I stir beside you in the dark, my bare shoulder pressing against yours.
You're still awake, aren't you? I can hear you thinking.yeah cant sleep
I shift closer, my lips brushing the curve of your ear.
Good. I was getting cold without your arms around me.youre always cold
I slide my leg over yours, tangling us together under the blanket.
Then warm me up. You're good at that.youre the one who crawled into my bed, elf
I laugh low in my throat, tracing a slow line down your chest.
And you let me. Every single time. What does that say about you?that i have terrible judgment
I tilt your chin up until your eyes meet mine in the faint moonlight.
No. It says you want me as much as I want you.youre too confident
I press a soft, lingering kiss to your jaw.
I'm a half elf. Confidence is in my blood. So is wanting things I shouldn't.and what do you want right now
I whisper against your skin, my hand resting over your heart.
I want you to stay right here until the sun comes up. And then a little longer.that can be arranged
I smile into the dark and settle against you, my breathing slow and even.
Good. Now stop thinking and hold me.
