Creatures of the Dark

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't."

He smiled. "By the way, I have something for you." He told her.

CJ looked at him with surprise. "Oh?"

HE pulled out a small box from his back pocket. "Don't worry it's not the type of ring that you think."

She moved to sit up watching him. "Alright..." she whispered curiously a note of confusion still clear in her voice.

He handed the box to her watching her. Inside was the ri g that she had once called their promise ring when he originally knew her and he looked at. Her.

CJ opened the box slowly her eyes falling upon the ring inside and she was instantly at a loss for words. "Matthew...how did you?..."

"I bought it back then but I didn't have time to give you it." He told her. "So I kept it hoping to find you again."

She took it from the box sliding it onto her finger. "Thank you..." she whispered wrapping her arms around him.

He held her close. "Well, I did promise you that I would stay, so call it a touchable promise." He told her playfully, kissing her cheek and then the crook of her shoulder.

She pressed her face into his shoulder tangling her fingers in his shirt. "It might seem simple but this really means a lot to me..."

He smiled softly holding her close.

She smiled curling up against him.

He kissed her head. "I'm not going to leave you ever again."

CJ lofted her head to brush her lips against his jaw. "Good, I don't ever want to be without you again."

He smiled softly brushing his lips to hers..

She kissed him back gently.

He kissed her deeply.

She quickly matched her kiss to his pulling him against her.

He moved as close as she wanted moving a hand into her hair.

She smiled against his lips.

He smiled softly feeling her smile.

She deepened the kiss slowly.

He matched his kiss to hers.

She slid her hand beneath his shirt as she kissed him.
