Destiny barely had time to react. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him back."Bother sleep!" He said in a happy tone. "I would love to spend more time with you. After all, we are not in a hurry. And I would love to watch the stars with you."
He pulled her gently by her beautiful fine waist and said,
"I love you Destiny."
Then he kissed her again. This time with a passion that make his heart burn with happiness and his body tremble with even more delight than before.
Destiny squeezed his hands. "Yes. THe Great Ellonai." She nodded. Just saying the name brought a peace to her. "And you." She slipped her arms around his waist and pressed her cheek against his chest."Do not be afraid," he said holding her hands. "We have the creator of all things on our side. With his power we can do anything. And will be by your side always."
Destiny sighed. "I as well." She whispered looking up at the stars winking down on them. "I don't want to lose you." She admited to him."I found myself alone in the room and for the first time in my life I couldn't stand it. I spent almost all my life working alone in the fields and I was always happy. Just me and the loneliness. A few moments ago, after I went into my room, I felt both sad and afraid to be alone. Without you. It was a terrible feeling."
Arcturus looked at the stars and the moon shining over them, as if giving their approval to their embrace.
"I'm not planning on leaving." Destiny promised him. She pushed back to look up at him. "I...love you,Rain." She finaly said it back, standing on her tip toes the Fire Princess lightly kissed his lips."And I never loved someone this much either. Not with this intensity. I almost lost you once. I don't ever want that to happen again."
Destiny didn't know why but this, the feel of Rain's arms around her waist, and his lips pressed against hers, it fealt...right. And she liked it.Arcturus loved her kisses more than anything. It was like honey from the honeycomb! He never knew love could be so sweet!
Destiny bit her lower lip. "I don't know." She shook her head causing her hair to swoosh about her shoulders."I want to stay the whole night here with you," he said looking at her. "Do you think we can bring some of the pillows and we can sit in these sofas here on the balcony? If we fall asleep it will be alright. The weather seems perfect."
Destiny smiled forgivingly at him. "It's quite allright." She assured him. "That sounds...great." She said to his plan."You are right," he said apologetic. "It would not be proper. I apologize. I got caught up in the moment. We will spend as much time here and when we are tired I will retire to my room."
Destiny pushed away from him and walked a few steps to the bannister. She wrapped her arms around herself from the cold chill she was getting from not having his arms around her."Great," it's all he said blissfully.
Arcturus was just happy to spend any amount of time with Destiny. He loved her and would never do anything that would bring the character and honor of Destiny into question.
