She holds tight to him, her face pressed against the side of his neck, her palms pressed flat against his back. Her breathing is ragged and after a long moment, she sinks back to the bed, pulling him down, not letting him go.

Aftershocks still ripple through her, and she undulates softly beneath him, gentling him back to earth, kissing his jaw and then his mouth. Soft kisses, tender, slow kisses, across his cheek and the peak of his brow, back down the other cheek to his chin, smiling as she comes back to kissing his mouth again.
