I'm not stalking you or anything

The more sober part of her would never have indulged or suggested the path that their night was following now. Lying here in secret with him would be a massive scandal were someone to walk up on them now. Finding them in such a compromising position, not even taking into account where the night would go. Though Venom was being more coy about her expectations Maverick let the result of his nonchalant attitude rolled off his shrugged shoulders as they continued in hushed voices. She couldn’t have imagined being here with him like this, though even as he spoke about how frequently she was on his mind Venom felt the inverse was true. How much time was spent reminiscing the night he had saved her?

Mav lifted a brow at her comment, and corrected her. He hadn’t stopped thinking about her, and Venom tried to hide how the comment took her breath away. There was a part of her that yearned for him not to let her go, and his presence here was proof he had no intention of that. Those thoughts were quickly erased as the conversation went on and Venom drank the rest of her beverage in answer to his query. The look on his face when she gave his answer was priceless, and the honesty she shared with him was worth this moment. He hadn’t expected her to be quite so willing

She would have shown resistance if that was what he wanted from her though. Venom’s word was absolute, having that power taken away from her was enticing in ways her inebriated self couldn’t describe. As she quieted and brought her sunset gaze to Maverick’s teal eyes she didn’t miss the fiery spark lingering there. The speed of her pulse as he looked at her with a hunger mirrored in her core. Maverick didn’t hesitate to act, his massive frame shifted slightly so he could grab hold of her smaller form.

His mismatched paws brought her closer while his lips claimed the last bits of her attention. She moved on instinct as passion blinded her, and he pressed her back into the soft grass beneath the wisteria. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck as she returned the affection in his kiss, there was more to it than that though. Deep seeded need and desire pooled in her belly, and she knew he had to feel the same as he touched and held her, shifting so he overwhelmed her. Venom purred in delight as he moved slowly and deliberately, teasing her with his drawn out pace, but the Empress reveled in every moment. This wasn’t where she thought her night would go, but there wasn’t anywhere else she wanted to be but wrapped up in his arms under the moonlight.
