[ that laugh is not joy, and something in her voice changes. For a moment, his grip slackens and he nearly pulls away. What line had he crossed, what cue had he missed…? ]

[ Then her words catch up with him, the attempt to make herself sound happy or at least carefree. His chest aches, because he remembers feeling that, when he was much younger. He knows there’s a chance he is going to make this worse for her, but if this is where she’s at, she is the only one who will be able to get herself from drowning to the surface. At least he can be a safe place to catch her breath.
And if that is the case, expecting her to take the lead is cruel. So, with her body still trembling with something more than an orgasm, he gets an arm up under her legs, twisting her so she’s cradled in his lap. ]
You’re safe, my lady. It’s alright. I’m not planning on leaving until you dismiss me, and if you wish my company again, it’s yours.
[ He tucks her into his hold, resting his head against her, acting like a shield to anything but this moment. Something in him aches, happy to sit like this indefinitely. She’s so soft and firm and warm, and to be touched with such kindness — he will cherish it long after they part. ]
