Long after the interlude began, Christian lay on his back, feeling Satine's delicate body against his. Her long, slender legs wrapped around his waist, holding him inside her. Her arms pressed against his chest, and her head lay in the nook of his arm. A few stray ringlets of blazing red hair fell from the rest and clashed with his light skin. He moved gently to lightly brush them away, his fingers trembling.

He shook them lightly in the air, but it didn't help much. One look down at her, and he was instantly smitten all over again. He still couldn't believe his first lover was an amazing and beautiful woman, the kind he mostly just stared at. He shifted slightly to his side, the motions pulling her awake.

Satine sat up slowly, pushing her hair out of her face. Her head was filled with water and her stomach with butterflies. Nothing was at all normal. She saw Christian and grinned, knowing he was the reason why. She slid under the curtain they had made a sheet and looked over to him, her eyes sparkling.

"Hi there." She said quietly, her eyes opening and closing sleepily.

"Hello." He answered, his voice hoarse from the evening's exertions.

She just smiled, his actions obviously results from earlier that night. She ran her fingers through his thick hair, picking up some strands that fell back and to the side.

He slowly slid her on top of him again, his sweaty body making it hard to sustain balance. At his clumsiness, she fell to the other side of him and chuckled lightly, making him blush.

"Sorry. I haven't had much experience in the 'What to do After' scene." He said while grinning widely.

"No matter. You're doing just fine Christian." Satine slid back on top of him, using her legs to hang on as he slowly moved for her bed. He'd definitely had enough of the floor, some pillows and a makeshift sheet.

He laid her on her back, climbing on all fours to kiss her softly, but tenderly as they lay down. She kissed his forehead as he slid down her body, kissing her neck, breasts, and stomach.

"Christian..." she moaned, her back lifting with the sensations of his soft lips on her bare skin. He had used the same tactics before, driving her wild with soft caresses and kisses.

He looked back up at her eagerly, wanting to please her. "Yes?" his voice was tentative as he slowly moved himself above her once more.

"I want to feel you inside me again..." Her voice was low and provocative, her eyes teasing him further.

He needed no prompting and rolled over, bringing her on top of him. For a moment, his eyes met hers, silently questioning them for what she wanted. He then brought her down slowly and fully, making Satine throw her head back on the pillows and groan deeply from the back of her throat.

For a moment she didn't move, letting herself get used to the feel of him, then arched her hips to meet him. The feeling overtook her and she was soon hanging on as they quickly moved together.

Christian's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he felt himself nearing the end. His body pounded against hers, making her squeal and moan in pleasure. He'd never once imagined what it would feel like to be with a woman and was glad he was experiencing it. Her muscles tensed around him as they both found release and he loudly groaned as he collapsed, exhausted, sweaty, and spent.

She looked over to him slowly, her eyes searching his face. He looked content enough as he held her to him tightly. She smiled weakly, using all the energy she had left and kissed him softly.

Ten minutes later, he lay on her chest as she slept peacefully above him. He repeatedly kissed her chest, her skin milky smooth against his lips. After a while, he couldn't stand it any longer and fell asleep, leaving the two lovers to wait for daylight.
