Ares awoke in the warm embrace of Lana. A warm enveloping flower that surrounded him within the safety of her loving nectar. He could smell the sweet nectar that had taken him last night. He brushed a hand along her side before he noticed that she had awoken before him.
"Good morning," Ares said.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"I slept great, thanks," Ares said as he went to rest his head in the crook of her neck. "What about you?"
"I slept great too," Lana said as she leaned in to kiss his neck.
Ares sighed as they remained together, enjoying each other's embrace for a moment. Ares ran his fingers down the side of her body, brushing his finger tips along her soft skin.
"How many times did you almost die?" Lana asked.
Ares let out a breath and shook his head. "Once or twice?"
"Why do I feel like you are lying?"
"You meant yesterday, right?"
"I meant the entire journey."
