'Well, so much for restraint…' I thought to myself, the faint ghost of a smile tugging at my lips as Selia's mischievous suggestion still lingered in the air. But she didn't push further. At least, not yet. Once the last of my strength truly ran dry, she allowed me to topple back into the mattress, nestling in by my side as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
And that was how the night came and passed, uneventful and strangely serene.
There were no sudden revelations, no divine visions nor hidden dangers creeping out from the dark corners of the night. Conversely, Selia didn't seek to tease me any further, to push my endurance even closer to its brink.
All she did, was reach out and cover my hand with hers, the lone degree of physical contant we established even though we both laid down in a single bed.
Just a simple, warm, quiet rest.
