The dam broke. All of the desire that he had managed to contain suddenly was free and he was swept away with the surge of passion.
Three things happened then, all at exactly the same time.
Each patron in the tavern looked toward the bar, as if they all had heard a loud sound that captured their attention.
The dim light around the two seemed to dwindle down to nothing, leaving them shrouded in darkness and protected from any curious eyes.
And he kissed her. Not a gentle kiss or something that could be mistaken for anything other than the pure all-consuming hunger that it was. It was the kiss of lovers who had been separated far too long. It was the kind of kiss that consumed every shred of doubt and any awareness of the world.
In the back of his mind, he could hear a small voice screaming at him, warning him that it was too much too soon. He recognized the voice...it was fear. It seemed that after all these years, Eularia wasn't the only one afraid of the unknown, afraid of clutching their lover's hand and taking a blind leap. But he would not be a slave to the fear. He couldn't be...not when they had the chance to be together again. Not when they had the chance at love.
His arms wrapped around her, pulling her so close it was hard to tell where his body ended and hers began. He could feel her heart beating in her chest, the way she shuddered as electricity shot down her spine leaving goosebumps in its wake.
He wanted so much more. He wanted to slide his warm hands under the fabric of her blouse, to feel her smooth skin and the way her body moved in rhythm with his. He could feel the need swell inside him.
But he knew that in some ways, the little voice was right. It was too much, too soon. So instead, he just lost himself in the kiss...barely managing to maintain the concentration needed to keep them shrouded in darkness and protected from observation.
When the kiss ended, his eyes found hers in the pale light that only they could see. Her eyes were mesmerizing, deep pools of umber that threatened to drown him.

She was still so alive...she just needed to seize the chance at happiness. She'd sacrificed her joy for too long...she deserved exhilaration and bliss.
