Chapter 35: Preserving the Old World

I inhale sharply as my eyes flutter open. The brassy hue of morning paints the walls with Ship 3's channeled energy, gold glittering.

Slowly, my senses wake and my eyes flutter down. My arms are wrapped around Vash's bare chest, his scars divot along his skin beneath my touch. He breathes steadily, eyes still closed with sweeping lashes and rosy cheeks. One of his arms is wrapped around me while the other is anchored behind his head.

He looks beautiful and perfect and raw. Like a dream brought to life.

I smile, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips before I start to peel myself away, but his hold becomes stronger, pulling me back as he takes me into both arms.

"Five more minutes," he mumbles, his voice husky and filled with sleep. "Just five more minutes."

I laugh, "We don't have five more minutes. We have to get ready. Jonas is coming today, remember?"

At first, I was nervous to hear that Vash invited my uncle to Ship 3. Nervous that maybe it would stir too many emotions of his past, possibly leaving him with a heavier load of guilt on his shoulders. But nerves quickly gave way to excitement because I want him to see for himself how well we are thriving.

Vash moans, pouting. "That's later. Can't we spare five minutes?" He nestles closer to me, burying his face in the crook of my neck. "You're warm and I'm cold."

"You feel plenty warm to me," I say. His body heat pulses against me, swaddling me in his warmth as the smell of spice fills my nose. "Besides," I add, once again pulling away, "we went how many rounds last night?"

After our moment in the shower, Vash managed to get a hold of Nicholas, who gladly took Greywynn for the night so we could have some alone time. And that alone time included me straddling him as his hard cock pulsated in me before he would flip us and pound into me relentlessly, mercilessly.

"That's why we need five more minutes," he yawns. "That was a lot of energy expended. Aren't you tired?"

"No." I kiss his head and pull away once more, this time escaping his hold. "I am wide awake and ready to shower and get dressed."

His eyes flash to me, this sudden hunger in them as I climb to my feet, naked. They burn my skin as he watches me from where he lays, lust pooling in my belly. I smirk, kissing him once more.

"I think I should shower alone, though," I whisper.

His eyes darken. "That's fine. You can always join me during mine."

"I think we should both shower alone this morning."

I move around the bed and make my way into the bathroom before he can say anything else. All I hear is a groan as he calls, "You're not being fair."

And I smile.

It is Vash who goes to the surface to get Jonas. I wanted to, but by the time we needed to leave, I still wasn't done dressing Greywynn, so Vash went alone.

It's ridiculous and silly, but I still feel nervous whenever he goes somewhere alone, say the surface. Even when we first went to Jonas, we were both there on the surface. We might not have been in the same space, but we were close enough, and that was what kept me at ease. But him going to the surface alone?

I can't help but feel anxious.

"I love that bow in her hair," Meryl says, smiling at Grey. She waves at the giggly baby in my arms and turns to me. "So, your uncle is coming here?"
