The precipice loomed before them, but it was only tangible in the rush of hot blood through her veins, and when they fell, they fell together.
Hot waves of pleasure continue to rock through her molten muscles, euphoric and so sharp as to be on the very of pain. But slowly, they eased, and the heavens cleared from her glazed vision such that Alaine could once again see the man she held tightly in her arms. He was Gabriel, the one who had saved her, and she thought she might have loved him, once.
The waves ebbed through her, pulsing like drugs through her heady frame; breath mingled in silvery clouds, heavy as lungs filled with cold air. She blinked, and moved to settle more heavily against the earth - The small movement loosened muscles deliciously, and a soft moan trailed off into a sigh that was swallowed by the nighttime silence.
She felt relaxed, but beyond them the shadows were already gathering, and the time she spent protected within his muscled arms was slipping away through her fingers. His job had been completed - Her body had taken what it needed from him, and even now was stirring magic, bringing to life things long thought dead and forgotten.
Cool palms slipped down from his back, nails having since released their sharp grip on the impressive muscles there. Slowly, delicate fingers trailed through the dark mottled fur, easing up his neck to rest as they would, meshed in the raven hue of his wild mane. "Gabriel..." Came soft, breathy voice; time and the dream of perfection were slipping away, fighting for mindspace with the cold protrusion of reality. Not yet - She didn't want to remember, not yet...
There were no words need be shared. Each knew the union to be real only for this passing moment; the sun and the moon could not linger together, not for long. She could not be his, not in the world in which they lived. Sweet body cradled him close, but their time together was almost at an end.
