Only Us
They had been sneaking away together for almost a year. Their relationship was a secret between the two of them that flickered in their eyes each time they bickered over long-worn out topics at family dinners.
Feyre and Rhys were out ‘touring the city’, whatever that meant, whilst Elain and Azriel were on yet another date, Mor was out partying and Amren was probably in the attic she calls home. Perfect.
“Cass!”, Nesta called from down the stairs- “They’re gone!”
His bare feet couldn’t have moved any faster as he ran down the stairs two at a time- practically jumping the last five.
“Finally, what took them so long?” He murmured as he brought his head down to her neck- leaving small kisses from her collarbone to her lips.
She smiled and replied, “I think if they knew what we were planning to do they would leave much quicker.” before reaching for the buttons on his tunic.
Their lips moved together in perfect synchrony until, and even after, they reached the dinner table where Nesta straddled him- covering her body with his just like that terrible moment all those months ago.
“You’re never wrong, Nes.” Cassian murmured back, against her skin.
