She wanted sparks, blushes, tender touches, easy conversation.
She wanted someone who made her feel safe, heard, respected.
She wanted contented sighs and legs tangled with hers in the depths of the night.
She wanted someone who was equal parts gentle and fierce, who did not balk from her strange silence and troubled mind.
She wanted kisses that made her feel like she was leaving her body, and caresses that sent shivers through her limbs.
She wanted to turn over in her sleep and nuzzle into a warm, strong chest, arms wrapping tightly around her like she was precious.
She wanted to feel delighted, surprised, untamed, impassioned.
Elain believed in true love, and would settle for nothing less in her now immortal life.
She had all the time in the world to find it, she supposed.
