Chapter 47 - Our Town

The rain poured down against the window, thunder cracking loudly outside. It amazed me that Stella slept through the vicious storm raging outside. She always slept through the most amazing lightning storms, a part of me found it beyond incredible. That the war raged on beyond her window and she somehow looked in absolute peace.

I looked back beside me, seeing my girl fast asleep beside me, the blankets only just covering her feet. A lazy smile crossed my lips as my eyes trailed up and down Stella's naked body, her hair cascading down her shoulders. Her arse was perfectly shaped, looking better than ever in the early hours of the morning. And her thick thighs were just so... God, she drove me insane.

She'd decided last night, that she wanted to sleep naked. I didn't protest, I was happy she felt comfortable enough to be naked around me. She knows I find her absolutely breathtaking, and her doing this only reaffirmed that thought for me.

I sat up, rolling onto my side and resting my head in my hand. Her eyes were shut, mouth slightly parted as soft snores left them.

I couldn't stop myself. I ran my fingers down the arch of her back, following every curve, mesmerised by how breathtaking she truly was. Following down to her bum, I gently pressed my palm flat against her, before moving my hand back up to her shoulder.

That was when her eyes slowly opened, tired blue orbs peering up at me.

I smiled, running my fingers down her back again.

"Good morning."

She only slightly nodded in response, eyes closing again. Stella shifted onto her side, suddenly exposing the rest of her to me. She was far too sleepy to realise how sexy she looked, and it baffled me. How could someone ever be this beautiful without knowing.

I leant in, moving closer so our faces were inches apart. She let out a long breath, eyes still closed. I leaned in, kissing the tip of her nose. Stella's eyes opened again, an adorable smile crossing her dry lips.

"Stop being clingy, I'm too tired." She croaked out in an exhausted morning voice. I groaned.

"I'll never stop being clingy, you're too beautiful."

She huffed out a laugh. I smiled, satisfied I'd made her laugh already, this early in the morning.

"Loooove me!" I laughed, leaning in and nuzzling my face between her boobs. "You look so good this morning!"

Stella let out another laugh, trying to pull away from me. I pulled away, sitting up and moving over her. My legs straddled her waist as I looked down at her beautiful features above me.

"What's got you in such a good mood." She mumbled, letting out a tired yawn. I trailed my fingers across her collarbone, softly laughing to myself.

"What, I can't be in a good mood in the morning?"

"No it's just..." She trailed off, taking my hands in hers. She entwined our fingers, before looking up at me. "I've never seen you this way before."

"What way?" I asked, tilting my head slightly. She shrugged in response.

"I don't know, Cal. You just seem different." She softly laughed, tugging me down for a kiss. I smiled, pressing my lips against hers. Stella placed her hand on the back of my neck, slowly moving her lips against mine. I held her, my hands on her bare body as she warmly welcomed me.
