Rhythm of the Heat

After breakfast, Rose’s stallions had gone to work with Polar, leaving Uzoma with the day off since his mare had gone off to spend some time with Ekua, with the promise to be back around lunchtime. Eventually, when Rose returned to their yurt, she found Uzoma heading toward it as well. He appeared to be approaching from the direction of the river and his activity there was evidenced by his still dripping mane and tail. Stalking up on him quietly, like a big cat, she leaned in and goosed his rump with a playful love-bite.

Uzoma’s tail flicked then, playfully swatting her and he glanced back with a smirk, “I knew you were back there~”

“Mhmm~” Rose teased him playfully, sidling up to him and giving his lips a quick kiss.

Uzoma nickered and gave her lip a soft nibble in return, “How was your day with Ekua~?”

His mare appeared thoughtful a moment, before offering him a small smile, “Eventful. How was yours?” She proclaimed, clearly not wanting to talk about it, “Feeling cleaner?”

Uzoma quirked an eyebrow at her answer, but chose not to push; instead, he leaned in to nuzzle her ear, “Much cleaner~”

“Well, I am all yours now, so,” Rose nuzzled him in return, “what would you like to do?”

“Hhmmm...” He rubbed his neck against hers thoughtfully, “I would like to see how ponies live every day.”

She was only slightly surprised at his declaration, nevertheless, she smiled at him. “If you’re sure...I’m not from Aura though, Uzoma.” Rose reminded him patiently.

“Perhaps, but you know more of ponies than I.” He pointed out, moving to sidle up to her.

“I grew up in a cloud city, Uzoma. You need to understand that living on the ground is new to me, as are the ponies that live here.” Rose explained to him patiently, only to offer him a smile, “But I will do my best if that is what you would like.”

“Then we will be exploring something new together.” Uzoma purred and nibbled at her ear. “Which is exciting enough for me.”

At his, his pegasus lover cooed sweetly and leaned into his side, rather enjoying his attention. She made no attempt to stop the swishing of her tail as it flicked up against his hip. Her stallion smiled knowingly and bumped her shoulder to get her moving. At the same time, he flicked his tail at her in return, trying to encourage her to keep it up.

Rose made a quick detour into the yurt to get her saddlebags, before leading him into town, giving her the chance to show off what she knew about the ponies that lived on the ground - which was admittedly meager. Still, Uzoma was right, it was more than he knew, if only by a little.

The two went down to the docks, where she could look at the ships that brought ponies to and fro. Uzoma had much the same reaction to the ships that Xolani did, seeming awed by the constructs. Having already eaten, Rose then dragged him into the candy shop that she had stopped at a few days earlier, though this time she brought her stallion along inside, encouraging him to pick out a few. Uzoma seemed almost as awed by the variety of sweets as he was by the ships. He initially seemed indecisive, but was soon drawn to various nut based treats. Chocolate covered peanuts, roasted almonds, and many others drew his attention as he began to go over them with a keen eye, picking only those he saw as the best. Compass Rose giggled at his antics, but also encouraged him, mentioning that she also liked the chocolate covered nuts, though she might have been teasing him considering that she did whisper that particular fact into his ear. Uzoma, however, took it for fact and they became the majority of his selection, as he was eager to share with his mare.

After their purchase was complete, Rose and Uzoma wandered through town, taking their time and even making small talk with a few of the locals. Eventually, the two ended up in the shade covered park, where she encouraged him to take a seat and they could enjoy their snack amongst the many ponies that themselves made small talk with each other as they enjoyed their lunch breaks. As they rested, Uzoma insisted that she lay her head in his lap as he fed her from the treats they shared. His own reaction to the chocolate covered peanuts was to declare their creator blessed by the spirits. The attention this garnered was shaken off by Rose, as she merely giggled with him, enjoying his company and the fact that he was getting a proper date that he seemed to enjoy. All in all, Uzoma seemed to revel in the opportunity to pamper his mare, going so far as to offer her a backrub, before they started moving again. She politely declined, suggesting that perhaps they should take a walk through the orchard instead...

Uzoma accepted eagerly, giving her a hungry kiss, before hopping up and bouncing in place with a challenging grin. With that, the two of them were off, dashing away like a pair of lightning bolts; Compass Rose easily matching the pace she had the previous time they had went running. This time, on the other hoof, she was not about to make it easy for her stallion to ‘catch’ her and she pulled out every trick she could to make it harder on him, including taking to the air for short stints. Uzoma welcomed the challenge and even when he couldn’t keep pace with her, he was right behind her, nipping playfully at her tail and rump. Though she teased him in return when she could, she was doing all she could to lead him on, until finally she let him catch her somewhere along the edge of the orchard. In an instant, her stallion was atop her, nipping possessively at her neck as he ground his sheath softly into her groin. Compass Rose nickered submissively and leaned into her stallion’s nibbles, her wings extended in anticipation, intentionally brushing down his sides.

“Uzoma,” She cooed sweetly, “I’m yours, however you want me~” She offered herself to him without hesitation.

“Mmmm, right here at the edge of the orchard~” The dark stallion growled thoughtfully, “Claiming you right here where anyone could come by...” He nipped at her ear and ground a little more firmly into her, the crown of his cock starting to protrude.

Rose mewled needily in a soft voice, “I don’t want to get caught.” She informed him, but did not seem to be trying to discourage him, but rather simply making sure he understood.

“Don’t be so ashamed of displaying our love~” He replied in a soft, affectionate growl, and rubbed his growing length up and down her slit.

Stifling a squeal, she shook her head softly. “I’m not ashamed, but this is special. I am your mare and no one else’s.”

“That’s right~” Uzoma grinned and latched onto the base of her neck, “You are mine~” He growled around her flesh and pressed the crown of his erection into her sex, his glans flaring as her flesh gripped his member. The mare was forced to bite her lip to stop the blissful squeal from turning into a blissful scream as she shuddered beneath him, a smile pulling at her muzzle. “I love you, my lovely Rose.” Uzoma growled hungrily and pressed himself to the hilt within her.

Compass Rose whinny-whined nigh-breathlessly as his cock seemed to press the breath from her lungs, her hot folds surrounding him and massaging his stallionhood deep within her, trying to pleasure him as much as he pleased her. “I love you too, Uzoma~!” She offered him delightfully.

Uzoma paused for a moment and looked into her eyes with an affectionate smile, before leaning forward to give her cheek a kiss and growled in her ear, “Mine.” Gripping her hips tightly in his hooves for purchase, he gave her a firm hump and latched onto her neck again.

Rose grunted deeply at his hips meeting hers, only to purr lustfully. “I’m your mare, take me as you please~”

“Of course.” Uzoma grinned, and without further warning, he took her mane in his mouth and gave it a sharp tug, pulling her back into his next thrust; this earned him a shrill whinny that she couldn’t completely muffle.

“I prefer the neck…” She informed him, her voice sounding almost as needy as her insides that began to coat his shaft in hot feminine juices.

Uzoma gave her neck a quick bite with his next thrust, “Do you like this Rose?” He punctuated the question with another bite and a thrust, “Having your stallion in charge?” Another bite, another thrust, “Knowing how much he enjoys you?”

“Yes! Yes, I love making you happy! I love pleasing you!” She moaned deeply, needily; her insides suckling at his flesh madly, becoming yet hotter and wetter. “Enjoy my body, Uzoma~!”

Uzoma grinned devilishly and nipped up and down her neck, “I figured you liked making us happy.” He chuckled and sped up his pounding, “But do you like being dominated like this?” He wondered curiously.

“If it makes you happy, yes!” She barked, throwing her head about in pleasure, grinding back into his thrusts as best as she could manage, given his hold on her rump.

“Not what I asked.” While Uzoma never ceased humping, he smirked and bit her neck reproachfully, “Your stallion enjoys your body, no matter how he gets it.” He nipped her shoulder and ground into her firmly with his next thrust. “I asked if you liked being dominated.”

“I like to make you happy,” Compass Rose whined, wishing he would continue his former workover of thrusting into her swiftly, “As long as you are happy, I don’t care either way~”

“Mine...” Uzoma growled approvingly and pulled on her mane once more, “Let me hear you whinny again.”

Uzoma’s mare did as she was bade, whinnying excitedly at her stallion’s eagerness. “Uzoma~” She whined as she neared her climax. With a loud whinny of his own, Uzoma began to climax, though he continued to thrust at a slower pace; the feeling causing the young mare to seize up beneath him. “Uzoma~!” She cried shrilly, just before his hips were positively soaked with her fem-cum.

Uzoma slid home within her one last time, with a dominant snort, as he waited for his climax to end. “I love you, Rose.” He panted into her ear, before promptly tugging on it with a purr.

“I love you-I love you...Uzoma!” Compass Rose exclaimed, weakly panting, a blissful little whine to her voice at his tugging on her ear.

“I can’t wait to see your full belly someday~” Her stallion’s hooves came down around her waist to stroke lovingly at her belly, “My lovely Rose.”

“Mmmm- Maybe come spring~” Compass Rose purred, just a little out of it, her insides softly massaging her stallion’s rod deep inside her.

Uzoma chuckled and nuzzled her more tenderly, “What would you like to do after this? We still have much of the day to ourselves.”

“Again?” She turned her head about, regarding him hopefully, a small smile tugging at her lips.

“Maybe later.” He gave her ear another soft tug, “Even I need a break between rounds~ Would you like to take another stroll through town?”

Compass Rose looked momentarily disappointed, before becoming deviously playful. “Want to show me off, do we…?”

“How else will they know you’re mine?” Uzoma grinned and nipped at her shoulder.

“Maybe you’re mine?” Compass Rose teased him, tightening down on his member with her vaginal muscles.

“Mmm...” Uzoma nuzzled up her neck, only to give her mane another tug, “Mine~” Compass Rose purred happily, allowing her stallion to pull on her mane as he would. “Yes, I think I would just like to relax and take a walk with my mare for a while.” He decided with a soft hum, before starting to slide out of her.

“Uzoma...your mare still wants to play~” Compass Rose whimpered quietly at the feeling of him pulling out of her.

“And we will.” He reassured her with a tender lick to her neck, “Mmmm, would you like to put on a proper show later~?”

Rose frowned softly, “You know I only do it for you.” She reminded him gently.

“It was just a thought.” Uzoma shrugged and nuzzled into her mane, finally popping his crown out of her and unleashing a steady flow of his seed, “I thought you might have some fun showing off for one of your friends, but it is not important to me.”

Rose whined nearly dramatically, only, Uzoma got the impression that she truly missed the feeling of him inside. “Ekua?” Rose asked after a moment to compose herself, somewhat surprised.

“Or Polar.” He hummed and kissed her neck and hopped down off her back to lean against her side.

Rose frowned then. “Ponies would likely consider such a gesture rude. Especially since she doesn’t have a stallion.” She informed him, slowly turning about and rubbing coats with him, only to lean down to start cleaning up his messy tool.

Uzoma nickered at the attention and gave her flank a soft nibble, “I have never been cleaned by such a heavenly tongue~”

“I could do more than just clean you, if you wished~?” Rose suggested, kissing at his seminal duct.

Her stallion’s cock twitched, but he placed a halting hoof upon her mane. “Later. Then you can have as much as you want~” He assured her with a nicker.

A devious thought came to mind as she found herself nose to crown with his member, “And if I decided to just latch on regardless?” Rose hummed curiously, softly licking at his length to ‘clean’ him.

Uzoma nickered and glanced down at her curiously, “If you are so hungry for it, perhaps you would like me to mount your muzzle~” Rose frowned and her ears pinned back, clearly not liking the idea. Instead, she dutifully went back to cleaning him up. When she did, her stallion smiled softly and stroked her mane lovingly, “You are a good mare, Rose~” Rose nickered softly, but it seemed thin on enthusiasm; Uzoma furrowed his brow and nuzzled her rump then, “Please smile for me, Rose...”

His mare removed herself from his groin then to spin about and sidle up on his opposite side, a small smile upon her face - not the broad smile she had before - leaning up, she gave his cheek a peck. “Love you~” She offered simply.

“I love you as well, Rose~” He declared with a reassuring nuzzle. “You please me to no end, do you know that?”

Rose looked ready to bite back a comment, before thinking better of it and looking up at him with a concerned expression. “Do I~?” She asked him frankly with a wry expression.

Uzoma’s reply came in the form of his hoof on her mane, pulling her into a hungry, passionate kiss. He was then surprised when Rose took a step into him, aggressively pressing into the kiss in return.

After his initial moment of surprise, Uzoma purred into the kiss, before pulling back to nip her nose. “You please me more than I could ever have dreamed and later I am going to screw you until you can’t walk~”

Rose bit her lip and took a deep breath, before looking decidedly into his eyes. “If you don’t want to mount me again, I want to pleasure you.” She declared firmly, “I want you to whine for me.”

“Mmm, then we are at an impasse...” Uzoma hummed and gave her a softer kiss, “I want to rest, but you want to please me. So how about a compromise~?” He purred suggestively and leaned in to nip her ear. His mare blinked and tilted her head curiously, awaiting his idea. “You get to make me whine...and I get to paint your muzzle before I show you off~”

Rose merely frowned then. “I’m not walking around with cum on my face.” She huffed indignantly.

Uzoma scrunched up his face with a playful smile and licked her cheek, “I think you’d look cute like that~”

His mare regarded him critically for a moment, before speaking. “I’d think you’d be too busy to care as I swallowed your lust.”

Her stallion pouted playfully then, “Fine, no muzzle painting~”

At his reaction, she snorted abruptly. “You know, never mind.”

Uzoma frowned and immediately went to nuzzle under her chin. “I’m sorry...”

“We should head back, I should get dinner ready for when everyone gets back.” She huffed, basically ignoring his nuzzle.

Uzoma’s ears lay back and he wrapped his arms around her with a barely audible whimper. “Please don’t be mad, I was just trying to tease...”

Rose sighed, leaning her head against his. “It’s fine, Uzoma. I’m not mad…” She proclaimed thoughtfully, “I just-”

Uzoma’s ears perked some and he glanced up at her. “Just what? Clearly it’s not fine.”

“I wanted something you didn’t, you told me so.” Rose explained, “It’s my job to overcome this fillyish disappointment.”

“No.” Uzoma declared and she suddenly found his nose pressed to hers. “It is my job to take care of my mare. If you are disappointed, I’m not doing my job. I am going to fix this.” He gave her a quick kiss then. “Give me a command. Any command. The first thing that would make you happy right now.”

“Stop,” Rose asked of him, her ears folded back self-consciously, “you’re making me feel guilty~”

Uzoma’s own ears folded once more and he nuzzled into her neck, “Just...tell me what you desire.”

“I want you to be happy. To know I made you happy. To make you happier than happy~” Rose tried to explain to him.

“Rose, I love you more than I have ever loved another in my life. Happier than happy is what I am right now to have you.” Uzoma murmured and began to nibble up her neck. “I want to return the favor.”

The pegasus laughed sweetly then, nuzzling him in return. “Listen to us, going around in circles~”

Uzoma couldn’t help but chuckle in return, “Why don’t we go for a walk~?” He asked her sweetly, “Later, we can find a secluded place here in the orchard or by the river and we will please each other silly~”

Rose smiled then, “You know what would please me?” She asked him sweetly, “Being cuddled by my stallion, having a chance to fondle and grope every hoofful of your body~”

Uzoma suddenly had his mane in her teeth. With a soft smile, he pulled her over to a nearby tree and took a seat beneath it. The pegasus followed him, only to latch onto his neck and urge him to lay upon his side as did she.

Her stallion nickered at her suddenly more aggressive display and wrapped his arms tight around her then, “Not worried about anyone stumbling on us, then~?”

“What, when we’re cuddling?” Rose asked in surprise, only to shake her head, “No, I am confident you will drive off any unwanted courters.”

The mare too wrapped her arms around him as she snuggled into him and lay her neck over his, only for her hooves to start at his rump.

Uzoma nickered and squeezed her own rump in return. “Mmmm, the stallions perhaps~” He hummed thoughtfully, “There’s a sense of pride for a stallion, showing off to mares.”

“Just so long as they don’t touch. My stallions won’t just mount any mare, she has to be herd material...worthy of bearing your foals~!” Rose proclaimed, before latching onto his neck possessively.

“Mmm, yes~” Uzoma purred and nipped her ear in return, before falling into a thoughtful silence, “What of good friends? Mares that simply wish to stud?” He asked her curiously, trying to gauge her comfort with such things compared to a zebra mare.

“Then she better ask me for the privilege of the best stallions on the Savannah, so far as I am concerned.” She purred, a hoof wandering back to weigh his scrotum appreciatively.

Uzoma nickered appreciatively and began to stroke her wing shoulders, “I have to admit, that idea turns me on. Some pretty, worthwhile young mare coming to you and asking for permission to breed with me~?”

“Why, because I would say; yes? Or because I would insist you breed me first?” She asked him, giving his balls a sensual squeeze.

Uzoma hissed softly in pleasure and gave her mane a soft tug, “Yes~” Very slowly, Rose rolled the two of them, giving him the chance to stop her if he wanted to, until Uzoma was upon his back. Once there, she began to gently rub her firm belly into his groin. Her stallion groaned and gently rubbed his groin up against her, “Oh, I am far too greedy a stallion~”

“I shudder to think what that means of me~”

“The greatest mare alive~” He proclaimed with a grin. “Here your stallion is, talking about breeding other mares with you and you just keep pleasing him.” He ran his hoof lovingly through her mane, “How did I manage to win your heart~?”

Rose chuckled softly. “It’s not entirely selfless. If I fuck you senseless, you won’t have the energy to mount other mares~” She revealed, grinding her marehood up against the opening to his sheath.

Uzoma nickered and once more his crown began to peak from his sheath, “You sure~? I have more energy than the average stallion~”

“You’re the one that wanted to rest.” She reminded him, “I was the one that wanted you to stay inside of me once you were done.” She declared, pressing her sopping labia back into his emerging glans.

Uzoma groaned and began to nip possessively at her neck, “Does the idea really turn you on that much~? Warming my flesh~” Rose simply pressed her nose to his with a smile. His cock began to grow straight up into her awaiting sex then and he growled, “So if I simply mounted you one day to take a nap with my rod hilted in you~?”

Rose too growled as her muscles stroked his shaft lovingly, “I would totally take advantage of you.”

“Fucking your stallion while he slept?” He nipped her lip playfully, “Naughty filly~”

“If you could manage to sleep~” She purred, giving his length a milking squeeze.

“And if I did the same to you sometime~?” He asked, cocking his head curiously.

“What, letting me nap with you inside me?” She asked him with a curious blink, “I wish you would every time~”

“I was referring more to fucking each other while the other slept.” He clarified.

“If I’m asleep, please wake me first...but if I fall asleep on you? Go for it.” Rose shrugged with a smile, her vagina heating up and working him more just at the thought of it.

Uzoma grinned then and bit her neck, “You like the idea of me fucking you after you’ve fallen asleep~” He nickered and ground up into her, his cock having reached full length inside of her.

“I’d never let you go if it were practical.” Rose smiled honestly at him.

Uzoma grinned and gave her mane a playful tug, “If you ever pass out on me, expect to wake thoroughly soiled~”

At his words, her muscles milked him hard, her voice singing her pleasure softly at his mane tug. Uzoma groaned hungrily and took her hips in his hooves. With a soft snort, he began to shift her up and down in his lap, only to stop with a curious expression when she resisted him.

“How long do you think you can go like this without humping?” She asked him in a sweet, yet teasing voice; concentrating on her muscles, to stimulate him without actually having to move her hips at all.

Uzoma nickered and gave her hips a soft squeeze. “Depends on how much you actively please me~” He returned with a soft shrug, “I could stay like this all day if we didn’t try to pleasure each other~ At this rate? Perhaps an hour or so~”

Closing her eyes, Rose lay herself down upon his belly and concentrated upon her muscles, doing her best to intensify the way they massaged and milked his rod deep inside her hot folds. At first, Uzoma was able to remain still and appreciate her skill. However, after a few long minutes of such pleasurable torture growing in intensity, he was unable to stop himself from thrusting hard up into her. The mare’s hiss quickly turned into a soft chuckle.

“An hour~?” She teased him playfully, grinding back into his crown.

“You’re not playing fair~” He nickered playfully and gave her shoulder a nip that caused her to shiver.

“Then tell me to stop~” She challenged him with a sweet, lilting voice, while rubbing her head against his neck.

“Not a chance~” Uzoma growled and began to smoothly grind his hips up into hers.

With his grinding, Rose’s purr nearly turned into a soft growl, before she started nibbling the side of his neck softly. “You like~?” She hummed into his ear, greatly enjoying their second coupling.

“I like~” Uzoma nodded contentedly, before pressing his muzzle into her mane. His mare merely cradled his head, pressing his nose into her neck to ensure that he got a deep breath of her scent as she continued to work him over with nothing but her muscles. However, he could feel her trembling in his arms as her own pleasure grew. “I love you, my Rose~” Her stallion nickered and gave her another squeeze, pulling her tight against him.

“And I love you, Uzoma.” She cooed sweetly, “Would you like more?”

“I think I like it just like this~” Uzoma shook his head softly, causing Rose to shudder at his declaration and her muscles to give him a hard milking, then she started gnawing gently upon his ear. “Relax, Love~” He murmured soothingly, “Let me feel your pleasure~ Do what makes you feel good~”

A high-pitched whine escaped her then and she started slowly gyrating in his lap. “Uzoma, ponies don’t get as long as you~” She cooed into his ear, only to start giving him less modest nibbles upon his earlobe.

“Mmmm, I take it you prefer ours then~?” Uzoma asked her with a soft groan and a chuckle. Rose bit his ear almost to the point it hurt and ground his flared head right into her cervix with a deep groan of pleasure that sounded like it almost hurt. He smiled knowingly then, “Yeah, you do~”

“My last stallion would’ve never given me this.” Rose growled, going back to gyrating languidly in his lap, “He couldn’t have given me this.” She smiled between nibbles, “You are an all around better stallion than him...and a better fuck~”

“Then let your life with us be your revenge~” Uzoma nickered and gave her mane a few soft tugs.

“Avenge me of him.” Rose encouraged him, kissing his ear, “Stir me up, Love~”

“Gladly~” With that, Uzoma began to gently stir his hips, sensually grinding up into the mare he loved.

Rose cooed longingly and worked in concert with him, shaking her hips in time with him. “You going to do this to me come spring? Hog me from all the others, slowly blowing my mind?”

“Mmmm, I don’t think I could be so greedy~”

“Oh~?” Rose teased him in faux-disappointment - only half wanting him to do so, the other half of her wanted all four of them to sate her need come spring.

Uzoma shook his head and leaned back to nibble her lip, “Of course not~ Your stallions will have to pass you around to give all of us a chance~” He declared playfully.

Rose laughed melodically then, nuzzling into his nose, “That sounds fun.” She admitted in a small, yet husky voice, before moaning sweetly in enjoyment.

“Would you like to go to the market after we relax~?” Uzoma asked her sweetly then, “Perhaps visit the beach~?”

“H-how about you just parade me around the zebra-town?” Rose asked him, a slight bit of apprehension in her voice.

Uzoma blinked and pressed his nose to hers then, “Did something happen last time?”

Rose nodded her head softly, pecking Uzoma’s lips. “Bad stallion, Xolani had to beat him up…”

Uzoma frowned then and nuzzled her neck comfortingly, while grinding her once more, “I will not make you show off to the ponies again...” He assured her.

“Thank you, Love.” Rose gave him a quick kiss, “Come on now, I want you to throb~” She growled alluringly and almost as if on command, her stallion’s rod throbbed hard and he gave her a more hungry kiss, causing her to growl deeply. “Now, Uzoma, I want you to close your eyes and imagine that I’m breeding you~”

Uzoma closed his eyes and lay his head back with a deep groan, allowing his mare to ride him as his flesh continued to throb. Rose moaned sweetly at the sensation of his hard cock twitching in her firm grip as she continued to gyrate upon his lap. Leaning down, she pressed her nose into the base of his jaw and started sensually chewing upon him, trying to coax him to even greater pleasure. Her stallion began to swell within her and arched his back with a deep groan; one of his hooves drifting up lazily to stroke her rump once more. Sensing his approaching climax, her sex only became wetter, pouring more of her hot juices over his length as she ground harder into his lap.

Uzoma hissed and his hips jerked softly beneath her, “Rose...I’m close.”

“I am too~” His mare groaned around her bite to his jaw. At her declaration, Uzoma threw back his head with a quiet whinny and his flared cock burst inside of her, filling her yet again. Rose’s own whinny was not so reserved, squealing her pleasure with a fierce nip to his neck, before nuzzling nose-to-nose with him. “Let go, Uzoma, give me everything~” She urged him with an affectionate coo, continuing to ungulate atop his rod, trying to milk him completely.

By the time he was finished, Uzoma had produced even more than his first load and fell limp beneath her with a soft groan, which she mirrored, relaxing atop him. Feeling both tired and full, Rose snuggled into his belly, softly kissing up his neck as she caught her breath.
