-What are ya thinking?

His white fangs engraved the dark; his hand came to rest upon my chest. I felt my heart palpitating faster. I half-closed the eyelids from happiness.

It was so easy for me to say it now, after the bitter-sweet mystery that we had shared. I looked at him bathe in the sereneness that follows the carnal pleasure, and my gaze spoke before my words.

-How much I love you! I whispered and I was filled with tears.

I was so happy that my heart was about to burst. I've never believed that I could feel these feelings, such passion, so much love. I made a silent prayer for this joy to last forever.

Strong arms embraced me; warm lips sealed my mouth and stole my breath. Then, a flame-haired head listened to my heart and a sinewy leg became entangled to mine.

-I don't want the present to ever, ever end! his voice shuddered from the passion.

I stroked his silken fire tufts.

-Shhh! I reassured him. Shhh, Tasuki no da! We've found our constellations. It can never end.
