Aurelia
as if you were on fire
from within
from within
Her gaze softens at the way he looks up at her through tired contentment and she nibbles at her lip a little more when he mumbles his mmhmm. She finds herself echoing it quietly into his lips when he tells her he's exhausted, "Mhmm," she knows, she can see it, and now that their hearts have stopped racing and they can lay here in the warmth of it all, she's happy to oblige him.
Even if her own mind is roused and she feels more energized than tired, she's more than willing to spend that energy coaxing him into a peaceful rest. So she digs into the kiss while it lasts, her own lips soft and cushiony to his, to let him draw comforts and love from her as much as he likes.
She smirks into his skin, pecking a kiss to his neck before she tucks up her chin and states, matter-of-fact, "I know." She laughs softly. She puts her hand more fully around his neck to pull him into her embrace as she settles back into the pillows with a long sigh.
"You can sleep if you want to," she offers, stroking her fingers through his hair and gently over his scalp, "I don't think I can, but.. I'll stay right here," and she nestles further into his snug grip, though there's a pointed pause, "or... maybe I'll cook us dinner," she tilts her head back to try and look at him, feeling so fulfilled that it honestly wouldn't matter how they spend the rest of the day as long as it's together, as long as she can make up her earlier mistakes to him somehow. "Up to you."
