[ she slows gradually as he finishes, holding him with one arm, petting his hair with the other, kissing a gentle line across his cheek. ]

[he's panting raggedly as he comes down, completely boneless, vaguely tilting his head in the direction of shrike's kisses]

Nnh...

Good...?

[ she moves to start untying his arms. ]

[he's so lost in how everything feels, he can barely reply past an affirmative "mmhmmm", limbs totally pliant. he lets out a low moan when he feels the pressure slowly release from the rope being loosened]

[ she undoes the last knot, pressing a kiss to the inside of both wrists, and then pulls back to ease out of him, so she can turn him back around toward her to tug the blindfold off. ]

[when the blindfold is tugged off he blinks rapidly to adjust to the light, eyes hazy and pupils blown. his whole expression looks raw, vulnerable, dazed... it takes him a second to meet shrike's eyes, and then he's leaning on her]

[ she cups his face in her hands, and lets him lean against her, propping him up with her legs. ]

Hey.

[it's a good thing she's here because otherwise raven would just collapse into the water and drown, he's so floppy]

... hello.

Maaaaaaybe we should dry off, now, so you can lie down...

Okay.

[nuzzling at her shoulder, floaty and pliant]

[ ...she just scoops him up in her arms, to climb out. ]

I don't... usually take that kind of approach, but I wonder if I should more often.

You definitely should.

[too blissed out right now to make a fuss about being carried, he's just enjoying it. kisses the side of her neck]

[ cccccc:

she... does set him down on the edge of the bed to sit, though, and then goes to fetch towels. ]

With the right person... it's very gratifying.

[he's able to sit up using his own strength. except this is a water bed so by the time she comes back he's just... half laying back, with his legs in the air '-']

[ very gently tucks a towel over him like a blanket while she dries herself off. ]

[he takes it and dries himself off, then lays down on the bed. gently floating...]

Come join me.

[ she hangs the towel up to dry, too, and then takes a perch on the edge of the bed...

...and then flops down onto it entirely, rolling to curl up next to him. ]

There.

[curls close, tucking himself along her side, one hand gently running down her arm]

I don't think I need to tell you, but... that was... incredible.

I'm really glad...

I just really wanted to do something nice for you. After all this.

I don't take it for granted. I promise.

[trails his fingers along her side and her hip, then back up, moving along her stomach]

You're so good to me...

[ she makes a quiet, contented sound, leaning into his touch. ]

Well, I enjoy it...

[kisses the side of her neck softly, voice soft]

Lay back. Let me touch you.

[ she was already a little flushed, but... a little more color blooms in her cheeks. she relaxes back onto the bed, though, laying a hand gently against his cheek. ]

Ah...

[kisses the inside of her palm and smiles at her, his hand stroking her belly before moving up to cup her breast and roll his thumb over her nipple]

Oh, that's—

[ she tilts her head back, arching a little toward him. ]
