It was easy, perhaps too easy, to fall asleep in his arms. Rest was never simple for her, but with him, she could drift, and that was yet another reason these visits were so meaningful for her. It was strange that someone else made her feel whole, but he did.
Perhaps that was why they couldn't stay together for too long, too much complacency would make her soft and weak, useless to her Master and too easily defeated. As much as she hated it, the hunger for power for life, for everything, was what kept her at the level of excellence she was. Perhaps it was similar for him.
But for now in this moment she indulged and soaked in the pleasure of having him to herself. She slept deeply and well and woke with the fires burned down to embers, her body curled closer to his and the warmth he radiated.
Skarlet linked awake with a satisfied smile, fingers moving through the coarse hair on the broad expanse of his chest. It took time to try to pull herself away to run a bath for them, the steamy water tub was a luxury she was granted based on the particulars of her magic. Blood was messy and often frowned upon in court, this became an indulgent solution.
