"But… you make me want to believe again. I thank you for making my world a place where forgiveness exists."
Aries smiled against his lips, securing her arms around his neck. His hand held her waist still while the other hooked under her legs.
Keeping her eyes closed, she still felt her body elevate as he stood up. Without parting lips with her, Abel carried her to the bed. She only realized their destination when her back hit the mattress slowly.
She opened her ever so slowly, watching him draw away, hovering over her.
"You love me?" she asked, reaching for his face to caress it.
Abel leaned his face into her palm, planting a light peck on it. "Very much… to a degree too great to be reasonable or acceptable," he breathed out, eyes on her.
"Do you love me?" he returned the question, making her squint her eyes as her smile stretched a little.
"More than much," she whispered, making him smile.
