Strange Afterglow
Things you said after it was over
He falls over the edge – his body going rigid, his mind going blissfully blank, pleasure erupting in every cell of his body. After that, he barely has the presence of mind not to collapse on top of her, but somehow he manages, falling on the mattress right next to her, having a hard time catching his breath.
And then Skye starts giggling.
Actually giggling, with her hand on her mouth, her eyes crinkling.
"What?" he asks, suddenly brought back to Earth from the heavens, pushing himself up to his elbows.
"Nothing, it's just…" the rest of her sentence is drowned by her giggles.
He frowns. Okay, this cannot be a good sign. Also, it does not sit well with his confidence – let alone his ego. He has always prided himself of being a good lover – at least every previous encounter of his seemed to confirm this allegation. And now to think that he just gave a subpar performance – that had her giggling – to the only person who really mattered, doesn't sit him well at all.
"Did you not… like it?" he inquires almost shyly.
Skye stops in an instant. Her giggles die, she lowers her hand from her mouth, and, her eyes going wide, she looks at him.
"You think that I…?" Her sentence unfinished, she closes her eyes for a second – and the next she was kissing him.
"I loved it," she says once she pulled away from his mouth. "You were amazing," she continues, punctuating every word with a kiss pressed against different parts of his face. "So, so amazing. The best I have ever had. And right now I am so happy that I giggle. Because you make me so happy, you big dork."
It actually has him smiling with that wide, goofy grin she always brings out of him. He takes her face in his hands to steady her, then kisses her deeply, with all the passion he can muster.
"If you loved it that much," he says when he runs out of breath and has to break the kiss, "do you care for an encore?"
The answer is there in the mischievous glint of her eyes as she straddles him the next moment.
