Making love to her was something that seemed taboo for him, but he was too lost in her to stop, too emotionally attached to not crave the intimate contact she gave him.
She was an angel, but with a fiery personality that called out to him.
He used to think that he was a man damned and cursed to wander the land until his body gave out from pure exhaustion. He had an impossible promise to keep, a vow he made even though he had not believed in it when he made it. They had been desperate words to appease a dying soul belonging to the last person that had held any worth to him, and had seen worth in him as well.
But now, Sora Naegino proved to him that the promise was not as hopeless as he originally thought.
Relief had loosened tense muscles of three years, but not completely relaxed them. He would still have to see if she was up to doing the full maneuver and if she would accept him as a partner.
Right now, he poured out his affection and longings into his kiss; he cradled her body with tenderness as she writhed against him, the pleasure of their joining bringing her beyond the stars and eventually back again. Her rapture was intoxicating, her moans and the brushes of her soft body against his harder one a sensation he sorely missed for a long time.
He broke away from her mouth as his face buried against her neck.
"Sora," he moaned, the heaven blessed name an ambrosia he could not tire of.
Soon, he noted the loosening of her arms and legs as her body relaxed from the extreme arch her back was in as she returned from the cosmos. She breathed hard and he joined her in the panting.
They stayed against each other as they breathed.
Long after he caught his breath, after she placed a kiss on his cheek and settled against the pillow for some rest, he stayed. He did not want to leave; he was aware that it was selfish, but he allowed himself the flaw.
In her sleep, she nestled her head under his chin.
His eyes closed, pleased with the familiar gesture.

It was a little after dawn when Sora awoke.
She felt the warm body next to her, as well as the arm around her waist. Gingerly, she lifted the arm and wiggled out from under his embrace. The bed squeaked a little as she got off, grabbing the robe on the chair near her bed and made her way to the bathroom.
Upon washing her hands, she caught the dreary sight she made in the mirror. She splashed water on her face and rubbed her face clean. The hand towel lowered, revealing the slight red on her cheeks.
He had seen my face like that.
It mortified her. But when she walked out of the bathroom and caught the sight of him lying on the bed with his silver hair against the mattress and pillow, her embarrassment ebbed as her heart clenched at the sight of him.
His face was peaceful; she was glad to see it.

Dressed and showered, Leon shrugged his coat on after breakfast.
Sora had ordered some room service for him while he had been in the bathroom. She would have eaten with him but Yuri had called and asked to meet up with her for something important.
"He sounded pretty serious," she had noted aloud.
Leon was a bit annoyed with the blonde interrupting their time together, but it wasn't like he could have stayed much longer. His flight back to Cape Mary was for the early afternoon. He needed to check out and leave time for the taxi to take him to the airport. He had made the earliest flight since he had no wish to stay in France after the festival. Though, he might have made a later flight time had he and Sora been on speaking terms during the time he booked his flight.
It is done and booked. He inwardly sighed at his luck.
His only consolation was that he would see her once she got back to Cape Mary.
