The grin she wore for him was easy, as carefree as when she was a tiny girl. Being right here with him removed all the layers of weight on her shoulders. A rare freedom to express exactly how she felt. Being direct was a habit she held to, it created an open and honest understanding of the sparks between them that were finally let loose now. There was a sudden clarity in the jolt she felt as her quill snagged his flesh. She offered a look of apology as she pressed his tiny wound to her lips as he spoke in his native tongue. Venom understood much better than she could speak and grinned up at him as he returned her vow.

Then his kiss was all she knew as he pulled her close again. A potent mixture of love and alcohol lulled her into a state of bliss as the magic moonlight filled the cavern. Her heart swelled as she caught her breath in her throat and let Hattori wash over her. He filled her senses as he promised to be hers, a life long contract. She grinned into his kiss and fully relinquished any lingering willpower to hold herself back. Spring or whatever time frame might be involved, was too long to wait. Though this path had never been her original intention she walked it with him, unwilling to hesitate and eager to show her full affections.

The night was theirs to be alone together, and warm in their timeless sphere.
