not maybe, definitely

Nothing existed around her but Maverick, there were no memories and no plans, no past no future. Only right now as Venom lost herself with the man who held her tight. They both lost their breath together, they cascaded downwards, and lost themselves in one another. He never let her go, as her voice murmured his name he whispered her own back to her. She felt like for a tiny moment that he was never going to let her go. He made her smile, in an airy euphoric way, but also because they were sharing similar feelings. All she wanted right now was him. There were no responsibilities, no pain, nothing but this blissful moment and it was all for Maverick.

She gasped for breath, pressed against him as tight as she could. Both of them panting and struggling to regain a hint of composure. Before Venom could Maverick shifted both of their forms on the bed, rolling her over to sprawl over his chest and stomach. He settled quietly beneath her as she clung to him, smiling into his fur as her skin tingled and her heart fluttered. He rubbed her back gently, avoiding her quills almost instinctively, getting an intimate look at her attributes. For a long time he let her lay like that, recovering as he held and touched her gently.

She began to catch her breath when his cheek brushed against her head, he held her a little tighter as he spoke up quietly. He teased her warmly noting how much he thought she needed everything they just shared. She curled into him a little tighter in answer as he went on to ask after her well being. There was plenty of potential to have worsened any of her injuries but she shook her head. She would be sore no matter what, there wasn’t much extra burden. She was glad he already expected her to be limping home.

"No,” Venom assured him with a breathless word. "Anything but.” The Empress lifted her head from his chest, finally returning her gaze to his, their noses nearly touching. Her smile was easy and carefree, a rare gift to be given. "It’s hard to believe we’re strangers after all of that.” She didn’t want to inflate his ego too heavily, but the way he touched her like he’d done it a thousand times before was unbelievable. There was much brewing uncertainty in the future but he was right, she had needed him to take her away.
