Laurence x Reader

Afraid

Y/N's POV

We are still up in the tree, unfortunately. I laid my head on Laurence's shoulder and he wrapped his arms around my waist so I didn't fall. The noises had died down but it's hard to tell if it's safe or not, since we're so high up. It was hard to tell if the wolves were still down below, since it's so dark too..

I puffed out a breath of air and looked in front of me, I saw fireflies buzzing around the trees. I also saw a mother bird in its nest with its wing around an egg and a smaller bird.  They looked like little Sparrows. I smiled softly and looked up towards Laurence.

He noticed me staring and looked back down at me as my face became a pinky colour. He glanced at my facial features and I stared into his beautiful emerald eyes. Without warning he swiftly connected our lips and my eyes widened at little. My cheeks became a darker shade of pink as I was surprised.

I realised what happened and closed my eyes wrapping my arms around his neck. He cupped my cheeks which were quite warm. I separated us for a brief moment for air and then kissed him again.

This time he was soft and gentle, not as demanding as before. He was being patient with me, but sooner or later that changed. He removed his hands from my face and set them on my waist, moving me onto his lap. My cheeks were now burning and I felt a little bit nervous.

He bit my lip softly just as before and I parted them slowly. He looked at me and I saw those beautiful green orbs once again. I closed my eyes tightly from being embarrassed and I felt small tears brim to the corners of my eyes. He chuckled softly at my behaviour and that just made me more embarrassed.

The small tears fell from my eyes down my face but before they had even escaped my eyes, Laurence had already wiped them away. I opened my eyes slowly and saw him looking at me intently, but I just shut my eyes again. My heart is pounding right now, so incredibly loud I think he can hear it.

Our tongues swirled around one another and my hands felt shaky, I removed them from  around his neck and hesitantly ran them through his hair. I felt a tsunami of emotions. I felt nervous, scared, and embarrassed all at once. I felt his tongue guide it's way all around the inside of my mouth with confidence, and I was just there afraid.

I pulled apart from him and set my burning face on his chest. He stroked my (hair colour) locks and I shivered a little, even though I was wearing my jacket I wasn't cold. Why was I shivering then? He must of felt me shivering and he just chuckled, almost inaudible.

There was a silence after that, besides the slight breeze that quietly swept past us. I opened my eyes slowly, being welcomed to darkness.

"I'm scared..." I mumbled quietly into his chest.

"Of what exactly?" He questioned me, I bit my lip. I took a moment to respond and my face flushed once again.

"What ever is down there, and..." I stopped and he sighed.

"Of me?" He asked, I was worried and didn't know how to react.

"No, no, no!- well... kind of, I don't know..." I sighed and he sharply took in a breath of air;

"What do mean 'kind of'...?" I looked up at him and he tilted his head a fraction, making his hair bounce slightly. I went to speak but closed my mouth and looked in a different direction. My face flushed against my will once more.

"Are you gonna tell me or do we have to play 20 questions?" He questioned with a sigh. I just felt bad, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything.

"Do you mean.... because I'm a Shadow Knight?" I shook my head.

"I'm a Shadow Knight as well you know." I said a bit irritated.
