Ozen cradled the small, soft face, and closed her eyes. She was still unused to anything more than the touching of lips, but she tried to follow Lyza’s lead, tongue peeking for tentative caresses. She stroked the smooth cheeks, long digits tracing the line of jaw. She sighed through her nose, and gave Lyza’s cute little mouth a firm peck.
“I–…” The words welled from within her, catching in her throat. She opened her eyes, and leaned away, studying Lyza’s face through a half-lidded gaze.
“…I think I…truly…” Her voice lowered to a whisper.
“…I might love you a little…”
Lyza nuzzled in contently, hands resting gently on Ozen’s shoulders as she relished in every moment of the simple pleasure of kissing her beloved. It was timid and gentle, Ozen’s fingers leaving lightly ticklish trails along her cheeks with ginger touches in between soft breaths, shaky and unsure. But the soft and supple swells of Ozen’s lips were tantalizing, and Lyza couldn’t get enough of their taste. With each touch, she eased in a little more, stealing deeper and longer brushes of lips, pushing against fleeting glimpses of tongue that promised more to follow.
When Ozen pulled away, Lyza’s breath fluttered with closed eyes, tongue idly moving to lick and gentle suck on her own lips to bask in the lingering sensations. She looked up at Ozen with a sunny smile, eyes shining her gentle affection into those of her partner as Lyza waited for her to speak.
The whisper washed over Lyza and froze her stiff in an instant, only her lips quivering as she processed Ozen’s quiet confession. Her heart thumped hard, and the rapid flush of her cheeks made the warmth of the preceding smile look pale and thin with the onset of a deep glow. All Lyza could do was stare, struggling to form words, her lashes fluttering as joyful tears welled in the corners of her eyes.
“You... lo....? Lo..ve... me?”
She raised a hand to her cheek, trying to wipe the beads from her lashes with fingers as she lowered her face. Lyza couldn’t describe the feelings that filled her, currents of sadness and vulnerability twined around strong joy, and the deep fulfillment of an endless longing.
“I’ve... wanted..I’ve waited... for you.. to say that... for so, so long...”
“You love me.... you love me...! ha.... ha ha...!”
Lyza’s breath trembled with soft, sniffling laughs, lips split in a joyful smile. Her face dipped towards Ozen’s collar, small hands clenched against her as Lyza tucked her body tight into Ozen’s chest.
“Say it... tell me again Ozen, again, and again...please...”
