Elizabeth's smile grew before she gently, yet eagerly, captured Farah’s lips against hers. It had been a while since she kissed anyone like this, let alone a woman. But she still knew what she was doing. She’d had her fair share of experimental relationships before so this was no problem.

It was amazing to feel the softness of her lips against her own, bringing back memories of a more carefree time in her life. As much as she wanted to make this kiss last longer, she wouldn't put Farah in an uncomfortable position.

Farah’s lips were thin, and she pressed back into the kiss to return Elizabeth’s eagerness. She savored the feeling of the other woman cupping her face to keep her close, and Farah’s hands slipped down to gently hold Elizabeth’s hips.

After a few moments, Farah drew back and studied Elizabeth’s face. “You’re holding back,” she remarked quietly. “Why?”

Elizabeth smiled at Farah's touch, happy that she was already that comfortable with their situation. “Did you get your magic back already?” she teased softly, not denying her observation. “I just want you to know that you're safe with me. I’m never going to do anything that you don't want. I want you to feel safe.” she tried to explain.

Farah rolled her eyes at the little tease. "Even without my magic, I'm still observant, you know," she murmured, pecking Elizabeth's lips briefly while smiling. Her sweet expression broke at the edges upon hearing Elizabeth's explanation.

The fairy swallowed heavily before letting out a sigh to relax. "Darling, I already do," she said simply. Her eyes searched Elizabeth's as she whispered, "You're nothing like she was." Then her lips sealed the words against Elizabeth's mouth as she instigated the kiss.

“I know you are.” Elizabeth chuckled, returning the brief kiss with a smile. But she kept her hands on Farah as her expression changed. “Really? Do you really?” she asked softly before the fairy kissed her again. Though she nearly laughed again at the comparison. I certainly hope not. she thought as she kissed Farah back.

Farah’s returning smile was the most genuine expression of happiness on her face in weeks, months even. “You’d better,” she teased.

Not wanting to break the kiss but still wanting to answer, Farah mumbled her answer directly into Elizabeth’s mouth, “Yes.” After she broke off the kiss this time, she was slightly breathless.

“I think I do. You're very smart.” Elizabeth smiled back, admiring the expression on Farah’s face and how much more beautiful it made her look.

She hummed, smiling as the kiss ended. “I haven't kissed someone like that in a long time.” she admitted. “You’re really good at this.”

Farah blushed shyly and ducked her head. “I… Thank you,” she murmured. It almost sounded like she was going to refuse the compliment at first, but she changed her mind.

A quiet laugh escaped her at Elizabeth’s admission. “Neither have I,” she agreed. But the words, as sweet and innocent as they were, sparked dark memories in the back of Farah’s mind. Dark, wicked memories that she knew she’d never forget.

Quickly, she stepped out of Elizabeth’s embrace and turned her head away. It took her a few seconds to realize what she’d done, and she turned back to the other woman with shock and regret on her face. “Sorry,” she whispered.

Elizabeth chuckled at the way the fairy took the compliment and kissed her forehead. Her smile grew a little when she heard Farah laugh… But as she moved away, it wasn't hard to guess what had popped into her head. “Farah, you don't have to apologize. I wanted to kiss you. I wanted you to kiss me.” she assured. “You didn't do anything wrong. I liked kissing you.”

Farah nodded slowly. “Yes, I know,” she agreed quietly. “But it’s just… she’s so ingrained in me, and I hate it. I want her out of my head and she won’t leave!” The fairy closed her eyes and sighed. “I just… I want to be good. For you.” Her eyes opened and looked at Elizabeth with soft, hopeful adoration. “I want to put her behind me and focus on you and only you.”

Elizabeth gently pulled Farah close to her and wrapped her in a hug. “You are good.” she insisted softly. “If you’ll let me, I can try to help you put her behind you. Help you move on in your life. I’m here for you.” she assured though she had a brief thought that she was glad Farah couldn't hear, she just wasn't sure if that action would actually help get the evil fairy out of Farah’s head.

Farah immediately let herself rest against Elizabeth's body. She closed her eyes, savoring the other's soft, reassuring words. "Thank you," Farah whispered, nestling her face in the crook of Elizabeth's neck. A small smile bloomed on her lips as an idea rose in her mind. Slowly, she inched forward and pressed her lips to Elizabeth's soft neck. Her kiss lingered a few long moments before she drew back and kissed another spot.

Elizabeth was surprised by the bold action Farah decided to make but made no move to stop her. If anything, she turned her head slightly so Farah had more access. “That feels nice.” she sighed, letting her eyes close.

Farah noticed the tilt of Elizabeth’s head to give her more skin. More sweet places to kiss. “That is entirely my intent, darling,” Farah murmured, letting her warm breath fan across Elizabeth’s skin before she kisses her again, just under her jaw.

Elizabeth chuckled softly, shuddering at the feeling of Farah’s breath on her neck. It had been a long time since anyone made her feel like this and she was going to enjoy every second of it with Farah. She let out a hum as the woman kissed her again and held her closer.

Farah felt Elizabeth's body shudder, and she smirked against the human's skin. She continued going slow, pacing herself and adjusting as Elizabeth pulled her closer. Farah wasn't complaining. Then, deciding to be a little bit daring, she moved her lips to a spot she'd just been kissing and started sucking lightly. Her hands continued cradling Elizabeth's hips, and her thumbs slipped up just under her shirt to caress and rub circles on the skin there.

Elizabeth let out a breathless gasp at the change but didn't fight. She arched her back as Farah rubbed against her skin. “God, you're good at this.” she moaned, pressing her hands into the small of Farah’s back.

Elizabeth's gasp sent butterflies swirling through Farah's stomach. She'd never heard such a beautiful sound in all her life. A contented smile spread on her face as she felt Elizabeth arch her back. Easily, Farah pulled the other girl into her grip and traced her tongue over the spot she'd been sucking. "You're easy to be good for," she whispered, biting down gently on the same spot.

Suddenly, a voice from behind Farah ripped her away from the moment with Elizabeth. "Doing your Edward Cullen impersonation?" Saul asked, an amused smirk set on his face as he approached.

Farah immediately pulled her mouth away from Elizabeth's neck and stepped back out of the embrace with a wild blush creeping over her face. Her eyes located Saul and promptly glared at him.

Ben was keeping pace beside Saul on his right, eyes wide and mouth open as he watched the women in front of him. And on Saul's other side was a fairy with mousy brown hair, eyes the color of chocolate, and an adoring smile on her face.

Farah's embarrassment faded for a moment, and excitement lit up her expression. "Rose!" She broke into a short run toward the other female, who laughed and hurried to meet Farah in a tight and joyful hug. "I've missed you," she whispered.

"We've missed you too, Fa," Rose whispered back, clutching Farah tightly as if she might disappear.

Finally, the women broke apart, and Farah looked back over her shoulder at Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, this is Rose. Ben's fiancée, soon to be wife." The female earth fairy grinned and held up her left hand to let the ring on her finger catch the hazy sunlight. "Rose, this is Elizabeth."

"Yes," Rose said simply, still smiling as she walked past Farah and approached Elizabeth easily. "Ben's already told me about you. Said you were just like Farah but with a lot more rationale."

Farah's eyes widened, then immediately shot to Ben, who ducked his head and shrugged.

"It's so nice to meet you!" Rose enthused, wrapping her arms around Elizabeth in a quick hug before stepping back.

"Sorry, I should have warned you she's a hugger," Farah quipped. Rose only rolled her eyes and nudged the mind fairy in the ribs.

Elizabeth’s eyes snapped open at the lick, feeling her face warm as she moaned again when Farah bit her neck. It was unexpected but damn if it didn't feel good!

She jumped back when Saul suddenly spoke up before giving him a playful glare. “I’m surprised you know about those trashy novels.” she quipped at the reference.

The former Marine simply fixed her hair as her blush started dying down and she looked over at the other two. Though she smiled at the apparent introduction of old friends. “Is that really the first impression gave?” she chuckled at Ben’s fiancee’s comparison before returning the hug.”It's nice to meet you too, Rose. And congratulations to the both of you.” she smiled at the couple as the hug ended.

Farah savored the sound of Elizabeth's moan, and it only made her angrier at Saul for breaking up their moment.

Saul held up his hands in mock surrender. "Hey, Farah's the one who made me read. I just decided to pick something more interesting than dusty old fairy textbooks." Farah rolled her eyes and scoffed under her breath.

Rose blushed a bit at the congratulations. "Thank you," she replied sweetly. "Oh, Fa. It's not a bad thing," she continued with a sly smile. Her eyes drifted to Elizabeth as she added, "Farah needs someone to keep her in check."

The blush that had been lingering and slowly fading came back immediately on Farah's cheeks. "Rose!" she cried out.

Eager to contribute to the banter, Saul immediately threw an arm around Farah's shoulders and hugged her tightly to his side. "It'll be nice to have another voice of reason," he remarked, winking at Elizabeth easily. "Make sure our little Farah doesn't do anything too stupid."

Farah cast a fake-pleading look at Elizabeth. "You see how they all gang up on me!" she groaned. "It's not bloody fair!" She turned her head and frowned at Saul. "And don't you call me little. I'm older than you!"

"All's fair in love and war," Rose teased at the same time Saul protested, "Bullshit! You are not!"

“So you picked up one of the worst romance novels ever written?” Elizabeth quipped back, raising a brow. “You could have at least read something with class.”

“Fa?” she questioned, smirking at the mind fairy. Though she only chuckled at Rose’s teasing. Which soon turned into a full laugh as Saul and Farah joined in. “Well, I don't know how much of a voice of reason I’m going to be. I was pretty wild at the start of my training. I might take her side more than yours. But I’ll do what I can to protect her.” she grinned. “How about that? First human from First World to join your group.”

Farah and Ben both snickered as Saul was taken aback. Then, he grinned broadly and crossed his arms. "I knew there was a reason I liked you," he remarked.

Though Farah bit her lip, her face heating up again, as Elizabeth caught her nickname. Rose's eyes widened. "You didn't tell her your nickname?" she asked incredulously.

"Of course not," Farah shot back. "It's embarrassing!" But her frown faded into a proud smile at Elizabeth's words. She shrugged Saul's arm off and stepped beside Elizabeth to loop her arm around the woman's waist. "You'd better take my side," Farah teased, arching her eyebrows and looking at Elizabeth.

The rest of the group exchanged a knowing look behind Farah's back before Rose nodded. "We all protect each other," she said simply. Ben placed a hand on her shoulder, and Rose affectionately pressed her cheek against it.

"Indeed," Farah agreed softly. "How special you are, darling."

Saul fake gagged, and Rose and Ben both shot him a dirty look.

Elizabeth just grinned back, already knowing she was going to have fun teasing Saul.

“Personally, I think it's kinda musical but I probably won't use it much.” she shrugged, wrapping her arm around Farah when the fairy stood beside her.

She smiled as Ben and Rose agreed with her before shooting Saul a raised brow. “Don't you have a boyfriend? No need to be a hypocrite.”

(Not my entire reply getting deleted…)

Farah smiled as she leaned into Elizabeth’s touch. “I don’t mind it so much if you were to call me that,” she murmured. “It’s these idiots who started shortening my name one day and never stopped.

Rose stuck her tongue out and giggled. “Come on, it suits you, Fa. Short and sweet.”

“May I remind you that I’m older than you, taller than you, and definitely not sweet?” Farah quipped looking at Saul, then Rose with each “you.”

Saul only chuckled at Elizabeth’s accusation. “Andreas and I have never been a PDA kind of couple. Which means it give me more of an excuse to make fun of them. Like you-” he paused to indicate Rose and Ben “-and now you two.” A nod toward Farah and Elizabeth.

Farah offered him a vulgar gesture in return.

(Ouch! Hate when that happens)

“We’ll see, sweetheart.” Elizabeth smirked, agreeing that it was a cute nickname. Though she couldn't help but hold her hand over Farah's head for reference.

She gave a small half-shrug at Saul’s explanation. “I guess that's fair. But now you just opened yourself up to witnessing a whole lot more PDA.” she smirked, pulling Farah closer to her side.

Farah blushed lightly at the pet name and tilted her head back to hide it. She busied herself with looking at Elizabeth’s hand, amusement shining in her gaze. “You’re not taller than me either,” she remarked. “We’re the same height.”

The spark of amusement turned into a full flame at Elizabeth’s indication. “Indeed he did,” she cooed before her fingers guided Elizabeth’s face to hers by her chin and she leaned in until their lips touched.

“I know that.” she smirked. “But it makes it easier to kiss you.” she pointed out, melting into the kiss without hesitation when Farah decided to continue the teasing against Saul.

Farah's eyes fluttered closed, and she slid her lips over Elizabeth's easily. As desperately as she wanted to resume kissing the other woman's neck, she held back. That would be picked up in private, sometime in the very near future.

With her eyes closed, Farah couldn't see what Saul had done, but she knew it had to be something off-color because she heard the sound of a hit, then Saul's cry of "Ow! Dammit, Rose!"

Farah immediately began to laugh into the kiss and broke away to look over. Saul was rubbing his upper arm, and Rose stood beside him with a smug look on her face. "Serves you right," the female earth fairy chirped. Saul only glared at her, but there was no real anger behind the expression.

Elizabeth hummed softly into the kiss, enjoying the feeling almost as much as the earlier affection. But she laughed easily when the kiss ended at the sound of Saul’s reaction. “I don't know what you did, but I'm going to agree with Rose. You probably deserved it.”

Rose grinned eagerly at Elizabeth as she said "Thank you!" at the same time Saul let out a cry of outrage.

"You can't side with her, you didn't even see what I did! What if I didn't do anything at all?" Saul asked, glancing at Farah for support he knew he wouldn't get.

Farah only shook her head. "You definitely did something," she remarked with a smirk identical to Rose's. The two women had obviously been partners in crime before. But the smirk lost its light as she thoughtfully added, "And I think it's about time that we headed back to check on our blood witch friend, wouldn't you agree?"

All of the good-humored anger left Saul's face and was abruptly replaced with a stone-cold expression.

"That's… why we all came out here, Farah," Ben remarked. "Well, to make sure the two of you were alright, of course. But-"

"Farah, he asked to see you," Rose interrupted. "Alone."

Farah inhaled and stiffened. "Let's head back," was all she said, letting her arms fall from around Elizabeth and leading the way back, talking with Saul and Ben as she went.

Rose hung back and fell into step beside Elizabeth. "How are you getting along?" she asked kindly. "I'm sure it must be overwhelming to have come here on such short notice."
