She felt a little tense as she kissed Allison, and that bothered her. She didn't want any fear or discomfort between them, not in this warm, dark, safe place. There was no room for it here, she wouldn't let there be.

She was strong here, with Tris. Strong enough to push those shadows away.

So Allison kissed her back, cupping Tris's face as she shifted to stretch out a little more, covering her body with Allison's, warming her, sheltering her, protecting her as she broke the kiss to nuzzle and kiss a path along her jaw and neck. She felt bolder, braver as she shifted to curl a hand against her hip, just to let it rest there...to let her have a chance to push her away.

"I've got you." she whispered against Tris's skin, meaning it for the first time with no sense of fear. "I'll take care of you."
