Asher's Room

Nathaniel had returned at dawn to find Asher in bed, his hand extended to his empty side of the bed. He'd stood there, smiling. After indulging his desire to drink in every inch of Asher's body, Nathaniel headed into the bathroom, cleaning himself as thoroughly as possible. There's no way he can rid himself of Moon's and Jason's scents utterly, but he doesn't think he really needs to.

Clean, dry, and his hair braided, Nathaniel had crawled into bed with Asher, cuddling close to the cool flesh of his lover. Within minutes, he'd fallen asleep, snuggled under the blankets with his vampire, sated, content, and rather happy.

And it's how Asher will find him with the master vampire wakes for the night, Nathaniel still curled against his side, relaxed and sleeping peacefully.

Asher awakens, soothed by the familiar heartbeat, that alone enough to make him wake slower, relaxed by the slow cadence of Nathaniel's breathing. He presses close, sliding an arm over Nathaniel's waist, nuzzling the back of his neck.

He smells like pack, like night and wolf, and above all, contentment. It's not something Asher can begrudge his lover, even if he wanted to.

Kissing Nathaniel's shoulder, Asher lies down, happy to let Nathaniel wake on his own, listening to him breathe.
