Epilogue - Daniel

Triggerwarning: The epilogue is not safe for work

Daniel had his fingers entwined with hers and once in a while he squeezed her gently to remind himself that he was real, that she was real, that this was real. He had lost the ability to disappear. He had probably also lost the need to stay within her reach. But he had not wanted to test that one yet. He had not wanted to be that far away that he couldn't touch her anymore. He had not wanted to let her go anymore.

"Can you open the hotelroom, please?" Melody leaned on her crutch and she had her eyes half-closed. Even though she had just had dinner and it was barely seven pm the exhausting day had clearly taken it's toll.

"Yes, I can." He took the keys from her and he nodded once more at Max who disappeared in the room next to them. He would have to find a way to thank Max, to give him something back, to return the favour, if that was even possible. He clicked the lock open and he didn't let Melody's hand go while they walked in. With his foot he closed the door behind them again and once more he realised that Melody was his now.
She was officially his. "What are you looking at?" Melody cocked her head and she walked backwards towards the edge of the bed to sit down.

"I'm looking at you and I'm wondering..." Daniel hesitated. "I still can't believe that it worked out, that we can be together forever."

Melody smiled, but she locked her gaze with his and after she hid the crutch under the bed she grabbed both his hands and pulled him between her legs. "How horrible was it?" Melody kept on staring at him and Daniel swallowed.

"Dying?" He could barely say the word, but Melody grinned and shook her head.

"No, having to watch me and Max?" Her cheeks heated up and Daniel felt his own cheeks glowing too. "How bad was it?"

"It was the most horrible thing I've ever experienced, including the experience of today." He bent his head and avoided her glance, but Melody shove towards the headboard and pulled him on top of her.

"Then what are you waiting for?" She opened the buttons of his shirt and folded it open. While she placed her hands on his naked chest, Daniel felt a familiar shiver rolling down his spine and he could feel his entire body reacting already.

"I hope you know I didn't do this only so I could have sex with you." He pressed a kiss in her neck and he reluctantly placed a hand on her exposed belly.

"I think performing an entire ritual only for sex might be a little extreme, even for you." Melody helped Daniel to take his shirt off and she let her hands slip into the jeans that was becoming less comfortable by the second.

"You've been with Max for so long and if you want to wait, I understand..." Daniel couldn't finish his sentence and he closed his eyes when Melody shove her hands into the back of the boxershort he was wearing. Her hands on his naked skin made the jeans all of a sudden extremely painful and he swallowed a few times before he could open his eyes again. "I haven't seen you being this mean and straightforward with Max, young lady."

Melody grinned and she pulled her hands back so she could lift her own shirt up. "He has never been hesitating." She threw her shirt on the floor and then she pushed herself up so she could press a soft kiss on his lips.

"I'm not hesitating. I'm being a gentleman." Daniel protested, but Melody was already taking off her skirt so she was wearing nothing but her bra and briefs.

"It's not very gentleman like to keep a girl waiting for something she desperately wants." She laid down again and she grabbed Daniel's shoulders to pull him on top of her. "Or do you think you've been the only one fantasising about this very moment?" She placed her hands on his chest and moved them lower and lower until she could unbutton his jeans.
