Panting heavily, they collapse together onto the bed, tangled limbs and sweaty skin testament to the passion that has just consumed them. Their hearts race in unison, their breath mingling as they try to catch their breath. For what seems like an eternity, they lie there, content in the knowledge that they have finally found each other. That nothing can ever tear them apart again.

"I love you," she whispers against his chest. It's not enough, she knows, but it's all she can say right now. He deserves so much more than words.

She wraps her arms around him, burying her face in the crook of his neck, savoring the warmth and strength that radiates from his skin. As their bodies begin to cool, she realizes that perhaps this is where they belong. In each other's arms, forever.
