I Would Choose You by colorado_writing

Summary
"Nikolai should have known that her kiss would be nothing less than all-consuming. Zoya was the Stormwitch, after all, a hurricane of power, a tempest in blue silk. And Nikolai was just a privateer, standing on the deck in the sea spray, waiting for the shipwreck.
He let out a breath, and let himself drown."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an alternative ending to Chapter 31 of Rule of Wolves, picking up right when Nikolai tells Zoya that he would choose her. I included a passage from the chapter and then used some punctuation to indicate where my writing starts. All characters/world-building are of course from the incredible Leigh Bardugo!!

Summary
Nikolai reached for her, the way he had wanted to so many times before. He traced the line of her jaw with his fingertips, tilting her chin up. Zoya was barely breathing. And yet he could feel her shivering, shivering under his touch. That was enough confirmation for Nikolai. He leaned in further, lips hovering just above hers. Giving her a chance to pull away. His fingers ran along her neck, down her still exposed back. Zoya’s gaze wavered for a moment, darting down to his lips, then back up to his eyes. A silent confirmation, although she never spoke.

Summary
“I’ve had an illustrious life, Zoya,” she tells her. His hand skates higher, brushing the conclusion of her sternum, and it makes goosebumps break out between her breasts. “I once slept in wildflowers. A whole field of them.”
The thought of it sounds nice, but admitting that to him feels too close to telling a secret, and she is not yet there; he has her heart and her ribbon in wholes, but the rest of her is coming slowly. She is revealing herself in ebbs and flows like the tide.
“I can't imagine the bugs,” she says.

OR; Nikolai in the cradle of her thighs
