morning

scarlet woke up, sunlight shining in through the window. she opened her eyes, blinking groggily. wolf loosened his hold on her, giving her the space to turn over and face him. she grinned at him and kissed him on the nose. "good morning" she said. he smiled back, but something in his expression seemed drawn. she ran her thumb over his eyes, rubbing the sleep out of his eyelashes. "what's wrong?" she asked. "is your dream from last night bothering you?" his expression became troubled, answering scarlet's question. "come here," she said, scooting closer to him. he wrapped his arms around her, leaning his forehead against hers. "i'm right here. we're not running anymore. we're safe. i'm safe," she whispered to him, running her thumb across his cheekbone, back and forth, back and forth. he looked at her, his gaze locked on hers. he tilted his mouth towards her, asking with his eyes. she closed the space between them, kissing him gently. she felt him smile faintly before he started kissing her more fervently. his arms tightened around her, locking her in place while he shifted to lay on top her, letting most of his weight settle into his forearms on either side of her upper body. he pulled away, searching her eyes before she pulled his mouth back to hers, pulling him closer to her. he sighed and she smiled, touching him wherever she could reach. her fingers skimmed across his back and raked through his hair. eventually, they pulled away and wolf settled next to her, forehead against hers, holding her to him, gazing into her eyes, perfectly content.
