Tinder let the sound of his passion wash over her as she tumbled with him, light-headed and panting for air. She sprawled over her winged lover, reveling in his tender touches. There were no words to describe what they'd just done. The night before had been exquisite enough, but this? This may well have been almost primal to Tinder, certainly as carefree and unleashed as she'd ever been. "Only for you," she murmured against the hollow of his throat, pressed a kiss there. "Only ever for you."
She slid her fingers over his skin, exhausted enough to only vaguely consider the import of her words. Meeting him had changed so much in such a short time...she'd already given in to her desire to stay in haven of the Library when she could easily have gone back to the world she was familiar with, and she'd made a promise to find a place to belong within these walls, to figure out what one did when they weren't living at the beck and call of a cruel organization that only sought to harm others. And she'd now made love--twice--with a man who could channel the many degrees of her ability into something precious instead of something dangerous. This thing they had was new, beautiful as his wings, and she'd desperately wanted to hold onto it with both hands, to leap. What remained was fear, and habits too ingrained to be set aside with ease, and these things would be hurdles to take a day at a time.
I love you, Tinder.
She couldn't have heard him right. "No one," Tinder whispered after a choked breath, "no one says things like that anymore."

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
