Even as Faer slid their steadily softening erection out of her, Anne Claire could still feel their telepathic connection, still feel the both of them gently easing one another out of their highs and grounding them once more. Even as they simply continued to lie there, relishing in the quiet, neither of them had even dared to share a conscious thought for fear of shattering the comfortable silence that had taken over the space. Their touches and light caresses were soft, and even the hushed shhh of their fingers splaying across one another's skin only seemed to amplify the companionable quiet between the two of them.
After what felt like an eternity, Anne Claire felt Faer ease out of their telepathic link, and though she still felt vaguely empty when they were completely out of her, she found that she couldn't wallow in her melancholy when she pressed herself against Faer's cool side. She felt them drape an arm around she shoulders and pull herself impossibly closer, and relished in the way that she could feel their heartbeats syncing in time with one another.
At some point during their lovemaking, the rain had started to lazily pelt against the windows of her house. She slightly frowned, vaguely trying to recall whether or not this was connected to her home back on Earth, or if this was her first rainfall on Faer's home planet. Either way, she let its tempo further lull her into a comfortable rest. She was far too awake, far to alert to fall asleep, but she simply closed her eyes and just...felt.
She felt Faer at her slid, letting their breathing slow, she felt the softness of her sheets against her naked form, and she felt the air, comfortably cool, settling against her skin. And in that moment, her worry began to niggle in the back of her mind. Did they do this too soon after they administered the cure to Faer? Was there going to be some horrific backlash for it? Guilt ate at her; as a doctor, it was her job to put the health of her patient before all else, and what did she do? Jumped their bones before it had even been an hour since they were cured.
Worst intergalactic doctor ever.
Though their breathing was no longer ragged and they were still too tired to speak, Faer seemed to sense the change in their partner. Rolling onto their side to fully face her, they pressed a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth, a soft, lazy smile gracing their face. Their eyes, now a liquid amber, were so soft and filled with so much adoration that she felt herself melting against him.
“You worry far too much, Anne Claire.” Was all they said before the room lapsed into silence once more. When she recoiled out of shyness, they reached out to pull her closer to them, and she felt them nuzzle her hair as they held her tenderly against their chest once more, and the beat of their heart filled her ears again, loud and comforting. She shifted just enough to look up at them. Everything was silent except for their gentle breathing and the soft rain outside for just a little while longer. Neither of them made any move to untangle themselves from each other. She felt her heart swelling with unsaid emotions, an admission that she had still kept to herself, locked away in her heart, and before she could stop herself, she felt the words spilling from her lips.
“I love you,” she whispered softly against their chilled skin. She felt their soft chuckle before she heard it, their chest bouncing with each soft chortle.
“Not as much as I do, Anne Claire.” Their tone was so earnest, and when she looked up at them, their now azure eyes so serious that she hadn't even realized when her had drifted towards theirs until they closed the scant distance, pressing their lips to hers once more. It was a soft but deep kiss, and once they pulled away, Faer nuzzled her hair again and drew her in even closer. “Now let us both rest up a bit, and I will show you the stars of my galaxy.”
“Really?” She asked around a yawn.
“Of course,” they promised as they wrapped one of her blankets around them. “I do, after all, have an observatory to show off to you.” They shared a chuckle before settling back down into the covers. And as Anne Claire drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but feel as though she had finally, finally found happiness.
