That he isn’t actually asking her about the way he’s moving doesn’t mean that isn’t, first, what he gets a response to; her knuckles whiten where she’s gripping the mussed bedding under them and the mewling sound she makes is best described as something that well might offend her to have repeated back. She definitely doesn’t sound like that, she’d laugh then, fuck off,
and her wings flutter but they don’t rise. He can feel the flex of muscle under his hand, the way they shift, where they connect; she feels that pressure as a guide, less tense but more aware. Easier to relax into and underneath, the irresistible snaps of her wings like flicked fabric out past her shoulders and not where he’s going to catch a slap (again).
“I wouldn’t,” why does she have to have a smart mouth in bed, what’s wrong with just saying yes, good, “describe fucking you anything like— as mildly as — comfortable— for the record,”
dropping her shoulder to find the angle she wants, her fingers brush against him where she touches herself,
That smart mouth of Gwenaëlle’s is one of the things he loves best about her, the perpetual tart humour, the way she has purposefully moulded it to communicativeness, the way he can hear very loudly what does in fact work for her, whenever he rolls his hips and hits the right spot again. That keening noise that makes everything in him tighten. That sardonic compliment, and she can hear Stephen laugh behind her, fond,
“Good,” breathless, starting to lose the thread a little in those murmured words, “alright, Gwenaëlle, that’s good,”
and they finally figured out how to make it work, landing on the particular configuration of limbs and position that everything’s safely out of the way, and he’s not distracted by the ache in his hands and she’s thinking less of the wings. So in the end it’s just heat and pressure and friction and pleasure, driving himself into her again and again and her fingers sliding against herself and against his cock until they’re both starting to teeter on that peak.
How many times have they made each other fall apart like this, working each other over in bed like this, and even changed he’s never tired of her, ever —
in that: it feels a little bit like a miracle. It’s a relief to find that being with him still feels like this — that she still feels like herself, that figuring out how to fit together is (still) a solvable problem. It’s a lot of things, and it’s also just: that tell-tale tightness in her belly and her thighs, the arch of her back, beads of sweat between her breasts and under his hand. It’s: gasping because she didn’t realise she was holding her breath, twisting her fingers in the bedding, burying her face in her arms and concentrating on not immediately slumping to the bedding while he still needs her hips where they are.
He’s already said it, and it hasn’t been news to her, but it still feels as if it merits— “I missed you,” ragged where she hasn’t caught her breath, in no hurry to do so.
They have so many mornings spread out in front of them, but this one is going to stay with her for a while— a good morning.
It’s coming and coming back to each other, it’s those last few thrusts before his orgasm topples after her. He pulls out and collapses to the mattress, lying on his side to face Gwenaëlle and simply look at her, taking her in, adoring, memorising and re-memorising the angle of her cheek and turn of her mouth and glint of her eyes. Their legs are entwined, a knee against hers, another complicated sticky tangle of limbs and ensuring he’s out-of-the-way. Lying together afterwards, pleasantly warm and pliant; the sunlight’s still dappling through the houseboat windows, fracturing through her wings.
Stephen leans in and kisses her shoulder, lingering and content to linger. It’s a holiday. Maybe they’ll wind up together again later; maybe she’ll start trying to tinker through the puzzle-box and he’ll settle his mouth between her legs to cheekily distract her from it. It’s simply nice; to feel more like themselves again, and to know that things both have changed and haven’t changed.
