147 The First Day Of Winter

They made love slowly and passionately for a good long while. There were love and warmth in every movement, every kiss, every whisper.

Even though they had had sexual intercourse so many times already, this felt like the first time that their hearts, bodies, and souls intertwined and became one. It was so beautiful.

"I love you too," Emmelyn whispered between her panting as she reached her peak for the 'nth time that night, and he chased her to the clouds.

They stayed there for a while, their little heaven on earth, before slowly coming down and realized that it was almost dawn.

It was the first day of winter.  The fire was completely gone now, leaving behind some burning charcoal in the fireplace.

However, none of them felt the cold. All their beings were engulfed in a peaceful warmth.

Mars rolled to the side and pulled Emmelyn into his embrace. He kissed her hair and took the blanket to cover their bodies. It felt perfect.
