M - they cut me down to size

...short. I fail. Derp.

Though days had passed, and they turned into weeks, Caillen Winters held no anger for the Lykoi princess. It seemed she could do no wrong. Such a position was odd for Talitha; more often, she did everything wrong, and her family suffered for her stupidity. It was only at that moment, in the arms of the over-sized outsider, that she realized her life was not meant for the distress she so frequently felt. With Caillen, all was well. If only the moments could last longer, but she could not stay with him forever. Inferni was her home, and what was more, her brother had finally returned to her; if she disappeared, she had no doubts that the golden prince would follow her.

Living in the moment was all that could be done for the Princess and her pauper. Never before had she yearned for the contact of another; certainly not another past the skulls. Caillen transcended her prejudice. The wolfdog pushed away all love felt for others. In his presence, she saw the world much differently; perhaps Gabriel and Faolin had not been wrong to be so close. The term "mate" had held negative connotations since the war, but the Winters male was almost able to push them aside.

Her request was made in the hopes that she could draw out the moment, stop time somehow and be with him forever, when reality kept them apart. All at once, a rumbling rose in his chest and white teeth glinted in the dusk light. He couldn't deny her wish, he said, and it brought about the most relieved expression ever present upon russet features. She wouldn't lose him that night, and damn if the eventual rise of the sun would destroy the joy that built in her chest. Frail arms twisted about his bare neck, nose pressing gently against his cheek. Strange as she believed it to be, crystal tears welled up before crimson eyes. "I've missed you," she murmured, voice taking on the rasp of depression that occurred with crying.
