She could feel the fire chasing them, felt the buildings crumble behind her, but she didn't look back. Her muscles screamed at her in protest, her lungs burned as she breathed hard, heavy breaths of smoky air. Órlaith winced and lifted her hand as she felt the pulse, her gaze widening on the...

Òrlaith nodded quickly at him, failing to hide the panic in her eyes as he spoke, her lips parting to speak when he kissed her. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she kissed him back, saying everything she possibly could without words. She stared at him for a moment and pulled in a breath before...

How could he possibly smile at a time like this? Her expression was the portrait of panic and pure fear. They were going to kill him and drag her back there, and even if they did make it they wouldn't stop hunting them. Her eyes teared up as she looked at him and nodded, letting him guide her...

Órlaith let out a gasp as she was pulled into the alleyway, her chest heaving with each panicked breath. She gripped hold of Cal's coat, her body jolting at the voice that called to her. She recognised it as Jared, an interrogator who worked for her father. She knew of his methods, and the fear...

"How could we ever?.." Órlaith asked hurriedly and tugged him back in the direction of the shuddering doorway. She held tight to his hand as they ran, leaping over debris and avoiding walls that crumbled before their eyes. She noted the scorch marks that ran the length of the street, the...

The kiss eased her slightly, and she smiled at his words, but she didn't need to be told twice. In an instant, she was out of bed, stumbling around as she pulled on her layers of clothes, though she couldn't help but notice how warm the air felt as she did so.. The mountain around them seemed...

She never wanted to leave this place. Their place. She didn't care if she never saw the sky again, she'd never felt such peace and happiness than she did upon waking to the sight of his face and the rolling sound of his voice as his fingers caressed her skin. She grinned sleepily and nuzzled in...

Órlaith let out a breath of a laugh at him and shook her head, her fingertips trailing over his stubbled jaw as she returned his kiss. "I've done nothing to deserve a palace. I don't care what we live in as long as its together. I want you. Nothing else." she whispered. "Now, let's do the sex."...

She let out a scream as he picked her up, her laugh echoing throughout the ballroom and hallways as he searched for a bed to take her to. When finally she hit a mattress she flopped back and chuckled, breathless from her laughter. She puffed her hair out of her face and grinned up at him, her...

Órlaith beamed at his words, leaning into the affectionate touch and settling her hand over his to keep it there as she pressed a kiss into his palm. She nestled in against his chest and let her eyes close again, allowing him to gently sway her in this, her first ever dance. She could feel the...

She smiled at the tender kiss to her head and allowed him to tilt her gaze toward him, his words causing her chest to tighten.. "I should've said so outside, when you told me that you loved me. I went over and over it in my mind, and I know that if anything had happened to you without you...

She hung on to every word, her brow furrowing slightly. She didn't know much about the ways of nobility and politics, all she knew was that people were cruel and that he was the only 'normal' one she'd known who wasn't. And yet, he was supposed to be one of the cruellest. She returned his kiss...

Órlaith laughed softly as they began to move, looking down at their feet for a moment before she felt able to follow well enough without watching. She looked up at him instead, a beaming smile on her face, the sound he made reverberating through her bones and soothing her tension. Her eyes...

Órlaith returned his kiss and reflected that smile back at him, a soft laugh as she dipped her chin and curtsied as best as she could. "I would love to." she answered.."Though you may need to teach me." she smirked, letting him lead her onto the floor. She slid her hands up his chest to wrap...

Órlaith beamed a bright smile at his words and nodded. They could afford that, a single day to explore, to enjoy one another, to pretend that they weren't being hunted down and forget about everything outside of this mountain. It seemed the city really was theirs for as long as they were here...
