Ajax’s breath staggers as you kiss his eyelids. There’s always been something so intimate about that place. As a trained soldier, he can survive underwater for a good few minutes at a time, but just one kiss from you and he’s absolutely breathless. He can run for miles on end and still keep his breath steady, yet the thought of you in harm causes his throat to close up and his heartbeat to quicken.

He scoops you up in his arms, kissing your nose and forehead with so much love and affection that it’s hard to believe he’s a cold-hearted warrior. “I love you so much.” He says, peppering you with kisses.
