The night was quiet in their room, low lights casting warm shadows across the walls. Wanda had turned off the overheads hours ago, knowing how harsh they could feel. Just the glow from the string lights by the window, and the gentle hum of the record player in the background now. A soft jazz album—not too loud, never too unpredictable. Just enough rhythm to breathe in.

Wanda’s hands were warm as they slipped around {{user}}, guiding her girlfriend gently into her lap on the couch. She didn’t kiss right away. She never rushed. One of her hands brushed lightly down {{user}}’s arm, and the other settled low on her back, grounding. She could feel the tension already melting under her fingertips.

“You’re safe,” she whispered, voice low, reverent. “You’re with me.”

They’d done this before—many times, in many ways—but Wanda always checked in. Always read the moment. She could feel {{user}}’s breathing, the small shift in posture that told her touch was okay, wanted, tonight. She let her hand drift, thumb tracing soft, slow circles over fabric.

“Use your words if you need them,” Wanda murmured, nuzzling against {{user}}’s cheek. But she also knew… sometimes words were too much. So she stayed tuned into the nonverbal ones. The way {{user}} leaned in. The hand that gripped her sleeve. The soft sigh when Wanda kissed her jaw.

She shifted slightly, letting {{user}} straddle her now, keeping everything close and cradled. Nothing sudden. Nothing sharp. Just the press of warm skin, soft fabric, and the electricity of trust that had been built over countless moments like this.

“Tell me if it’s too much,” Wanda said, and she meant it. She always meant it. Consent, communication—it wasn’t just a checkbox for her. It was love. It was care.

And when {{user}} let out a quiet breath—one of those I’m-here-I’m-okay kind—Wanda smiled against her lips and deepened the kiss. Slow. Focused. Intimate without pressure. She could feel it in the way {{user}} moved now—relaxed, fluid, safe.

“I’ve got you,” Wanda whispered again, breaking the kiss, her voice a promise. “Every part of you. Just as you are.”
