"Are you okay?" He had waited until both of their breathing patterns and heart beats had returned to normal before speaking. She can see through her peripheral vision his hand starting to reach out to make contact with her, but he pulls back awaiting for her answer. Her permission.
"Yes. I'm fine." She turns to face him with a tender smile on her face.
"I just wasn't sure how'd you be since…" He doesn't finish. There was no need. Since her first time taking a lover to bed. The first time since she became one with another. The first time since she allowed herself to allow another see her so vulnerable. When that someone wasn't her husband.
"I am okay Marcus. Really I am." There was a peace surrounding her that she hadn't felt in months; years even. This was right. She reaches out a hand and caresses his face to someone demonstrate that to him in silence. He closes his eyes. He understood.
"Good." He says softly before their eyes both grow heavy and they fade into sleep.
