Was this what it meant to feel true bliss? Complete and total calmness. Fallon had been in love before, but this was something entirely different. She did not feel overwhelmed or infatuated. Instead, her feelings were calm and rested. It was as if all her worries had been swept away.
She imagined herself lying in a boat, gently swaying on calm water surrounded by nothing but peace and tranquility. How had he done that to her? A man, who, by definition, could be described as chaotic and utterly mad, somehow had the capability to calm the tides. It was as if he was the Greek God Poseidon himself, controlling the waves. Outside, he was all rage, but on the inside, there was only beauty.
Fallon expected she would find herself waking up alone more often than not. She had come to learn that Rylan was a mere feather in the wind. To accept him meant she had to accept everything about him and everything he stood for. Everything he had ever done, he had done for others. He was honor-bound. He had dedicated his life to serve and protect. And though she did not see it as first, Rylan possessed more passion than any man she had ever known. It could be seen through his actions, his voice, and in the intensity of his eyes, and for that, she knew she would always love him. He may not be able to show her the love and attention she desired, but she knew that no matter their differences, he loved her with all he had.
