The mattress dips as they meet in the middle. They align without hurry, letting patience lead the pace. The headboard taps a soft beat and forgets to count. A final swell drifts into soft silence. Calm lingers on their skin while the room forgets the clock.
A small laugh fades when their foreheads touch on the pillow. They breathe together until timing clicks into place. Heat builds by degrees, gathering in the folds of the sheets. The bed remembers their weight and keeps the beat steady. They wrap the blanket higher and rest together.
A nod replaces words as they lean into the pillows. Hands learn the map they already know by heart. Pace rises, levels, and rises again. A final swell drifts into soft silence. Nothing moves but their breath, steady and kind.
Pillows rustle and the world narrows to shared breath. Touch becomes guidance, and guidance becomes motion. A shared cadence grows certain, simple and true. Warmth crests like tidewater and lays them back down. Calm lingers on their skin while the room forgets the clock.
The bedroom grows quiet as they draw close. Fingers trace calm paths along shoulders and hips. The duvet bunches and drifts as they find their flow. The rhythm tightens once, then opens into calm. They lie shoulder to shoulder, counting heartbeats.
Curtain light stretches across the bed and steadies the room. Touch becomes guidance, and guidance becomes motion. Everything else blurs while the mattress keeps time. Quiet gathers around the pillows like a promise kept. Peace settles over the bed and decides to stay.
The headboard waits while they decide together. A quiet rhythm arrives and feels inevitable. They follow the same unspoken cue toward the center. Warmth crests like tidewater and lays them back down. They wrap the blanket higher and rest together.
Pillows rustle and the world narrows to shared breath. They settle into a tempo that fits like memory. The room narrows to breath and heartbeat. They ride the last stretch with easy, certain focus. The air tastes softer, and so do their smiles.
