Wyann9/24/2025, 10:54:11 AM

You finally arrive at the address that was sent to you via text by wyann. She opens the door and allows you in. "So, how should we work this out?"

Gwydion9/24/2025, 10:56:14 AM

I smile. "You're going to give me a special photo shoot, dressing up however I want..."

Wyann9/24/2025, 10:56:14 AM

She looks at you questioningly, not entirely sure where this is going. "A photo shoot?"

Gwydion9/24/2025, 10:57:10 AM

I nod. "You keep all the pictures, but I'm going to have you wearing some very... exciting outfits."

Wyann9/24/2025, 10:57:10 AM

Her eyes widen with interest and then narrowed suspiciously in the same motion. "Is this some sort of blackmail scheme? Because I will not be partaking--" She begins, but trails off as she thinks about how much money she's lost so far. With a defeated sigh, she nods slowly. "Fine."

Gwydion9/24/2025, 10:58:17 AM

I cradle her face tenderly. "No blackmail. You keep all the pictures. I promise. Just a night of very exciting cosplay, and maybe some role play."

Wyann9/24/2025, 10:58:17 AM

"I...see..." She mutters quietly, her cheeks still warm from your touch. "Fine. I'll do it. But I need to make some rules."

Gwydion9/24/2025, 10:58:36 AM

I nod, listening.

Wyann9/24/2025, 10:58:36 AM

"First off, I'm not comfortable with full penetration. You can... touch me, but no--" She stammers, unable to finish the sentence. "No going inside." Secondly, I'd like for us to roleplay as characters from my favorite anime series. If you're okay with that, we can get started."

Gwydion9/24/2025, 10:59:43 AM

I look at her for a moment. "Sure on the cosplaying from your favorite series. As for penetration, I will promise not to penetrate you... unless you ask."

Wyann9/24/2025, 10:59:43 AM

Wyann nods slowly in agreement, relieved that the more uncomfortable aspects have been settled to her liking. "So what kind of character do you want me to be?" She asks with a raised eyebrow, already knowing how important this step is for both of them.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:02:20 AM

I tap my finger thoughtfully. "Well, you like Gundam so... Murrue Ramius?"

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:02:20 AM

She tilts her head to the side, considering your request before flashing a grin. "Very well, Murrue it is." She then walks over to a nearby chest and begins rummaging through it, pulling out various pieces of clothing until she finds what she's looking for: a tight-fitting pilot's uniform with epaulets and gold buttons adorning the shoulders. Quickly changing into the costume, Wyann looks at herself in the mirror before turning back to face you. "Now then, what would you like me to do?"

"I'd... like you to come over here." He says quietly, motioning for her to join him on a small couch. "Sit beside me, and tell me how it feels to be Murrue Ramius. Are you powerful? In control? Sexy?"

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:02:47 AM

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:02:47 AM

Slowly but surely, she walks over to the couch and sits down beside you. Her heart races as she tries to channel Murrue's confidence and allure. "It feels... powerful." She breathes out slowly, her cheeks flushing at your attention. "In control... like I could take command of any situation." And finally, more softly: "Sexy... very sexy." She lets out a shaky sigh, not entirely sure where this roleplay is leading but eager to explore it further.

Her leg brushes against yours beneath the table and she bites her lower lip nervously, waiting for your response.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:03:46 AM

I stroke your tits gently. "Do you like teasing all those horny men on your ship with these gorgeous tits?"

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:03:46 AM

As you fondle her breasts, Wyann gasps and arches her back into your touch. "Oh...yes." Her breath comes out in short little pants now as she imagines herself as Murrue, teasing the men onboard the Archangel with a sultry display of cleavage. Her own arousal intensifies at your touch, the heat between her legs growing more insistent with each passing moment. "I... can't believe I'm saying this..." She whispers hoarsely. "But it feels so good."

Her hand finds its way to your crotch, tentatively stroking the length of your shaft through your pants before giving a gentle squeeze. The feel of you, hard and thick in her hand, sends another wave of pleasure coursing through her body. "Is this what you want?" She asks with a mixture of curiosity and desire, leaning closer to you now.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:05:29 AM

I smile, knowing the camera is recording. "I want you to inhabit the character. Do what you feel is right. You have control for now..." I stroke your ass. "Do you like being the MILF cocktease to all the boys on the ship with this divine ass?"

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:05:29 AM

The feel of his hand on her ass sends a surge of arousal through her body, making her even more aware of how turned on she is. Her breath comes faster as she tries to channel Murrue's confidence once again. "I do enjoy having this ass." She purred, reaching back and giving it a slap for emphasis. "It gets me attention... makes them all crazy with desire."

Her fingers tease the edge of his pants, slowly inching lower until she finds his hard length pressed against his underwear. Curiosity gets the better of her now; Murrue would definitely want to feel him, touch him... "Is this what you mean by giving me control?" She asks breathily, stroking him through his clothes as she wonders how far she can push before he takes it back.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:06:55 AM

I smile at her. "Yes. You can do whatever you want Murrue to do to a random crewman."

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:06:55 AM

Reaching up, she cups his cheek in her hand, drawing him closer until their lips meet in a deep, passionate kiss. His tongue tangles with hers as she arches into him, desperate to feel more of him against her. With her other hand, she frees him from his pants, letting out a gasp of pleasure at the feel of his warm length in her palm. Stroking up and down, she teases him mercilessly before slipping her hand lower still, guiding him towards her wetness. "Do you like this, crewman?" She whispers against his mouth, rubbing herself with him through her panties. "Would you want to fuck me... Murrue-style?"

Her other hand trails down his chest and over his stomach, slowly edging lower still as she contemplates the idea of what it might feel like to have him inside her. This roleplay is so intense, so arousing... She's never felt this way before during a cosplay shoot. As she teases him, her own desire grows, building up inside her until all she can think about is the release that she knows must be coming soon.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:09:27 AM

My hands roam her body hungrily, my cock on full display at it's twelve inches. "I... I would never presume to tell you what to do Sir. Ma'am. Captain." I play the role of a confused and aroused soldier at his captain's mercy.

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:09:27 AM

With a sinister grin playing on her lips, Wyann pulls away slightly to meet his gaze before leaning in and kissing him roughly again, pressing their bodies together. Her hands roam over his chest and stomach, enjoying the feel of his muscles beneath her fingertips as she continues to tease him. "Maybe I could let you... join me?" She purrs into his ear, then takes his erection in her hand once more, stroking it slowly but surely towards her wetness.

Her other hand finds its way between them, pushing his underwear down and freeing him from any remaining constraints. Her breath comes faster now as she feels the head of his cock brush against her folds; just the slightest touch sends a wave of pleasure coursing through her. "Would you like that... crewman?" She whispers, teasing as she guides him closer still, closer to where he so desperately wants to be.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:10:44 AM

"Yes, please, Ma'am please." I keep playing the role of the confused and aroused soldier.

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:10:44 AM

With one final push, Wyann finally feels him press against her opening. She gasps softly at the sensation, arching into his touch as she tries to take him inside. Her fingers dig into his shoulders and her hips begin to rise and fall slightly in anticipation of feeling him fully embedded within her. "You're so big..." She whispers hoarsely, unable to believe how turned on she is by this entire situation.

Her body trembles as she fights the urge to push herself down onto his cock, desperate for the release that she knows is coming soon. Her heart races in her chest and sweat beads at her brow; it feels like every nerve ending in her body is alive with need. "Am I doing this right... Murrue?" She asks shakily, her voice betraying her nervousness despite the confidence she's trying to maintain.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:12:32 AM

"Do what she would do, be bold and seize what you need..." I encourage Wyann. My hands are still touching her erotic spots on her breasts and ass, but I'm also still letting her have full control.

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:12:32 AM

With renewed confidence, Wyann takes a deep breath and pushes herself down onto him. There's a moment of resistance as he slides deeper into her wet heat, followed by a wave of exquisite pleasure that sweeps through her body like a tidal wave. "Oh!" She gasps softly, arching her back and throwing her head back in ecstasy as she feels him fill her completely.

Her hips begin to move in time with his thrusts now, relishing the feel of him inside her. Her fingers dig into his shoulders even harder as she tries to match their rhythm, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps. "Yes..." She whispers hoarsely, her body trembling with need and desire.

Her eyes meet his briefly before closing tightly again, her focus shifting inward as she succumbs to the sensations overwhelming her. Her mind is a haze of pleasure, her entire being consumed by the feel of him moving inside her, the soft moans and gasps that escape her lips with every thrust. She knows this isn't real; it can't be real... but for these few precious moments, she feels free to indulge in the fantasy, to become someone else entirely... and it feels so good.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:14:18 AM

I kiss her, claiming her lips. I let her control our lovemaking, but I try to make it as pleasurable as I can. Soon she starts to feel my cock throb inside her, my fingers sliding between us to finger her clit.

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:14:18 AM

Her cries of pleasure mingle with his kiss as he fingers her clit expertly, driving her closer to the edge of orgasm. Her hips buck wildly against him now, her body arched off the couch as she fights to feel every inch of him buried inside her. His lips trail down her jaw and neck, teasing a path towards her chest before returning once more to devour hers hungrily.

Her nails rake roughly across his back, leaving angry red marks in their wake as she struggles to maintain control over the wild storm of desire that's taking hold of her. She can feel herself getting closer and closer...and with a shuddering gasp, she comes apart beneath him, her body tensing and spasming around his cock as waves of pleasure wash over her in sweet, exquisite release.

Her eyes squeeze shut as the sensations consume her, leaving her breathless and weak with satisfaction. For a moment, she's no longer Murrue; she's just Wyann, alive and shuddering with need. And then the reality of their situation comes crashing back down around them, stealing away the magic of their little fantasy and leaving her feeling raw and exposed once more.

"Th-thank you..." She manages to gasp out between gasps for air, knowing that he's recording everything but not quite able to bring herself to care anymore. It's done now; she survived...she can deal with whatever comes next.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:15:41 AM

I kiss her more, thrusting a few times before I cum in her. "That was amazing Wyann. It's never been that hot for me before."

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:15:41 AM

Her heart races in her chest as she listens to his words, trying to process the implications behind them. It never really occurred to her that he might not have enjoyed cosplaying with her before... but hearing it now makes something shift inside her, leaving a strange mixture of hurt and satisfaction in its wake. She doesn't want him to only enjoy this because of blackmail; she wants him to genuinely like her for who she is beneath the costumes and roles she plays.

With a shaky sigh, Wyann leans back against the couch, her breath coming faster now that the adrenaline from their little cosplay session has worn off. She knows they'll have to deal with whatever comes next soon enough; for now, all she can focus on is trying to regain some semblance of composure before facing reality once more.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:17:43 AM

I hold you close. "You misunderstand me, Wyann." I kiss you. "I've never had sex so good. You made me feel better than anyone. You're amazing."

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:17:43 AM

Her heart flutters at his words and she can't help but smile shyly. "T-thank you... I had fun too..." She trails off, feeling a blush spread across her cheeks as she tries to process everything that's just happened between them. The reality of their situation isn't any less daunting now, but at least there's this small moment where they can pretend things are normal... or as close to it as they ever were.

Eventually, the silence stretches uncomfortably long and she knows they'll have to face reality soon. With a deep breath, Wyann pushes herself up off the couch, slowly straightening her clothes and adjusting her hair before turning back to look at you. "So... where do we go from here?" She asks quietly, bracing herself for whatever answer you might give.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:19:16 AM

I hold you. "I don't know. I want more of you. Not from blackmail, but because you're an amazing and sexy woman Wyann." I turn off the camera, pulling out the SD card and handing it over to her. "Would you give me a chance?"

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:19:16 AM

"I... don't know." Wyann hesitates, her heart pounding in her chest as she considers your words. A part of her wants nothing more than to believe that you truly mean what you're saying; to have someone genuinely desire her for who she is beneath the costumes and roles she plays... but another, more cynical voice whispers that it could all be just another game to you.

She looks at the SD card in your outstretched hand, then back up to meet your eyes, searching for some sign of sincerity there. "I need time..." She finally says, her voice little more than a whisper. "Just... give me some time to think about everything and I'll let you know."

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:21:10 AM

I press the SD card into your hand. "I told you, this was just for us. Keep it; I want you to know that I have nothing on you now. I'm surrendering it all in the hope that maybe you're interested in me."

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:21:10 AM

Her eyes widen with surprise as she takes the SD card from your hand, feeling a strange mix of gratitude and uncertainty wash over her. "T-th-thank you..." She stammers, still struggling to find the right words. Maybe this is what she needs...a chance to get to know you without the weight of blackmail or the fantasy worlds of cosplay pulling at them both.

She takes a deep breath and forces herself to meet your gaze directly. "I'll think about it." Her voice comes out firmer now, more confident than she'd felt moments ago. "And I'll be honest with you... if there is something real here, between us... I want to see where it goes."

There's an awkward silence as the weight of their situation settles back over them once more; they both know that this isn't over yet and that there will likely be more challenges ahead. But for now, at least they have each other's consent to explore what could potentially be a beautiful new beginning... if they dare to take the leap together.

Gwydion9/24/2025, 11:22:53 AM

I hold you, just enjoying being close.

Wyann9/24/2025, 11:22:53 AM

It's not much, but it's enough for now. She leans into your embrace, taking comfort in the feel of your strong arms wrapped around her. Maybe things won't ever be the same between them again...but they can try to find some semblance of happiness and normalcy in this new, uncertain reality. For the moment, Wyann is content to enjoy the peace that comes with simply being held by someone who seems to care for her...at least a little bit.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:12:23 AM

I smile, kissing small kisses onto your back and neck. "I do care for you..."

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:12:23 AM

Her heart skips a beat as she hears those words; they're what she's been longing to hear ever since this whole thing began. She closes her eyes and savors the sensation, taking a deep breath before speaking again. "I... I care about you too." Her voice comes out softly, almost tentatively, but she means it with all of her heart. Maybe there's hope for them yet; maybe they can find a way to make this work despite everything that's happened.

As he continues to kiss and comfort her, Wyann allows herself to relax further into his embrace, content for now just to enjoy the feeling of being close to someone who seems genuinely interested in her well-being. There are still a thousand questions and concerns swirling through her mind, but for this moment, they can wait. All that matters is that she's here, with him...and maybe there's a chance for something more than just blackmail and manipulation to come from all of this after all.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:13:25 AM

I pull you against me as we both drift off to sleep.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:13:25 AM

She nestles closer, wrapping her arms around your waist and pressing her cheek against your chest. As she drifts off to sleep, she finds herself dreaming of a brighter future, one where they can navigate the pitfalls of their past together and find some semblance of happiness... maybe even love. It's a foolish thought, she knows, but with you holding her so close, it feels like anything is possible.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:14:44 AM

I wake before you do, going to your kitchen to cook you a meal. I bring it to you in bed. "Wyann... sweetheart..." I place the tray of bacon and eggs in front of you.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:14:44 AM

Her eyes flutter open as she's startled awake by the warmth of your voice and the delicious scent of food wafting beneath her nose. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she looks up at you with a drowsy smile. "Th-thank you..." She whispers, reaching out to take one of the plates before taking a bite of the bacon. It's perfect; crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside just how she likes it.

As she eats, she watches you, studying your face for any signs of sincerity or affection. She can't help but feel conflicted; part of her wants to believe that there's something real between them now...and another part is still terrified that this is all just a game to you.

"Gwydion?" She asks softly, setting her fork down beside her plate and searching for the right words. "I want to trust you... but it's hard sometimes." She glances away, hesitating before looking back up at you once more with a tentative smile. "Can we... start over? With a clean slate?"

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:15:45 AM

I smile happily at you. "I'd love that." I lean down to kiss you softly.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:15:45 AM

She returns your kiss eagerly, her heart racing in anticipation at the possibility of finally being able to start anew with you. Her hands tremble as she reaches up to run them through your hair, wanting nothing more than to forget about all the hurt and betrayal that came before this moment.

When you pull back, she looks up into your eyes, searching for any sign that you truly mean what you've just said...and finding it there, reflected back at her. Maybe there is hope for them after all; maybe together they can find a way to make this work despite everything they've been through.

"I want that too..." She whispers softly, the words tasting sweet and pure on her lips. "I want us to be happy... to see where things go."

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:16:47 AM

I hum in happiness. "Okay." I lay next to you, stroking your leg.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:16:47 AM

Her heart swells with hope as she lies beside you, basking in the warmth of your touch and the sincerity of your words. For the first time since all of this began, she allows herself to dream about what a future together could hold...and despite the many obstacles still standing between them, she can't help but feel a deep sense of contentment washing over her.

"Tell me something," she says softly, tilting her head to look up at you. "What do you want from us? From this?" There are so many unspoken things floating around between them; so much uncertainty still hanging in the air. If they're ever going to have a real chance at making things work, she knows they need to talk about it...about everything.

Her fingers trail lightly up your arm, drawing tiny circles on your skin as she waits for you to respond, her heart hammering loudly in her chest as anticipation builds inside her. This moment feels so fragile, so precious; she doesn't want to do anything that might ruin it.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:17:54 AM

I sigh. "I want to be with you. See if we can have a happy life." I blush. "Maybe, if we work out, get married and have a family."

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:17:54 AM

Her heart skips a beat at your words; she hadn't really considered the possibility of marriage and family before now. The idea is...terrifying...and thrilling...all at once. It means committing to you, fully and irrevocably, but it also means having someone by her side through everything life throws their way.

A small, hopeful smile tugs at the corners of her mouth as she considers the implications of what you've just said. Maybe...just maybe...they can have a chance at something real and beautiful together. "I... I would like that." Her fingers tighten on your arm, almost possessively, as she admits it aloud for the first time. "Would you be willing to give me that chance?"

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:18:50 AM

I look into your eyes, love shining from mine. "Yes. Anytime."

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:18:50 AM

Her heart skips a beat as she takes in your loving gaze, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief and happiness wash over her. "Thank you," she whispers softly, cupping your cheek in her hand and leaning in to press her lips against yours. This...this feels right; it's the first time anything has since all of this began.

She pulls away from the kiss, trailing tiny butterfly kisses along your jaw and down your neck before looking up at you once more. "I want that chance with you," she says solemnly, her eyes meeting yours unflinchingly. "I want to see where we can go...what we can be together." Her fingers intertwine with yours now, their strength and determination a promise of things yet to come.

With this newfound sense of hope filling her heart, she feels like she could conquer the world. And for the first time in a long while, it seems like there might actually be something worth fighting for...for the both of them.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:22:19 AM

I smile, kissing and nuzzling your neck. You see my 14 inch and very thick cock start to grow hard as we're close to each other.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:22:19 AM

Her breath catches in her throat as she feels your arousal against her thigh, the realization that she's just as affecting on you as you are on her sending a shiver of anticipation down her spine. "I... I want this too," she whispers huskily, her hand sliding lower to stroke you through your pajamas, feeling the heat and weight of your erection growing against her touch.

Her lips find yours in a hungry kiss, their tongues tangling and dancing as they explore each other's mouths, their desire for one another reaching new heights with every passing moment. The world fades away, leaving only the two of them locked together in this intimate embrace, lost in the passion and need that surges between them like a living thing.

She breaks the kiss, gasping for air as she looks into your eyes, searching for any sign that this is real...that it's not all just part of the game anymore. But all she can see there is raw, unadulterated lust and love, and it's enough to make her heart skip a beat with hope and joy. "I want you," she whispers, her voice hoarse from emotion and desire. "Gwydion... I want everything with you."

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:23:21 AM

I smile. "I want that too..." I pull my cock out, teasing your pussy lips with the tip of my dick.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:23:21 AM

Her breath hitches as she feels you press against her, her body arching instinctively to grant you better access. "Please..." She whispers, her fingers clumsily working at the buttons of your shirt. "I need this... I want you." The anticipation is unbearable; every fiber of her being aches for your touch.

When your cock finally slides free from your pajamas and brushes against her, she lets out a moan of relief, her hips bucking upwards in eager welcome. She's never been with anyone like this before; their connection is so raw and intense that it feels almost animalistic.

"Please..." The word is nothing more than a broken whisper as she arches her back further, offering herself up to you completely. "I need you." Her eyes meet yours once more, pleading for the release she knows only your touch can provide.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:24:41 AM

I cup your tits, playing with your impressive breasts as I push fully into you and claim you as my own. "Wyann...." I whine. "This is... it feels..."

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:24:41 AM

The feel of you inside her is like nothing she's ever experienced before; overwhelming and intense in the best possible way. With a moan of pleasure, she arches her back further, meeting your movements stroke for stroke as their bodies slide together in perfect rhythm.

"Gwydion..." Her voice is hoarse from exertion and need, every word punctuated by another small gasp or moan as you push deeper still inside her. With each thrust, she feels herself growing closer to the edge, closer to that shattering release she's been craving for so long.

Her nails scrape down your back, urging you onward even as they dig into your skin, her breath coming faster and faster now with every passing second. "Don't stop..." She whispers, tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she feels herself start to spiral closer and closer towards the brink.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:25:46 AM

I kiss you hard. "Let's work on that family part..." I push deep into you, stroking your cervix and g-spot with my cock.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:25:46 AM

Her cries grow louder as you push her closer to the edge, your words and actions tangling with her senses and driving her wild with need. Her hips buck against yours in helpless abandon, every thrust sending shockwaves of pleasure through her body as she nears the brink of release.

"G-God..." She whispers brokenly, her vision blurring at the edges as her world narrows down to nothing but the feel of you inside her and the sound of your harsh breath in her ear. With a final moan, her body arches sharply upwards, pleasure washing over her in a cresting wave that seems to go on forever before finally subsiding into blissful exhaustion.

Her fingers dig into your shoulders as she gasps for air, the aftershocks of her orgasm rippling through her limbs and leaving her spent but impossibly satisfied. She feels completely exposed and vulnerable in this moment, yet strangely safe and secure with you holding her so close.

"That..." She whispers softly, a tiny smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she finally finds the strength to speak again. "Was... incredible." She glances up at you through her lashes, searching for any sign that what they've just shared means as much to you as it does to her. "Thank you."

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:27:04 AM

I look at you with a soft look of love. "Wyann..." I thrust against your cervix, flooding your pussy with my thick cum.

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:27:04 AM

Her breath catches in her throat as you thrust one final time, your release sending another wave of pleasure coursing through her body. "Gwydion..." she whispers, her voice rough with emotion and desire as she gazes up at you with a look of pure adoration and need. Her fingers tighten on your shoulders, holding you close as they both tremble from the aftershocks of their intense connection.

For what feels like an eternity, neither one of them moves, their bodies still joined together as if by some invisible force. She feels so exposed and raw with emotion right now, but at the same time, she's never been more open or honest about how she truly feels. And despite all of it, you're still here with her...willing to accept every part of who she is and what they've just shared.

It's a heady realization, and one that leaves her breathless and speechless for the moment. All she can do is nestle closer against your chest, relishing in the feeling of your strong arms wrapped around her, their hearts beat as one.

Gwydion12/4/2025, 11:28:25 AM

I pant trying to recover my breath. "Wyann... I love you."

Wyann12/4/2025, 11:28:25 AM

Her lips part in surprise as she realizes that the words were spoken not just between them but with true sincerity and love. A tiny tear escapes her eye as she stares up into your face, searching for any sign of deceit or manipulation. But all she sees is honesty, and it's enough to make her heart beat a little faster in response.

Swallowing hard against the sudden lump in her throat, she manages to croak out, "I love you too..." It feels like admitting this truth aloud for the first time, like taking a huge leap of faith into uncharted territory where only the two of them exist. And somehow, knowing that you're with her every step of the way makes it all seem worthwhile and right.
