Forbidden Love

"The children are all tucked in and I think we should do the same." Alma says and I smile as my nerves were high from agreeing to Jacob. I will tell her tonight and I won't back down. "You seem nervous, everything alright?" She asks as she looks me over and I nod.

"If you want the guest room you can stay there." She says.

"No, no. I'm fine. It's just something else." I say and she frowns as she steps forward to me, taking my hands.

"It's not about your father, is it?" She asks and I shake my head. "Alright, come along." We made our way up the staircase and when we made it to her room, I sat on the edge of the bed as she undid her hair. My hands wouldn't stop shaking and I did everything I could to calm myself. I see her glance in my direction but she didn't seem to notice how on edge I really was. She grinned instead as she then came over to the bed and layed down behind me.

"Wide awake again? I would've taken it you would be tired by now." She says and I smile.

"Never am." I say thankful the shakiness in my voice was covered. I layed down on top of her and see her grin. "Don't shove me off, this is what I get for two nights in a row doing this for you." I scold and she sighs as she brushes my hair back with her taloned fingers.

"I wouldn't dream of it." She mutters and I tense for a moment when her other hand runs up my back. She sees me turn red and laughs a little. "Seriously, dear, what's wrong? Are you a bit flustered?" She says and tilts my head towards her, our noses close to touching. "No need to be." She mutters, her accent showing. I feel her breath against my lips and that's when I couldn't wait any longer. I lean down closer, quickly planting my lips on hers. She let a surprised noise at the sudden action but shortly returned it. When she did I kissed her a bit harder as she flipped us over to where she was on top  of me. One of her hands was held firmly on my side while the other was on the bed beside me, keeping her up straight. The kiss ended when we were out of breath when she started planting more down my neck and collarbone. I let out a small breathless laugh when she then looked up at me still on top of me in a straddling possition.

"What's so funny, dear?" She asks with a smirk as I knew my face was probably burning up.

"To think I was afraid to tell you." I say and she tilts her head. "I was afraid you would be mad."

"Be mad? Of course not, in fact I was happy you admitted before I did." She says as she leans down and gives me another kiss that makes me smile. When she sits back up she gives me a confused smile. "So that's what you were nervous about?" She says and I nod. "I'm glad to hear, I was afraid I did something wrong." She smiles  a bit and I frown.

"You didn't do anything wrong." I assure and she gives me a peck on the forehead.

"You should get some sleep, love." She says and I sigh out of defeat. "Sounds like you're tired for once."

"I feel tired for once." I say and smile when it makes her laugh.

"Goodnight, y/n." She says gently as I lay on top of her.

"Goodnight."
