Waiting For Her {Aurora}

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

Night blanketed the mountains completely. A cold breeze blew into the city of Abourno, stirring leaves that had already started to change colors. The city seemed to become rather pleasant during the changing of times even if the temperature became colder. Celestine had noted this. The people became a bit happier despite the cold. He only assumed that it was because the heat brought out the worst in people around this area.

The changing of seasons also promised for something new. Maybe life would become a bit easier, or at least something new would come from this change. There would be snow, and no doubt the kids would find entertainment in the white blessing when it came.

The half breed could wait for the snow, though. Snow always meant a desperate search for shelter when he had been taking care of his sister Cecilia. They had always been caught out in the changing of temperature and weather. It was never fun for them. They never enjoyed the snow as much as others did. Snow meant coldness and a hard night’s sleep.

Of course, the mute did not have to worry about that this time around. He had been living with Aurora, and she took great care of him. She gave him a place to sleep and food to eat. She also gave him love and affection. What more could a man ask for?

Celestine was in the living room at this time, making sure the fire was burning hot enough. He did not want the house to get too cold for Aurora or for himself. He knew that Chance seemed unfazed by the temperature. Hell, the animal shifter could change into whatever animal he chose to stay warm.

The half breed seemed to be a bit nervous tonight, though, for whatever reason. He could not even explain his anxiety, but it was there, haunting him. He knew that Aurora would be able to sense it when she came to him. Celestine let out a sigh as he moved away from the fireplace and sat down in one of the chairs.

[Aurora]

Aurora descended the steps from her room, yawning slightly and pushing her hair out of her eyes. She was dressed in a tunic that was much too large for her body with sleeves that covered her hands, and nothing else. Seeing Celestine, she tilted her head, the sleep instantly disappearing as she took in his mood.

"Celestine?"she questioned as she descended the final few stairs to stand in front of him. "What's wrong?" the angelic asked as she crouched in front of the chair that he was residing in.

The assassin reached up and smoothed some of his hair out of his face with tender fingers before letting a frown mar her features as she pursed her lips, not liking the anxiety that was coming off him in waves.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

Celestine looked to Aurora, chewing his bottom lip. He was almost ashamed of how easily read he was. He did not even have to look to the angelic for her to know how he was feeling. All she had to do was simply look at him sitting in the chair to know that something was on his mind.

The half breed took the angelic’s hand gently, rubbing it gently. He brought it up to his lips and kissed the back of it lightly. He loved her so very much, and he was hoping that she understood that. He was hoping that she understood she was the only one he could ever think about being with. She made him laugh and smile even in the worst of moods. Aurora was everything to Celestine.

Why was he anxious? He could not even explain it still. Perhaps, he really wanted to show her how he felt.

[Aurora]

Aurora frowned a bit more, the look marring her features as she watched him, nodding and giving him permission to do whatever it is he felt necessary to do to convey whatever words he had. She had often idly wondered what he would sound like were he able to speak, but pushed the thoughts away, quite happy with him as he was now.

In her sleep mussed state, she pushed a hand through her hair, sorting out the tangles as she watched him and chewed on her own lower lip as she tried to figure out what it is he wanted.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

Celestine sat forward a bit, letting his hand rest against Aurora’s cheek. His fingers gently crazed over her skin before moving back through her hair. His hand slowly settled on the back of the angelic’s neck. The half breed’s eyes were watching her closely as though making sure his actions did not alarm her for whatever reason. His anxiety was still high.

The half breed leaned forward once more, kissing Aurora deeply. His arms slipped around her in a tight embrace. He allowed his hands to slowly move over her back. He loved how she felt against him.

[Aurora]

Aurora melted into the kiss, rising up a bit on her knees as she kissed him back, careful to let him take control. Her hands wandered up his torso and over his back, massaging the muscles there that had built up even more from her training with him in the sword and a few other pieces of weaponry that she had insisted he learned.

She lifted one hand up and slid it through the mute half breed's hair, enjoying the kiss and how they felt against one another. She still was unsure of his anxiety and wanted him to relax, letting him know she wasn't going to leave him.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

The mute kissed Aurora even more. He pulled her up against him a bit more, soon having her seated in his lap. Celestine moved the angelic’s legs to where she was now straddling his lap. His hands wandered down her back before setting on her hips. The half breed nipped at her lips, letting his fingers twist around the bottom of her shirt.

Celestine’s heart was racing as he continued to kiss her more. His hands slipped beneath her shirt, slowly moving up her sides. He pushed up against the angelic, kissing her a bit roughly this time as his hands moved up further on her sides.

[Aurora]

Aurora gasped slightly at the sudden movements from the halfbreed. She twisted her fingers into his hair before she kissed him back, matching him with the passion that they both shared. She shivered slightly at the trail his fingers were leaving on her skin, her head tilting back as another gasp escaped her lips.

Focusing on him once more, she sent him a wry smile as she leaned in to speak, her lips ghosting over his own with every word that parted her lips. "You do realize that I'm only wearing this, right?" she asked him, her voice soft as she didn't want to scare him.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

Celestine nodded his head a bit, his cheeks flushing. He moved his hands back down from beneath her shirt, setting them on the arms of the chair. His eyes were studying the angelic closely. His heart was still thundering in his chest, and his breath had become heavy.

The mute was unsure of these feelings that were coursing through his body. He just wanted to feel Aurora up against him. He craved her in a way that even he could not explain within himself. He wanted desperately to understand what these physical urges where. He hoped that Aurora could explain.

[Aurora]

Aurora smiled and gently took his hands in hers, kissing his palms and each of the fingers before she placed his hands back on her hips. "It's okay," she said calmly as she reached forward and kissed him again. "Do what you think feels right," she urged him, allowing him to take it one step at a time to get him comfortable.

After all, he had seen her in various states of undress during the time that they lived together. She leaned forward, her lips brushing against his. The first time, it was a feather light touch, the second it was a bit more firm and by the third time, she deepened it, letting her hands wander his body in an example of what it was like.

She was okay with what he wanted to do, but he had to figure somethings out himself, she couldn't just keep telling him, especially since she wasn't a mind reader and she knew that he had to make his own desires clear.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

The half breed held Aurora tight to him, letting out a slow breath. Celestine moved forward, slipping out of the chair with his arms still wrapped tightly around Aurora. He set her down upon her feet as his eyes moved down to study her.

The mute’s hands wandered down over the shirt that Aurora was wearing to the bottom of it. He took hold of her shirt and lifted it up and off of her before letting it drop to the ground. The half breed’s eyes grazed over Aurora’s naked body now. Celestine gave a slow smile before he let his hand slip over her neck as he leaned down and kissed her lips deeply.

[Aurora]

A faint flush of color spilled over her cheeks at him, wondering why she was suddenly shy now even though she'd been naked in the presence of other men before. Although, she guessed that it was because she really did love him. She smiled into the kiss, kissing him back as her hands wandered down his body and divested him of his own shirt, her fingers trailing up over his skin.

She stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, her hands playing along his back as she pressed them together, still giving him an option to back out if he wanted to or if he wasn't sure. Although she had rarely known him to act rashly but it didn't hurt to be cautious.

Her hands traced over his torso, memorizing every detail there.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

Celestine leaned down, kissing Aurora once again. How he wished he could tell her how much he loved her. He loved her more than he thought he could love anyone else. He wanted to show her this love, and he would.

The half breed smiled as he took Aurora’s hand within his. He kissed her forehead briefly before leading her to the staircase and out of the living room. Celestine took the angelic into his arms tightly and walked upstairs with her naked body close up against him.

When they reached Aurora’s bedroom, the mute opened the door and slipped inside with her still in his arms. He walked over to her bed and sat her down before sitting down beside her.

[Aurora]

Aurora smiled gently before leaning over and kissing Celestine her hands removing the rest of his clothes and a quick manner, careful not to hurt him or to startle him before she let her hands wander all over his body, exploring and touching him, always mindful of his reactions to what she did to him. She did not mind taking care of him this night, she was more than happy to be with him.

When she pulled back from the kiss, she beamed at him, all the love that she had for him showed through in that before she kissed him again, showing him exactly what his emotions had been about.

When they finished, Aurora lay next to him, cuddled into his side as she relaxed, leaning up to give him a quick kiss.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

Celestine held onto Aurora tightly, enjoying how she felt laying so close beside him. He kissed her as well, smiling as he settled down against the bed. The half breed pulled the cover up close to them to keep both of them warm.

He was so happy to be with her, and he was also very glad about what they had just done this night. He wanted every day and night to be like this. Celestine was rather surprised that it had taken him this long to discover these feelings of love and want toward Aurora. It was as though he should have realized this a long time ago.

[Aurora]

Aurora smiled and draped an arm across Celestine's stomach, content to lay there with him in the warmth and the afterglow of the sex. She knew that he had been shy about physical contact and let him decide when to take the next step and this had been it. She snuggled even more into his side before giving a slight yawn and a small giggle that showed how happy she really was.

She lifted her head slightly and sent him a happy smile as she leaned up to give him a soft and lingering kiss on his lips. "Good night Celestine," she said softly.

[Celestine the Silent One]

Silent anxiety.

The half breed returned Aurora’s kiss before relaxing back against the bed. His arms held her close to him. He watched as the angelic slowly fell asleep there beside him. Celestine was rather happy and almost completely content there, calm in the bed beside her.

There was one thing that was still troubling the mute. He wanted to talk to Aurora instead of giving her glances in hopes that she understood his meaning. He would have to go and find the djinn somehow, but that was virtually impossible. He was desperate, though, to allow his love to hear his voice. So, the half breed would find a way. Someway.

Celestine soon fell asleep after the angelic.
