"Are you okay?" he gasped. "That was—"
"That was beautiful," she said breathlessly. "I can't… I would do it again if…"
He growled and turned his head to drop a kiss on her throat. "I love you, Elia. That word does not describe the feelings I have for you. I can't… There isn't…"
"I know," she whispered, "Me too," and her voice cracked.
She brought one hand up to cover her mouth and her shoulders shook once.
Reth whined in his throat and shushed her. But she began to quiver and shake for all the wrong reasons.
