She holds him.

He is so close that she can feel his heartbeat pounding through her very being. So close she can feel his energy fighting with hers until it tires and ultimately resists to becoming one...

... One and the same.

He inhales deeply as his arms tighten about her waist. He lifts her. Light as a feather, she comes to rest on his hips and wraps her legs about him. He lays his head in the small, comfortable space in the curve of her neck as he breathes in her warmth and holds her ever closer.

Such a delicate and fragile creature; even the smallest thing would cause her to break.

She fondles the hairs on his nape affectionately as her fingers entwine between them and dance across his neck. He becomes breathless as a sudden force causes him to gasp for air; this mystifying power which grips not only his heart, but his very Soul.

Was it true that he had at last found Love?

She could do nothing but hold him and hope that that moment would last for eternity.


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


But eventually the eternity stops. She feels him loosen his grip and the terror hits her cold and hard. She slips slowly down his hips, and she cannot breathe for the fear which overtakes her senses... He must hold her; he cannot let her go...

...She must not fall...

The darkness that awaits her at the bottom makes her head spin violently, but as she manages to find his eyes among the black, he takes her lips in his, rescuing her through his liberating kiss. She closes her eyes and calms as she imagines he is all there is. All there will ever be. For now she knows she is safe...

...She will not fall.

She lets her hands slide faintly down his chest to rest by her side. She rejoices as he is holding her with his kiss.

Yet when he pulls away, she feels the dark begin to arise again... her heart beats furiously; so much so it makes her want to cling to him like a desperate child. Still, once his lips leave hers... she cannot feel the cold. Where was the darkness, and why had it not taken her into its immeasurable abyss?

Suddenly, as her eyes meet his she realises -

‘He is holding me with his heart. Now I will never fall.’
This was a piece inspired by a dream I had... but inspired to actually be written by :icondianae: for her contest 'Fall' - [link]

It's a really clever idea, and there are some awesome submissions too! :love:

I really enjoyed writing this, and if it wasn't for the contest, I probably wouldn't have gotten round to doing it...

So, thank you Dianae for accepting it as well! :D

I hope you enjoy - comments are always very welcome! :D

Wow I love this one... Its beautifully written. I agree with the comment about more description. I would love this with more graphic(i think thats the best way to describe it, I dont mean explicit but, like, making the reader feel more what she was feeling. not just her emotions but what her ears were hearing, what her body was physically feeling like the texture of his skin.) Just the detail. I believe this is my favorite of yours so far.:)
