Coming back around again

Even the way he whispered her name took her breath away as he pulled her into him once again after she gave him her reassurances that this was what she truly wanted. "Mercury Ermis," she whispered in return before her voice was caught up in breathless gasps at the sparks that danced across her skin from the affections he left there. In his paws everything else like it was as it should be, as if nothing was ever taken away. When he told her that she tasted like home, she wasn't sure she could have summed up this feeling any other way. "You are home," she replied softly against his lips before she was caught up in their passionate kisses once more. She followed his lead and was not led astray. Mercury brought her to pleasures she didn't know were possible and only proved to her that this was exactly where she was meant to be. He completed her in ways she hadn’t known she needed.

As sunlight filtered in through the entrance of the small cave, Anthea slowly woke up, blinking open her eyes with a quiet grumble. It took a moment before she realized the fur under her cheek wasn't the fur of her bedding and the steady sound of a heart beat in her ear reminded her that she hadn’t gone to bed alone. She shifted to lift her head slightly from Mercury’s chest, her gaze landing on his handsome features that were still smooth and peaceful with sleep. A grin crossed her muzzle as she thought about the night that had led to this moment and was never so happy that what she thought was a dream was actually real.

Pulling herself up a bit, she tipped her head up to gently nuzzle into his cheek and neck, slipping her paws around him as she slowly pulled him from sleep with her affections. “Good morning,” she said quietly once he finally opened his eyes, chuckling softly as she gave him a grin. First her hero, then her friend, and now her lover. She was beginning to wonder if there was anything he couldn’t do.
