Under the Darkness

Cool hands brushed over overly warm skin, memorizing each and every facet of the sleeping form beside him. It had become a bit of a nightly habit of his, Alec realized, but only because he wanted to commit each and every detail of his love to memory.

It wasn't so much because he was afraid of ever losing the shifter, but more because he was just afraid that... one day he might forget something – his memory wasn't perfect, and things would fade with time. So those soft whispers, those light touches and caresses, he memorized each of them; committing each to memory as best he could.

There were just some things that he didn't want to forget, and Embry was one of them.

FIN.
