A Burden Shared

We landed on a deserted island as the moon started to rise, when you looked up you could see stars twinkling brightly, like little jems in the sky. I was brought out of my daze by a voice "What happened up there?! Are you ok?"

He had come up behind me on the edge of the cliff and placed a hand on my shoulder. I felt bad as it was not his fault I got upset and snapped.

"I'm sorry. It is just that many people want to seize power in this word, and my feathers hold lots of it."

I held my feather up to the moon light as it glistened with magic

"Look, magic flows around it. Which puts me and my wings in danger."

I turned to face him and I put the feather in his hand.

"Keep it. I trust that you will use this not for bad, but for good. Only three people know about this. Myself, my mother and now you. I'm trusting you with fate."

Several moments passed when he finally said "Why. Why do you trust me with this?!"

My only answer was

"I do not know, All I know is that you will do what is right."

When I turned and walked away he grabbed my wrist. His eyes burrowed into mine and he spoke with that husk voice which sent shivers down my spine

"I'm glad you shared this with me"

he pulled me close and wrapped his wings around me, holding me in a comfortable embrace. He was so close my heart fluttered, his blue eyes pierced me as his eyes traced my lips heat rose to my cheeks his mouth lowered to my ear when he whispered

"You don't have to bear this burden alone. I will always be here. By your side."

His hands wound around my back pulling me closer I was right up against his chest, when he started a trail of kisses down my neck as he gently slid his hand down my back he caressed my left cheek and I let out a gasp. When he turned me around I melted as he slowly lowered me to the ground trailed his kisses down my open back each one like fire on my skin. He turned me around again and started to kiss my lips, each kiss filled with passion and hunger,my hands were wound in his hair. When suddenly he pulled back, lust and desire filled his eye's as he breathed heavily and so did I, I wanted this. I wanted him.

"We should get some rest"

he was still breathing deeply and never took his eyes off me

"We have a long flight ahead of us"

He stood and offered me his hand, when I got up. Side by side he held my hand gently and we started to walk.
