***Cadiz***
The past few days had been the happiest of my life.
Raizel and I had been sleeping in the same room since that morning, his room specifically because the bed was bigger and somehow it just felt right to be there.
Every night I fell asleep wrapped in his arms, and every morning I woke up to him kissing me or holding me or sometimes already awake and watching me with such tenderness it made my chest ache.
He never stopped showing me love in ways both big and small. Sometimes it was passionate, his hands urgent on my body as he took me with an intensity that left us both breathless, other times it was gentle, soft touches and whispered words as we moved together slowly, savoring every moment.
Just yesterday I'd been in the library, absorbed in a book about ancient magical theory, when I felt arms wrap around me from behind. I'd jumped slightly, startled, but then Raizel's scent surrounded me and I relaxed back against his chest.
