I'm just a cherub riding comets through the night sky
Vesper exhales a lazy, satisfied sound as she curls around him, her fingers in his hair doing far more damage than any of her sharper words ever could. The tenderness, the warmth—it seeps into him before he can stop it, and for a breath or two, he just lets it. Lets himself float there in the afterglow, the fire between them reduced to golden embers that flicker just beneath his skin.
But he feels it too—when it starts to pull away. The way the edges of her thoughts begin to harden again, how reality starts knocking like the tide claiming back the shore. His eyes stay half-lidded as she speaks, but there’s a flick of mischief in them as he answers, "Lucky for us both I live in a place not too terribly different from this then, huh?"
When she rolls into him to study his face, he lets her. Doesn’t look away, just meets her gaze, calm and steady, like he knows exactly what she’s doing—and doesn’t mind in the least. There’s something unsaid there, something that lingers between them like heat still trapped in the sand. But he doesn’t name it, nor does he try to keep her longer than the moment wants to stretch.
Her kiss lands soft against his chest and his hand lifts to skim along her back as she rises. "Guess you'll be wantin' a pony ride back to where he started?" he murmurs with a crooked grin, still sprawled like he owns the stretch of beach they’d just wrecked.
