He looks down at her and looks directly into her eyes. "Will you marry me?" Time seemed to stop once he asked the question. An eternity seemed to pass. His heart raced against his chest. He expected her to bolt out of bed and run away, and he wouldn't be too surprised if she did.

Lilith reached up, cupping Turel's cheek in her palm while looking at him quizzically. "I'm madly in love with you as well...what is it you want to say?" Concern marred the perfection of her pale blue hues while she looked at him, feeling so at ease and at him with him.

Turel wanted to belong to her, but he was afraid to ask her what she wanted. After a few minutes, he works up the courage to ask. "Lillith, I.... I'm madly in love with you. And... I want to be more than just lovers. And even more than boyfriend/girlfriend. I...* his courage is shot down by fear for taking things too quickly, and he shuts his mouth, for he's afraid if he were to ask her to marry him, that she'll get scared and run away.

Softly and tenderly she brushed her cheek against his while resting atop him, a giggle just behind her lips that wanted to escape, created by unbelieveable happiness. Lilith knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Turel but was uncertain if he wished for the same.

He keeps her in his arms, softly stroking her hair and letting her rest on top of him, his legs locked with hers, their oneness continuing, arms wrapped around her in a tender and loving embrace. He sighs happily, feeling ecstatic that he's found a more meaningful woman in his life, and he will die to keep her in his life. A thought crossed his mind, a thought of them going out to get married. But perhaps he may be thinking to hastily. They did just meet after all.

Lilith imagined the feeling she had was like a young girl finding true love for the first time, but she felt something deeper, she felt a connection with Turel, as if a bound had been created between them. Having never felt like this that she could remember she didn't have the words to explain how she felt other then to say "I love you too Turel" while she hugged him just as tight, never wanting to part from him.

The night was romantic, passionate, and tender. Turel made love to Lillith for the first time, every movement and touch was sensual. Nothing about it was rough or harsh like it had been the night before. Every moment spoke to Lillith, telling her that the love he has for her is real.

Hours passed as they made love, soft moans escaped their lips as the passion built, their fingers intertwined and squeezing their hands firmly. And then the climax. The point where they both reached their peak at the same time, giving themselves truely to the other.

Turel never let Lillith go as the two remained in bed, cuddling and kissing each other softly, and he spoke the words they found for each other recently, and wholeheartedly. "I love you Lillith!" He hugged her tighter, keeping her form ever closer to his as they remained as one, cherishing the oneness they now shared in perfect harmony.

Lilith's hands softly roamed over Turel's strong back, feeling the muscles rippling beneath her hands with even the slightest move he made. She wraps her legs around his and loves the feel of his weight against her while she continues the passionate, sensual kiss.

Slowly, Turel rolled on top of Lillith, and continues kissing her softly and lovingly. His hands roamed her body, not to give her pleasure, but to appreciate her body, pleasure being a result.

Lilith trembled softly in Turel's embrace while her lips ever so gently press against his, there is nothing forced nor rushed about the kiss it speaks only of softness and love while her arms wrap around that of his form, her shapely body pressed close to his, marveling at the warmth of his skin.

He slid down in the covers just a little just so he can be face to face with her. Gently and lovingly, he strokes her cheek, gazing deep into her eyes as he keeps holding her tight to him. Turel closes his eyes and gently places a kiss upon her lips. And it was the most tender kiss he's ever done, one that told Lillith of his love for her.

His touch gives her comfort that she has never known and the sincere look on his face says more then his words do and the look in his eyes that makes her heart skip a beat muct be the look of love. A soft sigh passes over her lips and her eyelids fall closed while just taking in his gentleness, a gentless that she didn't know he possesed at their first encounter together. She wondered how that gentleness would be in bed, if he would make love to her or if it would always hold that rough edge.

He adored her smile as his eyes met hers and with a finger, he gently caressed her lips, taking in every line, curve and softness. His other hand softly rubbed up and down her back, just comforting her and letting her know that his feelings and love for her is true.

"I asked mostly out of curiosity since this is all new too me, and partly out of concern" she answered him honestly and openly seeing no reason to hide anything from him. Lilith then placed a soft kiss on his chest before again smiling up at him, her fangs peering from behind her full lips.

He was struck by her question, and it took him aback for a moment before he answered. "Did I love her? Yes. Do I still love her? No. Will I ever love her again? Well, that depends on what happenes with us. But since we both love each other and if we continue to love each other, then no, I will never love her again." He looked down at her with slight concern. "Are you worried I might go back to her?"

Out of instinct Lilith leaned up and placed a kiss on the tip of Turel's nose then smiled into his pale, blue hues. "It is just very rare that I sleep is all." Softly she began to trail her slender index finger over his chest, amazed at how easily she was able to get used to such closeness and tenderness and how natural it seemed. "Do you still love your former wife?" She asked suddenly, as since it was on her mind she wasn't going to just let it sit there and cause her to wonder.

"I slept rather well actually. Better than I ever have in my life to be honest." He looked at her with a concerned look. "How come you did not sleep? Were you not sleepy?"

Spotting a cockroach crawling on the wall just above where they lay, Lilith's eyes flashed to crimson just as the disgusting bug burst into flames. "Actually I didn't sleep..." she had started to add some sort of pet name after her words, but that was something she certainly didn't have any experience with. "What about you?" She asked while wondering for a brief moment about his former wife.

He smiled when he heard her speak and hugged her tight. "How did you sleep?" He kept her in his arms, happy to have found love once again. He thought he would never find love again, yet here was this woman, and he fell madly in love with her.

Hearing Turel's deep timber Lilith tilted her back so as she could look upon his handsome face, her body still partially drapped over his. "I love you too"

Turel woke from his slumber, still holding Lillith in his arms. He smiled softly and kissed the top of her head ever so gently. Whispering softly "I love you.", he just layed there and enjoyed holding her so very close to him.

Lilith hadn't slept at all, for she seldomly did anyways, but for this day she had stayed awake for different reasons. She had laid there silently, just listening to Turel's even breathing, her head rising and falling as she kept her head on his chest. She hardly moved for fear of disturbing him during his slumber. She knew she should get back to the meeting with that man who's name she still hadn't garnered, but for now, for this precious moment she was taking some time to herself.

Lifting her head from his chest she looks upon his ever relaxing face "I love you too Turel Reaver" she then lays her head back down on his chest marveling at our perfectly they fit together.

Turel kisses the top of her head and softly rubs her back, keeping her warm in his arms. He has missed the feel of someone in his arms, and this woman seemed to fit more perfectly than Ariel. It was as if Lillith was made to be held by him. "I love you Lillith von Rijn." he says softly as he brushes his cheek to the top of her head, finding himself falling even more in love with her as he drifts to sleep.

Lilith just lays there in the silent room listening to the beating of Turel's heart and how his breathing grows more shallow as sleep pulls him deeper into it's embrace. She smiles against his chest and enjoys this perfect moment, hoping there might be many more to come.
