happy ever after started with you

Somehow Maverick had molded himself to her life like he had been made to be at her side. There was no such thing as a perfect relationship, but she hadn’t felt anything but rainbows and butterflies when it came to her ruffian. As much as she enjoyed his place in her life, what she loved the most was how much the inverse was true. Part of her still wondered how he’d come to love her so when their first meeting she had been anything but pleasant. Having just been left by Hattori, and feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders… Then he had both infuriated her and made her laugh. Maybe they were meant to be here together now. Seeing the fruits of their relationship only solidified that fact. Never would she have guessed a man like that would be the future father of her children.

Laying here with him now was a treat, relaxing in the lush furs and warmth of their cozy bedroom. Her attention easily lingered on the affections that she was giving the soft fur against his neck. While she kissed him teasingly his own mismatched paws roamed the curves of her body, the corners of her lips pulling back into a grin that mirrored his own. He rumbled in absent response, but Venom had already forgotten the unimportant conversation. The feeling of his toes through her fur and the way he traced the quills that weren’t hidden from him anymore. "Mmm…” Was all she could muster as her attention continued to meander up his jaw to his chin.

Maverick teased her as she sought his lips, and she couldn’t help but return the good natured grief. "Are you saying you’re not?” Venom couldn’t mutter much more as he shifted, their eyes meeting briefly before he took the kiss that she had been hinting at. Claiming her lips and mouth in passion that hadn’t been possible since the pups were born. She’d missed being like this with him. The press of his body against her, the closeness of her partner and other half. Her murmurs echoed his own deep hums as she relaxed in his grasp. One of the few places where she felt entirely safe was in his arms. Venom trusted Maverick completely, and that was why he was both father of her children, and future husband. Her mate.

Any semblance of conversation seemed to disappear as they fell into each other, and Venom was swept off her feet by Maverick’s unhindered touch. A soft little gasp interrupted their kiss as he eagerly grabbed her rump and pulled her closer. The breathy sound was followed by charmed little giggles. "I don’t think we’re close enough yet.” She whispered to him as she looked up from beneath dark lashes as she renewed her grasp around his neck.
