If tonight was really just a dream, Kai Piers thought, he hoped to never wake up.
This version of Aurora Dupont was something he had only ever dreamt of.
Again tonight, he had realized an aspiration.
Aurora Dupont was beneath him, so docile.
She wasn't drunk, she wasn't unconscious, and she didn't resist him. She merely gazed at him, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, seemingly inviting him in.
Kai Piers... lost control, completely lost control.
In the deepest moment, Aurora, weakly clinging to his shoulders, shed a single tear.
She spoke in a low voice: "Kai Piers, I have nothing left to give you... I only have myself..."
"Aurora, Aurora," He repeatedly uttered her name, entirely neglecting her words, just wishing to express his emotions of the moment, "I love you."
"Aurora Dupont, I love you."
Kai Piers gave all his love to her, right at that moment.
Tresses tangled, in Aurora's eyes there was still a glimmer of lucidity.
