Zoe's laughter was pleasantly lost in the kiss. She didn't fight him off, or resist either. Her body pressed closely to his. She didn't seem to care much if people were watching at that moment either.
When he pulled back, he would see a teasing smile on the warrior woman's lips. A brow raised as she watched his face.
"So you knew I loved you, mm?" She laughed softly. "You just didn't want to say anything?" Her fingers curled in his shirt as the smile faded a little and the teasing left.
"How long have you...?" Known, felt the same, waited. She looked at him. There was a hint of fear in her eyes, not because he had known or might have known. Saying it meant that if he ever left, she'd lose someone else she had given her heart to. She wasn't sure she would recover from that.
"I think I need to sit down." It was very real how she strongly she felt for him, which shocked her, even if she had decided some time ago this was how she felt. Saying it made it real.
