and I loved you so much it was making me sick
It feels like a beginning, this kiss. Like a trip and a stumble into something that she can’t see the bottom of, but she finds that she doesn’t really mind. Vai has always been that way - a woman of the wilds, able to bend and flow with the wind - and whatever has caused her to blow into Zeph’s lap? Well, she can only be grateful for it. Humming against his lips, against the warmth of coffee and the sweet tang of whiskey, her fingers twine through the back of his hair, holding him close even as they part.
His thumb ghosts across her chin and she turns her head to nip playfully at his hand, a crooked smile of her own curling across her face. ”It was more than a good start,” she assures him, taking a second to appreciate him in the sober light of day. Out of the woods, off the beach, away from the bonfires; in the warm domesticity of a kitchen, wearing nothing but a towel and smiling up at her like that? Yeah, Vai is smitten.
”Everything I need is right here,” she murmurs, winking mischievously. ”But if you wouldn’t mind, I would like a grand tour of the place. One that culminates in your bed, given that we just spent a night on the docks in the rain.” Would they be sleeping? Fucking? Both? Time will tell.
