It’s not the answer I want, but it’s enough. “And I with you.”

“And for that, I’m the luckiest man alive.”

He places his hand over mine, circling my clit in just the right way and as he thrusts deep, I come with a loud, sated moan.

“Fucking beautiful,” Punky grunts before I feel him join me in this pure bliss.

Our bodies are sweaty and warm, and I bask in the afterglow because I feel so content being united this way. Punky kisses my shoulder before pulling out. The moment he does, my body grows lax, and I fall onto my stomach, placing the pillow under my head.

I hear him moving about, but I don’t know where he’s gone until I feel a warmth at my backside. Turning over my shoulder, I smile when I see Punky gently cleaning me.

“I hope I wasn’t too rough with ya.” He uses another washcloth to wipe my face clean. Most of his face paint has smudged off, but he still looks like a beautiful mess.

“No,” I reply, suddenly exhausted. “I did ask for you to lose control. You were quite tame.”

He smirks, wiping his face clean, before tossing the washcloth into the laundry hamper and joins me on the bed. He drags me into his arms so we’re nose to nose.

A lifetime ago, I would have felt self-conscious being nestled this way. I would have been afraid Punky could see straight through me and see my flaws. But not now. This confirms how far we’ve come. The thought that it might be ripped away tomorrow has tears welling.

“No tears,” he whispers, wiping a tear away with his thumb. “I couldn’t bear it.”

I know he’s asking me to be strong tomorrow because he can’t do what he must without a clear head.

Quickly pulling it together, I smile, but it’s strained. “No tears. I promise.”

He nods, gently pressing a kiss to my brow.

Moments later, his soft breathing indicates he is asleep. Pressing my ear to his chest, I listen to the steady rhythm of his heart. The sound comforts me, and if possible, I snuggle closer to him, never wanting to let go.

But come tomorrow, I won’t have a choice. To save the world as we know it, I have to sacrificemyworld.

Even though I promised Punky no tears, a single one trickles down my cheek and I hope it’s the last one I’ll shed for a long time.

I hope.
