no vacancy

save your eyes for someone brighter than i will ever be

A haze engulfs him, of lust and simmering embers and waves lapping against the inside of him, calming and quelling the flames of desire she’d given him that he shared with her. His skin is sensitive to the hands that stroke along it, goosebumps rising in her wake as he goes to pull himself away from her, breath still heavy as he tries to contain his thundering heart. And it works a fraction, still hovering above her as she reaches for his face and he gives into the gentle kiss to his lips, the tenderness to them compared to the marks on their bodies.

But his legs shake from the weight he’s kept applied to them throughout it, and he shifts in the bedding to roll onto his side and pull her close against him, chest rising and falling with the slowly succeeding attempts at getting his breath under control. A hand raises to brush the hair from her face, from her eyes, offering a gentle and soft smile her way as the waters of his soul calm from storm to rippling pools.

He buries his face into her neck again, unable to say anything, unable to find it in him to want to do anything than hold her close the rest of the night.

don't hesitate to bring me to my knees
