Damian POV

The early morning light breaks through a small gap in the curtains as I gaze at my sleeping angel. So far this time with her had been magical and I didn't want it to end.

Last night I had taken her by suprise by grabbing her, taking her outside and kissing her while the snow fell around us. When we had finally parted she smiled up at me so brightly as the snow flakes landed in her hair and on her eyelashes and I swear my heart had skipped a thousand beats in that moment.

Just been able to be however I wanted to be with her and being free to hold her and kiss her in public meant the world to me and I was loathe to go back to hiding it again. She was mine and I would give anything for the whole world to know that.

Slowly I run my fingertips down the side of her barely covered naked body, feeling her smooth warm skin against my own. She let's out a soft sigh but doesn't wake.

I reach out a softly move the hair off her face and as always her beauty takes my breath away. I knew exactly how I felt about her but everytime I try to tell her something interrupts me or she cuts me off by kissing me.

I allow my lips to caress along her shoulder and down her back along her spine earning a soft moan from her full lips.

"Mmm good morning baby" she smiles as her eyes flutter open

"Good morning my beautiful angel" I reply and she immediately blushes

"That's a new one" she giggles "I'm not complaining though"

"I say it because that is what you are to me" I say softly kissing her lips "I wish I could tell the world that you're mine.......maybe one day I'll be able to"

"One day" she smiles cupping my cheek "but what would the world think hearing that the punishment of the judgement day likes to kiss his girl under the falling snow? That he is a hopeless romantic?" She laughs

"They can think what they like" I say wrapping her in my arms "because I......." once again I'm cut off by her kissing me and I can't help but wonder if maybe she knows what I'm trying to say and she doesn't want to hear it.

Maybe she doesn't feel the same.

Neve POV

There is nowhere else on this earth I would rather be than wrapped up in this man's arms with his lips on mine. Annoyingly he seemed to want to talk alot, me not so much, I didn't need words I just needed to be with him.

When he took me outside and kissed me as the snow fell I knew then I'd found my person, the one for me. Like him I wanted the world to know about us, I didn't want to hide but right now it was more trouble than it was worth.

"Wait...." He says breaking the kiss "what if did something drastic? Like what if we did something that cements our relationship so much that they have to accept it?"

"If you are going to suggest we get married the answer is no" I say "that is not the way I'd want it to happen and not the reason it should happen"

"Actually I was going to suggest putting a bun in your oven but that is a much better idea" he smiles

"Are you crazy?" I gasp "I am not going to get pregnant by you just to make this bullshit stop and I can't believe you would even suggest that"

"You're right it's crazy, I'm sorry baby" he says as he trys to stop me getting out of the bed "I shouldn't have suggested it, please forgive me"

"Tell me something does marriage and children mean anything to you at all?" I ask "or it just a means to an end for you? Because if it is then......"

"Woah woah don't say another word" he says getting out of bed and taking me in his arms "listen to me, marriage and children means everything to me. What I said was a stupid, thoughtless, desperate idea by a man who is desperate to bring our relationship out of the shadows. I'm sorry I never meant to hurt or offend you baby please forgive me"

"I forgive you" I say against his bare chest "I understand, I want that too. What if.......what if you just tell her?"

"I wish it were that simple, she would see it as a reason to eliminate you, she could hurt you and I wouldn't be able to protect you" he sighs "I'll think of something I promise but it's going to take time"

"I agree with you D, what we have is worth fighting for" I say as he smiles up at me "so tell her, let her do what she will and let's fight for us"

"Are you sire about this?" He asks and I nod "you and me against the world right baby?"

"That's right, you're mine and I'm yours and nobody and nothing can stop us being together" I smile "this is a fight we won't lose"
