A/N: I just felt like writing something....sensual? I think that may be the right word...but at the same time just something...simple, something loving....I hope I got it right.
Tommy was always gentle with Megan. She was the one person that he would slow down for; that he would take his time for. There was never a need to rush when they were together and Tommy found that when he went slow, when he pulled back on his speed and his desire to rush through the act, it was like a whole new experience.
His fingers slowly smoothed down her back, memorizing every inch of her. When they reached the spot where he wings met her back, he brushed his fingertips over the soft, fragile extensions of her being and let himself drown in the colors.
A soft sound escaped the warm body on top of him. Megan’s eyes were closed as she pressed a kiss to his shoulder before resting her head against it, pressing her face against his neck and sighing happily.
It was his sign to keep going and his fingers trailed down once more. They danced over the small of her back and began to dip lover before changing direction, smoothing up towards her wings yet again.
Tommy felt her breathing begin to slow and fingers stopped where they were, coming to rest just below her wings as he kissed the top of her head. His own eyes slipped shut and Tommy himself be lulled to sleep by her heartbeat and by the feel of her body pressed to his.
