He smiled assuringly at his beloved before kissing her cheek. He turned his attention back on the laundry he was sorting through.
Elijah packed happily, but slowly. He thought carefully about every item before flawlessly folding them all and putting them in the suitcase.

"I think a lot would be surprised what a great kisser you are." Not that she wants others to find out. In addition, it was a compliment she wished to let him know.
His gaze still had yet to leave Katherine's chocolate irises. Just having her in his sight caused his heart to melt.

"Hey handsome," she stepped closer before she put his arms around his torso and looked up at him. "All important matters arranged?"
Elijah's lips were pressed softly against her own. He hoped in leaving their business unfinished, the feelings would fester in Katherine's mind.
As he kissed her, his fingertips lightly caress the sensitive skin under her jawline. His other hand explored the ➱

Elijah's smile persisted even after the comment on his family. He pushed a lock of deep brown hair behind her ear.
