Blake's pov:

It hasn't even been a full day and we both end up dozing off. It's been such a long while since the last time, but when I open my eyes, I see Kate's head on top of my chest. In fact, her entire body is on top of mine as I pull my arms around her and kiss the top of her head. I sense her move slightly before opening her eyes and facing me. She rests puts her chin on my chest, I sense the breath hit my skin before she moves closer and we share a kiss on the lips.

She places her head on my shoulder, snuggling as close to my neck as possible as I move my hand up on top of her shoulder. It doesn't matter where or how I hold her, her skin will always be the same, soft and glistening. There's only one way I can imagine it: perfect. After a while, she rests her hand on top of my chest and I grab it, allowing our fingers to just play with each other before they intertwine in the gentle ray of sunlight that enters the room.

- So, I can get used to this again...

I let out after a while. I sense her chuckle weakly as she pulls my hand towards her and kisses my fingertips.

- That makes two of us...

She answers as she slides off me slightly and sits up. I can see something change slightly in her mood. I sit up next to her as pull her lips towards mine and they meet.

- I don't want anything to come between us again, Blake...

She lets out slightly worried as I smile weakly and place my hand on her cheek.

- Love, I promise you: nothing will ever come between us. If it ever does, I'm gonna break down whatever walls I need to break to get to you, okay? From now on, we'll face things together like we did four years ago.

I remind her. Despite of all the crap that we're thrown at us back then, we held each other's hands through all of it and supported each other. We didn't even know each other half as well as we do now. Losing a daughter nearly broke us. There were moments when I didn't know what was going to happen to us, but now I do.

- I think we've learned our lesson...

She answers bravely before she wraps the covers around herself and makes her way towards the bathroom, leaving cold and me completely exposed... on the bed.

- Sure, don't mind me, I'm just gonna sit here naked in the cold...

I let out before she turns around with a playful glimpse in her face and my heart immediately skips a beat at the sight of it.

- Well, if you need to regain some heat...

She doesn't even finish the sentence before I'm almost right in front of her, attacking her lips and lifting her up as she drops the covers and wraps her legs around my hips. Our skin-to-skin contact just causes fire between us as I walk us both carefully over to the sink and I sit her down as we break off for a second.

- Are we catching up for lost time?

I ask her teasingly while raising an eyebrow. Before she can even answer, I kiss her jawline before travelling down her neck and find the mark before sucking on it. I push her slightly against the mirror behind her as her nails dig into my skin by my shoulders, turning me on even more...

- You could say that...

She whispers sensually against my ear before kissing my temple. I travel back up to her lips and we're really just about to take it further when I hear a knock on the door.

- Great...

I grunt as I'm about to put a towel around my hips when Kate holds my arm back and I find myself back into her arms.
