Make the most of our time

As Briar basked and reveled in the afterglow he'd given her, Artorias was content to hold her as her body went limp and relaxed back into him, her head resting on his shoulder with a huge, goofy grin on her face. He snickered as he savored these reactions and expressions on her face, loving bringing his beloved Briar such amazing pleasure. He listened to her murr and hum with delight while he held her and teased her, but she turned the tables on him when he felt her muzzle shift to press a kiss on his exposed throat. He gasped and murred beneath his breath, his grin widening when Briar confirmed he had done a very, very good job on her, her words slurred with her intoxication. "Mmm good," he purred in his husky vocals, placing another slow kiss in between Briar's ears.

When Briar began to squirm and pull away from him, Artorias considered fighting to keep her in his arms, but relented and let her go. He followed her with curious eyes as she climbed out of the hot spring and flopping down on the blanket of furs he'd set up for their picnic, stumbling less than gracefully across the furs with a very girly, very drunk giggle. Snickering to himself, Artorias climbed out of the hot spring with a splash, warm water cascading from the fur that clung to his body as he stepped with a little tipsy wobble to join her on their blanket. Artorias couldn't stop staring at Briar with a profound love while he collapsed down beside her, enjoying just watching her have the time of her life being wine drunk and floating in ecstasy. If it were up to him, she would spend the rest of her days with him feeling as good as she did now.

Artorias laughed softly to Briar's comment of having to do this more often, picking up the half empty bottle of wine they'd set aside and taking another healthy swig to try and catch up to her. "Then let's," he remarked with a sly grin. "Once you move to the Hallows and can stay with me forever, we can drink wine every day and go swimming in the lakes or take walks on the beach or relax in the castle gardens. We can do whatever we want since we'll be in charge!" Shifting his body to press his side into Briar's, Artorias lifted a paw to drape it across Briar's belly and sides, tugging the upside down fae closer to him while stroking along the curves of her side. "We can also keep doing this now if you want." His grin and smoldering eyes betrayed the lustful thoughts dancing inside his imagination while he brought his lips down to claim hers in a slow, savoring kiss, only pulling apart to whisper against them. "Today doesn't stop until you tell me." This was their day to savor and enjoy one another to the fullest before Artorias went home. Briar made the call when this day came to an end—or until they passed out drunk and fucked silly in one another's arms.
