Chapter 54: Falling

Atlas collapsed on top of her as they tried to catch their breath. Their ragged breath sounded in the quite room. He lifted his head and looked at Meredith, his blue eyes blazing with emotions.

Meredith's heart thudded in her chest. Maybe it was because they just had sex but she felt some inexplicable bond between them.

He traced his finger across her cheeks without saying anything.

"Wha-" Her words were interrupted when he crushed his lips to hers kissing her slowly as if he wanted his kiss to say the words his mouth was too afraid to say.

"I have always imagined how it would be like when I finally claim you as mine. I didn't think it would be this good. Thank you, Angel." He whispered and laid beside her staring at the ceiling.

Meredith smiled, "No thank you. You made all these years of waiting worth it."

Atlas turned to face her, lying on her side. He pulled her closer to him their nose touching each other.
