Mikhailis gave Elowen a playful look, his eyes glinting with warmth.
"Only a little bit. But don't worry—I'm being extra careful this time. Besides, I believe that you would love this very much."
Elowen smiled, stepping closer, her golden eyes softening. She reached out, her fingers brushing gently against Mikhailis' cheek before leaning in, her lips meeting his in a tender kiss. It was soft at first, just a simple connection that spoke of familiarity and love. Slowly, it deepened, her lips pressing against his as she brought herself closer, her hand moving to rest on his chest.
Mikhailis responded, his own hand cupping her face, feeling the warmth of her skin under his palm. It was a moment that felt like the world had disappeared, leaving only the two of them—free of worries, of duties, of the burdens that came with their roles. He felt her sigh softly against his lips, the tension leaving her shoulders as she relaxed into him.
