Emotional Intimacy

As he laid beside his slumbering soulmate, his fingers found purchase in her thick textured curls. Her lovely features finally relaxed as her ear connected to his heartbeat. Just that one gesture had her completely limp within less than a minute a fact that surprised and delighted them both immensely.

He cradled her protectively in his arms desiring nothing more than to stay this way for as long as time would allow. Over 1,000 years he has waited for her, and he would have gladly waited far more. Yet even he had felt the effects of a dissatisfied, incomplete Bond after so many centuries.

There had also been days where he could hardly move out of bed when soul-crushing agony and depression wracked his very being. Loki feared that if it had continued that he would surely lose his mind completely without finding and bonding with his sváss.
