Some part of him had wondered if this would all evaporate when they finished. Her clear displeasure at his leaving pulls a smile from him, which only widens when her face lights up at his return. It fleetingly occurs to him she may have thought he was leaving — he of course was not, so it hadn’t crossed his mind, but he tucks that information away.
And when she pushes him back, he laughs with delight, complying readily. “So you just like ordering me around, is it?” His grin is just as wide, and he loops his arms loosely around her as she settles herself over him, stroking her beautiful skin and adjusting his position to look right back at her.
Maybe he should be concerned about how stupidly happy he is just to have her like this and grin like an idiot at her, but whether it’s wise self preservation or just giddy single mindedness, he’s not. This is the best he’s felt since arriving in this damned place. Maybe longer, which really is too big of a thought to acknowledge. So instead he slides a hand down to cup her ass, tilting his head to kiss her face. “So are you, Aerith, and it’s intoxicating.”
Exhaustion is hanging just beneath the euphoria, but the thought of spending the night with her in this nest of warmth is so calming that he’s not fighting it.
