letting our eyes do the telling for once.

In a perfect world, I wouldn't have resorted to the dark arts. I wouldn't have killed my uncle which led me ultimately to Azkaban.

In a perfect world, I wouldn't have blamed Alora for my wrong doings.

In a perfect world, I wouldn't have made her hurt the way it did.

In a perfect world, she would be staying here with me. Choosing me. Instead of choosing herself.

For once, I had no one to blame but my god damn self.

I reached up, grasping her hair in my hand behind her scalp. Pulling her back down to my mouth.

If this was truly the last time she was mine, I'd make it such an end, she'd never be able to forget me.

She moaned in my mouth, opening for me. Sliding her body down once again so I was sitting right at her entrance. Waiting patiently for me to continue.

She wanted me. She wanted to see the stars again.

She pulled back just enough to breathe, centimeters from my lips. Breathing heavy, "Take me Sebastian, I'm yours." She pleaded.

I would, I would over and over till the world around us would wake from the sun. For the sun, can't stay in the darkness for long. For all things, come back to the light.
