They went on and on until finally the dance reached it's literal and metaphorical climax, the throes of orgasm rocking both their bodies a final time, Long hard and intoxicating in its pleasure.

Carter was exhausted and even Taki looked a bit worn out. At least he hadn't passed out this time. He Looked up at her face, her eyes glazed over in ecstasy as she gazed down at him, her usually somehow-perfect hair mussed-up.

“I love you."

It had come out spontaneously, and he loved how the words sounded on his lips, as well as how Taki's breath hitched when he said it.

Her passions clearly cooling, her blissful expression rapidly hardened.

Still, a peaceful, satisfied look briefly flashed in her eyes, accompanied by the smallest, most beautiful smile he had ever seen. No further words were needed.

Then, as if it were the most natural thing for her, she laid down next to him and rested her head in the crook of his neck, let out a short, pleasured sigh, and shut her eyes in sleep.

BACKGROUND

Note that to get a further idea of the setting you should imagine a fantasy medieval world, the kind you typically find in action role player games. However, widespread utilization of magic, especially in larger cities, means that in some ways they have become much more technologically advanced. Of course, most of that only applies to those who are rich enough to afford magical items or to hire the services of people skilled in the use of magic or technology. Magic has also influenced the development, and lack of development, of various technologies.

In particular small-scale weapons that use gunpowder are virtually nonexistent, the primitive forms available being simply too slow and cumbersome to use compared to magic-enhanced melee weapons, enchanted shields, special arrows that seek out their targets and defensive magical traps such as binding circles. Albeit Larger scale explosives like those used in cannons or dynamite are more common, existing as backup for magical defenses. Steam and even primitive gasoline-powered vehicles do exist but are rarely seen outside of large cities due to lack of suitable roads. There is also little incentive to improve this technology, it is regarded mainly as helpful for farming and as a novelty, not as all that useful for transportation.

Many of the countries in this world, and many of the towns and cities within them, are fairly isolated from each other by large areas of mostly unexplored wilderness, some inhabited by nomadic peoples or other mysterious natives, but most not home to any human population (if you don't count the male consorts of many mamono found there). With only a few, and sometimes no, trade routes connecting most countries to each other, flow of information and goods is usually limited and slow.

There is little incentive to change this because with access to magic-provided resources most governments are fairly self-sufficient.
