And then some. Whatever it takes to ensure that their bonds stay ironclad. It's the little things, like beer, like coming together. Matt needs to do more of that.

Oh? His thoughts are how amazing she is. How loving and how much this moment means as the other sounds of the morning are coming back to him with the slowing of their breath and heartbeats. Settled and safe is mutual. Matt murmurs, "I love you" into her skin. Verity will find that he is even more responsive and malleable to her touch. Right into her kiss. This is the life.

A good start for the morning. There is the whole rest of the day too. Matt feels his eyelids getting a little heavy. He'd rather wait to move. She's still full and the beautiful ache hasn't set into his bones. It's about taking care of her right now. The way she deserves.
