Liberation [completed]

Avery Billiard- Mia

"I love you, Mia," Asher tells me pulling away from me, then he returned to kissing me, "I love you so much," he says happily, "I love you with every cell in my body baby," he confesses with so much pride and sincerity before he returns to kissing me again. I was so happy but scared that he was reciprocating the same feelings to me, I was giggling and crying all at once. I pull him closer to me hugging him to me, I was so full of love for him, I couldn't find any room in my body to feel any other emotion.

"Say it again baby," he asks with need, he was so close to me, I could smell his distinct scent and feel his warm breath on my face.

"I love you, Asher, I love you so much, I get breathless just thinking about it and I could cry if I thought about it too much," I tell him loudly and honestly, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably and I grin up at him.

Asher shifts us so that I was sitting on him now, I look down and see him studying me before he leans up and kisses every part of my face. Even the parts that were tear-stained. Telling Asher how I truly felt was so freeing and liberating. I felt like my wings had finally been unclipped and I could fly again. It took a lot in me to trust him with that amount of hope and faith. I didn't want to disappoint myself, I couldn't stand another disappointment in my life. I just knew it. And putting all that trust in Asher was huge. Yet, as I looked down at him, I could tell he would try his best to not screw this up.

"I love you," he tells me again as a holds my face in his strong firm hands.

"I love you too," I tell him giggling. Saying it each time made my heart soar higher and my spirits lift up further. It was such a beautiful moment. It felt as though was telling him something we both had already known but now that it was out there, it was a promise for more. 

"I promise Mia, I won't let you down. I swear it" he vows, making me cry harder.

I push myself down against him and hug him tightly. I wanted to tell him what it meant to me when I said I loved him and I tried to form the words to express what I imagined for him.

I feel kisses pepper my stomach and I move up my body and I am pulled out from the perfect dream I was having. When I realised it had actually happened, I smile even more at the happy dream.

"What are you smiling about" Asher's voice whispers close to my ear.

I open my eyes and stretch out, "I had a good nightmare" I tell him.

"What was it this time?" He asks me curiously and excitedly. I had a good night's sleep tonight, no scares in the middle of the night. 

"You said you loved me," I tell him faking a sad tone. 

Asher grins at me proudly and happily, "Well, I have some bad news for you. I still do. I might love you more now, it keeps evolving every day..." He confesses in an amused tone.

"Damn, so I'm living a nightmare then" I frown happily at him.

Asher growls at me and pulls me into him, his arms hold me to him as he kisses my neck and the back of my ear. "If you hate being kissed and fucked then yeah, I guess so," He says pushing his hips up to me.

"You have work!" I tell him sternly and pushing away from him.

"I can take the day off" He murmurs and tries to kiss me. I knew if he did, we'd never leave the bed in time for him to get to work.

"No! You're going to work today, tomorrow's Saturday, and you'll come home later and we can kiss all you want later" I tell him taking his arm off my body and rolling out of bed.
