happy ever after started with you

The stillness and peace of the evening was not lost nor spoiled upon Maverick, who savored every second that slipped between him and his perfect lover while they lay in bed entwined in one another's arms. The man was never upset to be woken by his fiancée; the time he spent with her far outweighed even the greatest of dreams he might have returned to. Who would want to waste time in dreams when his reality had become the sweetest dream imaginable? A beautiful, sultry, powerful woman he was lucky to call his own, four strong and healthy pups born from their love, a real home and stability that had been nothing but a pipe dream not too long ago... Whatever Maverick had done to win such a jackpot in life's lottery, he was glad he did it! Nothing could get the smitten brute to give up any of this, so spoiled was he by love.

As he lay basking in the warmth and love of cuddling with his Empress, snuggled up in the luxuriously plush furs of their expansive bedding, Mav drank in the perfection of this moment between them. Like her, he loved their children with all his heart and soul, but after several weeks of wrangling those rambunctious little fuzzballs and then introducing them safely to their world outside, there was a simple delight in the quiet the two wolves found themselves enveloped in. Venom, also seeming to appreciate and understand how special this quiet moment between them was, chuckled and then showed just where her mind was as soft lips pressed an affectionate kiss to his tender throat, pulling a rumbling murr of delight from the dire brute. A pleased little shiver rippled its way down his back as Venom worked her kisses up the curve of his throat to tease the edge of his jaw with that forked tongue of hers that had done wonderful things to him before. A sly grin slowly crept its way over Maverick's muzzle, his forelegs squeezing a little tighter and more possessively around Venom's slender sides. A passionate, lustful creature, it took very little effort on Venom's part to get him in the mood, and given the past few weeks of forced celibacy they'd had from the tail end of Venom's pregnancy to the birth and raising of their children, it was even easier for the white-gloved monarch to get a rise out of her man in their alone time.

"Hmmm, strange indeed..." came the rumbled reply from Mav, his deep voice a touch more husky from having just been roused from sleep. Dark teal eyes began to peek out from behind heavy lids, glancing down just enough to see the beautiful face of his Venom without inhibiting her ability to kiss or tease whatever parts of his neck and jaw she wished. Giant two-toned paws continued their slow circuit over familiar planes and curves, some emphasized in very pleasing ways in the aftermath of her pregnancy, leisurely making their way up Venom's slim sides until one had moved over her shoulders to trail his digits through her scruff, deftly avoiding her hidden quills with practiced knowledge. He knew how sensitive those quills could be with the right touch and he began to demonstrate his intimate knowledge of the Empress' body as velvet paw pads found a couple quills amongst her plush winter coat, gently stroking each one in turn from base to tip and back again before moving to another. Venom moved in equally slow motions, her lips making their way up the length of his jaw and over his scruffy chin until he felt her warm breath against his lips.

Grinning to himself, Maverick would not keep his beloved from what she sought. "Seems like someone's a little needy..." Mav teased her in suggestive tones. The sky brute then tipped his muzzle down just enough to let his shadow and snow fae claim his mouth with her own, kissing her with a slow, simmering passion that had been pent up for much too long. Soft hums of delight resonated deep in his chest, and once more heavy lids slid over his eyes to blot out his sight, giving up the sense so he could share in her world and get lost in Venom. The paw on the small of her back slipped lower, massaging around the base of Venom's tail and over the top of her shapely rump, holding her body pulled taut to his while he poured forth all the love, lust, and passion he held for this perfect woman through their kiss. With a little bit of insistent pressure, Maverick's lips pushed to Venom's, deepening their kiss by parting his lips to tease hers with flicks of his tongue, seeking entrance to her maw in search of her taste. They finally had some alone time together and Maverick was going to thoroughly enjoy every second he could get with Venom.
