and i gave my heart

Maverick had found and embraced his purpose in life, his purpose in her own life. He completed her. He brought, surprisingly, a peace that she hadn’t ever felt before. As long as Mav was beside her all was well within the world. As was made obvious right now as they lay together. Venom was happy, and she could see plain as day that Maverick was happy as well. He’d enjoyed the other side of the coin, and now he’d found his paradise as he created one for her.

Mav teased her back about their first meeting, somehow opening up to him with that rope swing had really opened the door to what they had now. However much she would have denied it at the time. Then he’d rescued her from that fall, and one thing had led to another. Not that she would have ever admitted to taking advantage of him in any way. He still made her chuckle at the thought.

He wrapped her up in his arms and she held onto him as he held her. Venom closed her eyes and breathed him in, appreciative of these moments alone and together. He had saved her in more ways than one. "You already know the answer to that.” She returned softly as she blinked her eyes open to look up into his handsome features as a sweet smile spread over her features.
