Reborn Deceit

CHAPTER THREE

Rose

"I was starting to think you weren't going to join me."

His voice startled me and my eyes flew open to see I was standing in a small field. The day was beautiful, the sun shining in long streams, warming my skin and growing a smile on my face. The long green grass was the purest of colors, bright and lively as it swayed in the soft wind. Flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors sprang up out of the green nature blanket. Directly in front of me sat a small pond where a breathtaking waterfall was flowing its bright blue water into. A large tree stood tall to my right, its wide branches draping almost half of the meadow in shade.

I had no idea how I got there, but I smiled as I looked around. This was my favorite spot in the entire world. Not even the most magnificent party in the grandest city could compare to the natural beauty of this small piece of heaven on earth. And my favorite person in the entire world was here with me.

He was lying in the shade of the big oak tree, one leg resting on the other and his left arm bent under his head. His sapphire eyes roamed over me, causing a stirring in the bottom on my stomach. Glancing down at my outfit, I noticed my dress was a simple grey-blue color, cinched around my waist and flowing down to the ground. The sleeves slid down my arms, then flared at my elbows, forming a big triangle as the material nearly stopped to meet the hem of the dress.

"Come lay with me, moyata kralista." He said, motioning me towards him with his free hand. Without permission from my brain, my feet began to flow towards him, but I didn't fight it. I would never fight it.

When I reached him his hand came up, grasping mine and pulling me down onto the earthly blanket beside him. He rolled me over so I was on my side facing him and without any warning he leaned in, capturing my lips with his.

Instantly the wind picked up, rustling the leaves above of us and moving the grass around us, and sending my hair flying in all directions. My body quickly became an inferno, burning everywhere he touched me. Our racing heartbeats synchronized, adding an alluring rhythm to the already hypnotic moment.

He pulled away but only left a fraction of a centimeter between us. His hand cupped the side of my face and my body completely pressed up against his. His lashes fluttered through the air and at that moment all I wanted was to lay soft kisses on his eyelids.

"Do you feel that?" He whispered, his eyes looking deep into mine.

I simply nodded my head, not trusting my voice to express everything I was feeling. How does one honestly put love into words? I had yet to figure that out, even with all my years on earth.

"On our own, we're two of the most powerful beings." He whispered, his thumb rubbing the side of my face. "But together," he continued, placing another quick heated kiss on my lips, "together, we are unstoppable." And with that his lips came to crash onto mine, causing a small gasp to escape me as I clung to him with every part of me.

My world exploded as I lay against his body, his arms hugging me, promising protection and strength. I ran my hands through his hair, my toes curling as he shattered my thoughts with his lips.

The love I had for this man was beyond words. Every minute with him was a world-colliding, soul touching, devastatingly perfect moment. We were made for each other, in every sense of the phrase.

And together, we were going to protect the world.

They say that recurring dreams are your soul's way of reflecting on unresolved issues in your life. Rose always found that puzzling, seeing as her recurring dreams came from a time long before she was alive, and involved people that she could not seem to decipher.
