@lacedfavors ⌿ artemis & zara
the fan above her bed spins slowly on the lowest available option and artemis counts up to its eleventh spin when she senses her staccato breathing start to return to normal. letting out a deep sigh, her gaze leaves the ceiling fan as she turns off her back so she’s facing zara in the bed beside her. they’ve been quiet in the last few passing moments since their latest tryst ended, catching their breathes as they come down from euphoric highs and though artemis would never say it out loud in fear of being called soft, it’s with the dim light filtering through the blinds and illuminating sections of zara’s skin like an impressionist painting where artemis thinks she’s most beautiful. instead of voicing her thoughts, she swallows down the words and props herself up on her elbow so she’s looking down on the other with a coy smile. ❝ well that was a fun addition to my day. ❞ artemis speaks, breaking the silence while her fingertips ghost the exposed skin of zara’s shoulder down her arm and back up again. as a vampire, the cold is something she’s gotten accustomed to and notes more as a flippant observation, but the slight chill from her fan and the coolness of the silk sheets against her naked skin have her press closer against zara for warmth. ❝ who knew you had all that pent up frustration in you. not that i’m complaining of course. ❞ nimble fingers pause in their movements and artemis peers at zara through her eyelashes before dipping her head to press a kiss in the juncture connecting her shoulder and neck. ❝ have anything else up your sleeve today ?? ❞
