And what do the Titans do now?

I could feel the raging storm inside of her, trying to pull her in this and that direction. Could feel how she tried to deny herself what she wanted, because she was afraid to give into an imaginary weakness. She needed a balance, a foundation built on strength where she could anchor herself, then she spoke the words which would began the long, long journey of setting her finally free and I smiled.

Our lips brushed and I gently brushed her mind with my own, not saying anything, not taking and not giving, just giving her the time to make herself familiar with the intimacy. Too much would only scare her off, undo everything we had been working on from the first day we met. My thoughts went to that moment in the bar, when she had thought me her tool. Both of us had come far since that moment, in our own ways.

I didn’t answer her, didn’t need to, instead I kissed her again and carefully pulled her into my embrace. Showed her that this idiot cared, and surprising myself with the feelings that flowed into me by touching her.

His kiss took her breath away and for a moment, instinct took over and she tensed in his embrace, fear rising at her own emotional response. As the seconds passed she pushed back the fear, relaxing and allowing his mind to touch hers. Slowly but surely she stopped fighting the mental touch. The iron bars she visualized around her own mind began to corrode and for the first time, Anaya truly let him in.

Never before had she felt so intensely, never before had she shared such a connection with someone. It excited her as much as it terrified her. She wanted to be loved and she wanted to love in return but she did not want to be constricted by these emotions. If there was anyone that could understand the occasional need for detachment it was Jared Ovmar. She stopped thinking and simply danced along the link, sharing her own feelings with the man who was wrapped around her.

There was no pulling or pushing in this shared connection, no forced sharing. We were as close to each other as we wanted to be and not an inch more, it would be enough for now. Both of us were… special people, snowflakes in our own right, we craved for attachment and yet ran away from it at any opportunity we could get. Truly a paradox, yet this felt.. good, natural and while frightening at first, I felt myself starting to feel at ease.

Truth to be told a part of me didn't know how to truly feel about this, I wanted it and yet... freedom loomed at the corner. Think that in the end it was this that would keep us together though, a want for release once in a while. It would make it that much easier for us to respect each others wishes... because they were the same in some regards.
