Blessed Moments (book 4)

Chapter 2: I love you

Dim yellow light flows from beneath the crack of our bedroom door. I smile gently as I push open the door and walk into our bedroom. This place has come far since Yugi and I first moved in. Every thing has its own special place and every inch of this house holding its own special memory. I walk over to our giant bed with a gentle smile plastered across my face as I take in the sight of what rests within the bed.
Yugi sleeps peacefully underneath the large plush covers. His eyes closed and his face absolutely serene as his hair is splayed out across the pristine white pillow case. I run a gentle hand through his hair, enjoying the soft caress of his hair on my skin and the gentle brush of his skin on mine.
   "Yami?" Yugi breathes his eyes still shut tight.
   "I'm here." I whisper as I lean down to plant gentle kisses on his temple and his cheek. "I'm here."
   "I'm sorry that I fell asleep." He yawns as his eyes slowly slide open. "What time is it?"
   "That's not important." I answer as I place a hand over the clock face. Yugi frowns at my action and stares at my hand expectantly. From the sheer intensity of his gaze it's almost as if he is attempting to lift my hand with his mind. "Why do you do this to yourself? It only upsets you."
   "I don't know." Yugi sighs as he averts his gaze from the clock and meets my eyes instead. A gentle smile spreads on his lips as he looks at me. "I'm so happy you're here."
   I raise an eyebrow in question, "Where would I be if not here?"
   "I don't know." Yugi says with a shrug, raising a hand to ghost over mine. "I'm just happy that you are the one I am sharing this part of my life with instead of someone else entirely." A hearty laugh escapes my lips, the sheer force of my laughter making my entire body tremble. "What's so funny?"
   "Nothing love..." I struggle to stifle my laughter but to no avail. "Nothing at all." I chuckle.
   "No tell me." He persists rolling onto his side so he can look at me with more ease. "What amuses you so much? What blunder did I make my pharaoh?" I glare at him playfully for the dramatic air he had put on the title but it quickly fades into a smile.
   "Just the fact that you believe that I would allow anyone else to share these moments with you...absolutely ridiculous."
   "Is it?" Yugi teases.
   "Completely." I grin as I rest my forehead against his. "I don't think I could ever allow anyone else to have you."
   "That's a tad selfish isn't it?" Yugi breathes out in a laugh.
   "In case you haven't noticed I am not the most selfless person that has ever lived." I meet his gaze head on. "Especially when it comes to sharing you with others."
   "Then it's a good thing that you don't have to share me." He grins holding up his hand adorned with his wedding ring. "I'm all yours."
   "Thank the gods." I murmur as I capture his lips with mine. A surprised squeak escapes Yugi but he relaxes quickly and wraps his arms around my neck pulling me closer. I slide a hand beneath Yugi's shirt feeling the soft skin that was hidden beneath his sky blue sleep shirt.
   I can feel Yugi grin through the kiss as he runs his fingers through my hair. Gods how I love his kiss. He has gotten to be so damn good at it. I used to credit myself for being a good kisser but Yugi lately has left me absolutely breathless and flustered once he's pulled away. Even now I find it hard to find my breath.
   "I love you." Yugi breathes as he pulls back, his hands cradling my face between his palms.
   "And I you."
   "Now what time is it?"
   "Yugi." I chuckle.
   "Come on please." He pleads. "It's going to drive me crazy if I don't know what time it is."
   "And it's going to drive me crazy if you don't kiss me right this second." I reply, my voice sultry and deep. Our lips press against one another with a bit more pressure than before. Before I even have a moment to think I am pushing Yugi down into the bed as I hover above him, my arms boxing his head in beneath me.
   /"You know you could have just asked nicely."/ Yugi scolds me lightheartedly through our link.
   /"shh Aibou."/ I slip my tongue past his lush lips tasting his sweet taste. /"Just let me kiss you."/ Yugi squirms beneath me as I touch all of the right places to make him flustered. His hips, his neck, his tongue. All of them are under my control.
   /"Yami..."/ Yugi sighs through the link. I pull back for a breath and take in the most beautiful sight ever beheld. Yugi's face is all red and his eyes are clouded over with lust. Absolutely gorgeous.
   "Yes?" I whisper into his ear, allowing my lips to capture his earlobe after a moment.
   "How did I get so lucky?"
   "That's my line." I murmur as I plant open mouth kisses on his neck making him gasp in surprise.
   "Yami I-"
   "I know," I whisper, pulling him into my arms. "I love you more than anything too."
   "Did you read my thoughts?"
   "No." I grin. "I didn't have to." Yugi smiles gently as he traces a gentle hand around the contours of my face.
   "Yami what-"
   "If you must know it's seven o'clock." I answer with a sigh.
   Yugi's frowns, "That's what I thought. So early."
   "We have two children. Two young, untiring children. It's to be expected." I say comfortingly as I flop onto the bed beside him. Our fingers intertwine as we look at one another.
   "I just feel like I'm neglecting you."
   "Neglecting me?" I ask curiously. "I don't consider what we were just doing as neglect."
   "You know what I'm talking about Yami." He says softly, his teeth gently chewing on his bottom lip in worry.
   "Don't worry little one." I whisper gently. "You can never neglect someone who belongs to you completely. Just being in your presence is enough."
   "But Yami-"
   "Shhhh just sleep now." I murmur into his hair as I pull him close. His body pressing perfectly into mine. Like a final puzzle piece clicking into position.
