Azimir caressed Aylin's cheeks before he cupped her face. His eyes were dripping with love and devotion and Aylin lost herself completely in them. This was the first time a man had looked at her without any lust and she could not help but feel touched and adored. Her eyes that were already red and teary were just short of letting go of the teardrops that hung on her eyelashes.
Azimir's heart ached to see the strong and beautiful lady on the verge of tears. She had shed her armor and had laid before him her heart, revealing her true emotions. None of her words were coated, nor did she lie to him about what she felt for him. She had lost her domineering aura of a Commander and was now filled with the charms of a lady in love.
