Slumber
A/N: Offering for the richonnefics March Rainy Day Prompt Table on Tumblr. What I imagined happened after Richonne made love for the first time *sighs*
The soft glow from the moonlight washed over Michonne's nakedness as she lay next to a sleeping Rick with her limbs tangled in his; warm and firm and safe. His steady, even breaths assuring her that he was deep in slumber after a long day, and an even longer night of lovemaking. Her arm was draped protectively across his chest and his heart beat strongly under her palm. Michonne smiled to herself in the dark as she realized just how happy she truly was with Rick. Her best friend who gradually became more. Her partner, her lover; finally hers.
She bit her bottom lip when she recalled their passionate evening spent exploring each others bodies for the very first time; hungry mouths and keen fingers. She smiled once more when she thought of how they both felt no reservations while they undressed one another; how Rick's eyes roamed over her form. His gaze, at once eager and thankful and so full of reverence that her heart swelled and her head felt dizzy.
She shifted slightly, finding a small discomfort in her lower region from Rick's fervent attentions earlier. Michonne shivered a little as she remembered Rick's hands all over her body; how it seemed not an inch of her heated skin escaped his urgent touch. How his calloused hands contrasted against the soft, moist warmth between her lovely thighs; how his manhood followed soon thereafter.
Michonne moved her hand from Rick's chest to press to her face that had grown flustered suddenly. Immediately, Rick began to stir beside her as he reached out into the dark for her; his own hand coming to rest possessively on her backside, though he remained asleep. His touch still able to cause little sparks of electricity to dance over Michonne's skin.
She felt the desire to kiss his mouth once more, but reasoned she would not rouse him from his much needed and well-earned slumber. Instead, Michonne let another smile play on her features, closed her eyes, breathed in Rick's scent, and waited for the dawn to come.
