Kisten kissed me again, and this time I openly moaned at this painless embrace. It had been so long since I had last been able to touch my love without the Oath punishing me, and, from this moment on, I could finally touch him as much as I wanted.
“You seem in a daze,” his voice snapped my mind back to the present and I took him in, my eyes searching for a reason to believe this wasn’t real. I ran my fingers through his hair, careful to be gentle and he closed his eyes for a moment, sighing with contentment. “Change your mind?”
“I… I honestly don’t know if this is really happening or if I’m dreaming,” I admitted, turning my face away from him. I kept my gaze on a nearby stack of boxes, my thoughts racing. “It seems too much like what we want for it to be real, all things considered.”
