Cat Eyes: Sirius [Book 1]

Chapter 47: Coming Back to Reality

Sirius' POV

I caressed my lady while she maintained her slight smile with closed eyes, very relaxed and happy. We didn't have 'sex,' as she called it, but we did immerse ourselves in a looong session of kissing and caressing. Without realizing it, we had started talking about ourselves.

It was another way of making love, without a doubt.

"That's why, in some way, seeing my aunt with her children and the family gatherings during holy days made me want to have a big family, too," she told me. I loved listening to her and knowing about her life before me five years ago. "Then, when I felt lonely, remembering it made me want it more. However, for a while, I gave up because of work... But now, with you," She looked at me. "You know. You know I want everything with you."

"You know I want the same." I thought for a second. "Well, five years ago, I... Well, I was fifteen, and..." And Marien laughed and moved away a little. "What?"

"Don't make me remember that while I was already a twenty-year-old woman thinking about family, you were still a teenager, playing around," she said, laughing. "Gosh, I'm old!"

I laughed, too, and shook my head.

"Hey, you're not old. Besides, at fifteen, I also had to think about my future. Here, it's like that," I calmed her down and kissed her.

She sighed long and looked at me, "Can I ask a stupid question?" That seemed strange to me. "What made you fall in love with me? What did you like about me? Like, when you saw me..."

"Your sweetness," I answered without delay and smiled as I remembered that moment. "The light and peace that you transmitted to me. Your innocent look was so different from the looks of suspicion and hatred of others. My mind, always alert, went completely silent as soon as I saw you." She smiled and caressed my chest. "Then, of course, that feeling of freedom that just having you around gave me... Also, I must admit that finding you beautiful was something new and fresh, too," I finished. "I don't understand. That's not a stupid question," I assured her sweetly.

She gave a soft chuckle.

"Yeah, well. It's usually younger girls who ask something like this, aside from the fact that it's considered silly by many people. It's just that since you haven't grown up in human society, I guess your vision is different... And, of course, your answer has also been different." She kissed me. "But that's what fascinates me about you."

"Oh, I see." I continued stroking her hair. "What about you? What did you like about me?"

She bit her bottom lip.

"I'm a little embarrassed to admit my answer is a bit human, but... The first thing I liked about you was your eyes." She shrugged, pursing her lips, and I laughed silently. "But I fell in love with you as I got to know you, even after seeing that you were an evolved man." She ran her index finger over my chest. "You and your innocent questions... The purity of your mind."

"My purity?" I shook my head with amusement. "You're the one that is pure."

She laughed again.

"I'm not so sure about that anymore." Her hand continued to lower, and I took a deep breath.

"If you don't believe you are, then I'm even less so," I purred, bringing her against me and squeezing the back of her thigh.

She bit my lower lip with some force that stole my breath.

"Well, I think we both changed."

"Yes, that's exactly what I think," I said enthusiastically. We were connected.
