The Virtue

Skin.

(Theme Song is Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes)

Nova's POV

He traces my skin with his sturdy fingers as I giggle

I feel like a little girl again

The girl who runs in the field like magic, or the one who falls in love with stories which her dad tells her

My heartbeat goes slow and fast at the same time

As his skin syncopates on my skin while he nibbles my ear...

"I hate to go" I whisper as he glides his hands down my waist

"Then stay" He says mesmerisingly

And I blush...

The feelings come back to me, the way they were before. This times a gazillion times stronger.

As I drown in his love knowing that we fell apart, to fall back into each other's arm together

I feel weightless in his arms and magical on his lips 

Gravity and senses mean nothing to me now.

"Will you erase the past and be with me forever?" He asks as his ocean eyes stares into my earthly brown ones

His breath on my skin like oxygen..

"I wouldn't dare to think about living my life without you, I'll die Ivar, without your touch" I shiver as I speak the truth

I smile as he pushes the strands of my long brown hair behind my ears, "Neither can I" he says with his sweet nordic voice

The floodgates of emotions open up as the earth feels more beautiful..

The sky looks more blue...

And the forest a little more green...

It seems as those were the words I was born to hear in my life, I was born to be loved by Ivar Ragnarsson

"After the war is over" He says as he sucks my lip, "I want you to be with me, only me" He says

"I will be with you" I say as I take his hand and put it on my heart

"Promise me Ivar, that you will never lie to me, never deceive or manipulate me. Promise that the past is the past" I say as my lips shiver

"I have never done so Nova, trust me" Ivar says as his hand gets warm on the skin on my chest

"Past is the past" He whispers
