Tabitha Murphy and her partner, Mikey are looking to escape the past, looking for a place to call home and a place where they will be accepted. Their last resort is Hope County’s Project Eden where they meet Joseph Seed. Joseph wants to help Tabitha overcome her past and her demons, but perhaps his motivations aren’t the most noble.
AN: I'm really sorry for the long wait between chapters but recently my partner and I moved into our first house so all of the adulting took priority. Hopefully now that Im settling, I'll be able to get chapters out faster <3

Hello 🤗 I don't know if you take the prompts but I would like to see what you can write for Tabitha and Joseph with :
Tracing your features with their fingertip like you're a sculpture in a museum and they were not supposed to touch you, but god, they can’t help it.
Believe it or not, your my first real fanfic prompt on Tumblr! Thank you so much for asking <3

Joseph looked down at his sleeping wife, a soft smile tugging at his lips. Her head rested in his lap, slightly tilted away from him. The fire had gone out half an hour ago, only embers left now but the warmth remained. The book Joseph had been reading to her was set aside, the page marked and ready to pick up where they left off tomorrow evening. They were currently sixty pages through Persuasion by Jane Austin. Tabitha had originally laughed at the suggestion, considering Austin too cliché when it came to romance novels.
But the one thing she couldn’t resist was Josephs voice, she found it soothing, engaging. He had a way with words that held her attention no matter the subject. He could probably read her an instruction manual, and she’d listen. Then again, most people who heard Joseph speak were drawn in and ready to join his cause.
Joseph admired the change in Tabitha’s face whilst she slept now compared to when they had first met. Back then she’d struggled to sleep and even when she had, Tabitha had looked troubled. A soft frown furrowing her brow, her eyes scrunched at the corners, her mouth slightly downturn. She used to toss and turn, murmuring in her sleep. Joseph used to stroke her hair to soothe her during those times, something that hadn’t been his right back then.
Now she slept so peacefully, no worries creasing her brow, no nightmares to disturb her. Tabitha was his gift from God. An angel sent to Joseph for him to cherish. And he had done just that, making sure every day Tabitha knew how loved she was. Joseph was grateful to have had a chance to fall in love again when he had previously given up on it.
Joseph knew he should let Tabitha sleep, he knew he shouldn’t make any movements that might disturb her rest, but he couldn’t help himself. She was Gods finest creation and deserved to be admired as such, to be worshiped. Gently he traced her cheek bone, watching for any sign of her stirring. When her breathing remained even, he continued his exploration of her angelic features.
Her flesh was warm under his fingertips, soft to the touch. Age had not yet defined her skin with lines, as it had started to do with his. His fingers ghosted over the pink curve of her lips, the urge to kiss her growing. But Joseph resisted, knowing that would wake her. His angel deserved to rest, although he knew eventually, he would have to rouse her so they could move upstairs to bed.
But for now, he was simply enjoying the moment, the silent, soft exploration of his wife’s features. Some days he questioned who he was more devoted too, God or his wife. His fingertips slowly traced her jawline, down to the point of her chin. At that moment, Honey, the tabby cat that Tabitha had rescued on her birthday last year jumped up onto the couch. Joseph met the cats gaze, both of them sharing a silent agreement to not wake Tabitha.
Honey instead wedged herself behind Tabitha’s legs, curling up there. Joseph didn’t understand how that placement was comfortable, but he understood the desire to be close to Tabitha. More so when Tabitha treated Honey like her own child which just increased Josephs longing to make her a mother. One day soon, he would.
