Just as the kiss was awakening something within Cwmfen, it awoke something within Onus as well. He could feel his heartbeat reverberate throughout his body. It was different from that of physical exertion though, that he knew well. The longer their kiss was drawn out the harder it beat and the more he was able to give himself up to that feeling. Actually letting himself feel this without worrying. He was letting himself get lost in this moment with her and suddenly he wasn't so afraid. Warmth spread throughout his whole body and he was able to forget his pain as well. He knew now that what he felt was more than simple affection. He cared for Cwmfen, cared for her more deeply than he thought he was capable of.
As she pulled away he softly exhaled, dark orbs opening again. Onus found himself missing the touch of her lips, even though her taste still lingered on his tongue. His breathing was deep but steady as he watched her and felt her hand move to rest over his heart. That organ that had so long been dormant was actually beating for more reasons than just to pump his blood. She smiled again, and he would have liked to return the gesture but his face was stuck in a look of awe. Instead the hand that was on her arm reached up to gently brush her cheek, as she had brushed his. The man came to the same realization that she did, and it scared him as much as it scared her. He would never reject her though. For once he had something aside from his mission. While that thought still made him nervous, he knew he didn't want to lose it.
Then her graceful form laid down next to his. He was glad that she wanted to stay and he wanted to let her know that. Carefully her wrapped his good arm around her shoulders to hold her to him. He turned his head, gently pressing his nose against her forehead. Her scent filled his mind and he squeezed her shoulder. There had been times where the man had wondered if he had been wasting his time in these lands, but he didn't think that way now. He had found something here that he had never expected. With her warmth against his side his eyes closed, and he found himself wishing that this moment wouldn't end.
