to what Felix was doing. The anticipation caused the tickle of butterflies in her stomach.
Felix aided Demona in sitting on the ground. She felt a soft fabric graze her fingers below her as she used a hand to settle on the ground and adjust herself. She listened as Felix sat beside her. She felt the warmth of his body against hers and a tingling heat spread over her body with his proximity. She was tempted to peek to see what was going on, but decided to wait a few moments longer.
“Okay, now you can open your eyes.”
Demona opened her eyes to find small flames flickering around her. Felix had lit a few candles which provided provide just enough light to see just their immediate surroundings. The two sat on a blanket on the cool ground in the training field. The music from the reception drifted in their direction, but it was quiet enough for Demona to hear her heart thumping quickly within her chest.
Felix lay down on the blanket and waited for Demona to do the same. She lay down with Felix and rested her head on his arm. He wrapped the other arm around her when she was settled into place. The two stared up into the sky at the starlight above. Demona was at peace as she listened to Felix breathe deeply and she attempted to figure out what colors the stars were: white, blue, or red.
The snowflakes fell gently around them as they looked upward into the heavens. Some of the cold flakes landed on Demona’s face, each felt like a cold gentle kiss before it melted away. The sky was beautiful with the grayish hue of snow falling from the sparse clouds above. Demona snuggled closer to Felix, as if trying to steal his warmth, and he embraced her more tightly.
They lay there in silence for a while. Neither spoke. There was no need to; the moment was perfect as it was. Words could not do justice to the feelings they held for one another. Just to be alone together was wonderful enough. Felix stroked Demona’s head as she lay next to him and he gently ran his fingers through her thick wavy hair. The sensation gave Demona goose bumps. She drifted into a peaceful state of mind, focusing on the sensation of his fingers in her hair and the sound of his breathing. It was not often that they could be together uninterrupted.
The world around them had become so chaotic that it was a miracle that Demona had even a moment to speak to Felix some days. Her position as liaison and her key role in the events that were unfolding left her with little time to even catch a breath. Sometimes she felt as if she would suffocate as her responsibilities seemed to weigh her down. She was not willing to give up this moment with Felix and planned to take full advantage of it in all of its beauty. Demona tried to push thoughts of what the next day would bring out of her mind. She wanted to focus on the here and now and forget the horrors that were taking place on a daily basis.
Demona repositioned herself by turning onto her stomach and propping her head up on her elbows in order to gaze into Felix’s eyes. The candles made his eyes gleam in the darkness. He smiled up at her as she gazed down at him. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face and placed his thumb and pointer finger on her chin. He gently directed Demona’s face down towards his own and closed his eyes moments before their lips met.
The chill in the air was instantaneously pushed away by the flame that burned within Demona when her mouth touched Felix’s. The soft feel of his lips against hers caused warmth to spread throughout her body; travelling from head to toe. She was overwhelmed by his touch and his taste.
Demona opened her eyes momentarily and noticed that the candle flames glowed larger and more brightly from her rampant emotions and mageia . They were similar to torches in the darkness and produced heat that enveloped the two of them. Demona quickly unzipped her thick coat as the heat from the torches and their passion made her body
