The need to tell her how he felt was so strong that he choked on the words. Not wanting to ruin the spell they were under, he gathered her up in his arms, still joined, and kissed her. It was a soft kiss filled with intention. He tried to convey what he was feeling to her through the contact. She moved her hips and broke apart from him whispering, "I’m on a contraceptive tonic." She looked so vulnerable and perfect, and he vowed to tell her when the time was right. For now, he would live in this moment with her. He would take what she offered and return it in kind.
