Now we were alone. And yet I found myself not knowing what to do. Luckily, Cassandra was the person I was alone with.

"Alone now?" She whispered, voicing my thoughts.

I didn't need to answer. Instead, I pulled her towards me, kissing her as soon as she was close enough. Cassandra tasted of sherbert and warmth and sand between my toes. Her hair cascaded down her back, and I used my fingers to push it up, scrunching it into my fists. I needed Cassandra. How could I have spent the last 156 years without her?

"Cassandra?" I sighed, breaking away a fraction of a millimetre to whisper her name.

"Yes?" She was tracing patterns in my back, my shirt riding up.

"I like you a lot."

"Gee thanks." She giggled.

Her breath tickled my neck. I stroked her cheek again, drawing her closer, closer, until she was mine again. All mine and I wasn't letting go in a hurry.

I heard her heart beating fast as she broke away once more.

"Sit down."She gasped, falling onto her bed.

I did as she said, afraid she was about to tell me to leave.

But she didn't.

She just kissed me again. I muttered words in Italian and French, words of love and lust, passion and fire.

We continued whispering and kissing until the night overcame us, and sleep weighed our eyelids down.
