[SE] Ignore all the burdens that you keep

Tryin' to wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share

He hoped that one day, Maea’s walls would come crashing down for good, at least where he was concerned. But until that day came, he would be right here to reassure her: to coax her hands from over her face or soothe the blush from her cheeks. In the meantime, his breath hitched as she caught his thumb between her fangs, not hard enough to break skin, but just enough to taunt. He could feel her pulse pounding in her chest, so closely were they pressed together. He could watch it flutter at her throat.

This time, when she breathed her desires into the scant space between them, Liam allowed his arm to move so that she could cover her eyes while keeping their fingers intertwined. Just for a moment, even though it pained him to watch her hide away from him, as though there were some judgment she expected him to pass that would find her wanting. But where the first time had been about them both, this time would be about her. Wholly, completely, and part of what that meant to Liam was allowing her a moment when she needed it.

”As you wish,” he murmured, rolling his hips again. Slowly, sensuously, fully intending to take his time, to find each spot that made Maea moan or whimper, and go worship each and every one. He kissed her then, releasing her hand to skim his fingertips lightly down her side, aiming to tease and arouse, bringing her slowly back towards an inevitable pinnacle.

Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
