PEACEMAKER || MAI ZENIN.

Midnight Vow II

The candles scattered across their private quarters lit the room to an orange colored sky. Their silhouettes danced across the walls, twirling, spinning and smothering their bodies so closely. Mai dipped back her head against the soft pillows with Denshi now towering over her. He watched her sigh against the cushions before her hands reach for the sides of his face, eyes gleaming of love and affection. 

"I cannot believe this is happening. This feels like a dream, doesn't it?" 

"Yes," Denshi chuckled softly before planting his worn hand over hers, "The best dream ever, one that's come to life." He kissed her forehead. "And one," He kisses her lips, "I can replay forever and ever." 

"So romantic." She giggled. Even more so when he stuffs his face against her neck, taking a whiff of her sweet aroma. He couldn't believe it. She was finally his and no one could ever take that away from him. There was no point in hiding it anymore. His heart can almost burst from just thinking of that. He loves her so much. 

"I've always been, don't you think?" 

"That's why I love you," She grins, "But really, Den. I know it might be weird to say but I'm going to say it. Thank you." 

"Thank you?" He backs his head a little to look at his wife. He cocks it a bit, "Why say that?" 

And he gasped. Mai had tears coming in the corner of her eyes. She was smiling but crying all at once. It was strange and Denshi did not know if was either sad or happy. Tears of joy? Tears of sadness? Perhaps both? He waited for her answer. 

"Den, thank you for not ignoring the little girl you met all those years ago." 

That nearly broke him. He gulped from the revelation and his eyes turned wide with emotion. He wanted to cry with her but instead he smiled sweetly, running his fingers to her cheeks where he could wipe away the tears cascading down her skin. She hiccups a bit and he shushes her in a low voice. They now look at each other, 

"Are you kidding? Mai, meeting you was the best thing that's ever happened to my life!" He declared, "I'll never change it for the world. I'll always be there for you, Mai. And if there other versions of ourselves in another life, I'm certain I'd find you there too. You will never be alone. I have you." 

"Den.." stunned by his proclamation for a moment to then illicit an intentional, lopsided grin across her features, "Show me." 

"Okay." He would show her. He silenced her before she can say anything, crashing his lips against her. Their hands wandered across their naked features, refusing to break their kiss while doing so. She held the locks of his brown hair, refusing to let go unless he stayed close to her but of course, he wasn't going to leave anytime soon. He made sure he was pressed against her and feeling her sweat against his skin as he engulfed her mouth with his, rolling his tongue into her caverns. He ventured lower and lower until he got where he wanted to be. His fingers crawled inside her, forcing her to illicit a loud moan. 

Her head was thrown back against the pillows as he fingered and licked and sucked on her. She was treasure no one is dared to get near and he wanted to make sure he left his mark. He felt her shaking out of excitement and instantly thought she was ready for him. Sure, he might be eager and he could just kill some more time.
