Gamora continued to have those nightmares every night, never once being able to get one night of rest. And every night, Peter would do the same thing; comfort her and whisper sweet nothings in her ear before she'd fall fast asleep in his arms, her naked body pressing softly against his.
One night, Gamora woke up, her screams worse than usual, alerting Peter almost instantly. He shot up and kissed Gamora gently on her forehead... "Gam?" he purred, "are you okay?"
Gamora turned to him, her face soaked with a mixture of sweat and tears, "P... Peter?"
Peter brushed a few stray hairs away from her face and tucked them behind her ear, "Yeah, it's me."
"What if Thanos come back?..." she said, her breathing heavy and her heart racing.
"He won't, I promise. I will protect you till my dying day." he hugged her tightly, "I'm here, Gamora. And I'm not gonna make the mistake of losing you again." he smiled softly and laid her on top of him, wrapping his big arms around her. He began to sing sweetly in her ear, "Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be, your eyes could steal the sailor from the sea..." he sung to her until finally, she was asleep again.
