@Introvrsa A shuddered breath was exhaled as the male pulled her into such a passionate embrace.
“Aye, I thought I’d let ye rest. . . Ye had te be knackered after such a long journey.”
Caoimhe held him close, a tight grip, as if she were worried he’d run away.
“Was lovely te have ye—
“M’pleased te see yer in one piece,” she commented breathily, a singular tear spilling over and trickling down her cheek. These were tears of pure, passionate and unbridled joy.
“You’ll have te tell me all about yer travels. No better story teller th’n you.”
She was positively giddy.
“I’d take a closer look at ye but I can’t make myself let go. . .” the berserker explained through a tearful laugh.
“A sight for sore eyes. I’ve missed y’so. . .”
His vision burned. Blurry with welling tears. His arms didn't move fast enough.
To hold her again.
To smell her.
The way her hair brushed against his scruff, his lips.
"Caoimhe... Blessed... My Caoimhe.. "
Her usual grand smile exposed her upper row of pearly teeth as she spotted him, heart bursting with love and excitement.
The distance closed between them and she pulled him into a tight embrace, tears stinging her throat and the corners of her eyes.
“Oh, Cayden. . .”
She returned the kiss and took it as a cue to change the topic of conversation. Though, she was unsure of where to steer it. . . All she could focus on was him. The sound of his heartbeat was like the finest music to her ears.
His grin was soft, as was his gaze.
"I.. I had to take care of some unfinished business; and now..."
Cayden gave pause to swiftly press a kiss upon her lips.
“You must tell me what ye’ve been up to all this time. . .”
She moved back just a bit to cast her gaze up at him.
“Yer in one piece, so tha’s a start.”
He would gently press his cheek against her before moving to kiss her warm temple.
"As I have missed you..."
Cayden combed his fingers through wild locks.
"...So.. so very much.."
“Cayden. . .” She spoke quietly into the crook of his neck, green eyes closing tightly, afraid that if she let go he would disappear.
“I’ve missed you. . .”
The werebear chuckles, a hearty growl meant to signify his affection sounded before his embrace is met with her frame. A loving squeeze, a quiet inhale before he closed his eyes to envelope in her warmth.
"Caoimhe... my sweet.."
