His fingers danced on the small of my back, ever so gently. Slowly, I move to prop myself up to look at him. He does not move to look at me, but he is awake, a small smile on his face. I wonder if he's been up for a while. Or, If he got any sleep last night, after I had drifted back to sleep.

"Good morning." I said quietly.

He gave me a light squeeze, but did not say anything. We laid there for a little bit, just taking this time in. He'll have to go in soon. I'll be alone for most of the day. It'll be interesting to see how things run today without me. I'm not essential, but Bohan will have to take the lead. I'm sure I'll have to meet with him and go over the goals for the week. There is no time to worry about that now. I just want to be able to soak in this time with Volodymyr as much as I can.

Slowly, I stretch upwards, allow my hand to find his cheek, and kiss him. It's lazy. Slowly we move to align our bodies in a way that we can easily kiss, without either of us straining. Both his hands rest on my hips. It stays just as relaxed, both of us always willing to do more. My left hand snakes down his body like last night, but there is nothing there to stop me this time.

His member was already hardening, without the extra help, but he lets out a welcoming moan when my hand meets it. His right hand travels up my side, to allow for his fingers to intertwine with the hair reaching my shoulder. pulling me in deeper.

When suddenly, his alarm goes off without any warning. Which, unfortunately, brings us back to reality. I let out a frustrated sigh at this, as he stops kissing me and untangles his fingers from my hair so he can lean over and turn off the alarm.

"I need to head back to the office." He says, after quieting the alarm.

"Okay." I reply quietly.

"But, you should join me in the shower." There was a playful, naughty, smirk on his face. I like the way he thinks.

"Okay." I agree, but I would rather not get out of bed.

Even though I'd rather stay in bed all day, I've suddenly become aware of the mess we made last night. I allow him to get up first. He's the one that has to get to work, after all. His look over his shoulder to see where I was was my que to get out of bed.

I go through my bag and grab what I had packed for the one night stay I thought I'd be having, at the least. I'll have to go grab more today. As I turn to grab the discarded clothes from last night to at least have something on for the walk to the shower, there he is holding out a robe.

It's white and still fluffy compared to his. "You should wear this." He holds it out to me.

"Thanks." I say, taking it out of his hand. It's soft and seems almost brand new.

When I put it on I notice the coat of arms over my right side. It's soft to the touch. Once fully covered I looked up to see him, trying to hide the small smile that was growing on his face.

The fact that there were two and this one seemed to be new, must mean this was meant for his First Lady. I'm happy to be able to be by his side during this time, because I could not imagine going through all of this alone. Even if this might not be the easiest of ways to explore this new stage in our relationship, at least he has me to turn to in times of stress and grief. We'll figure out the work and relationship balance. He'll tell me what I need to know. I'll try not to worry too much.

To make this work without anyone noticing, we'll have to enter the bathroom at different times. Hopefully most people are already up and about for the day. But if not, they may not notice that we'll be going into the same one. Can't make it too obvious. Before leaving the comfort of his room, I give him a soft but teasing kiss.
