Immortality (Sequel to Apprentice)

Chapter 22: It was a long night

Note: So...in the last chapter we saw Ridge and Tia get reunited! FINALLY! But that isn't the end! We've got so much more to do...

Tia's POV

It felt incredibly amazing to wake up in the morning with Ridge next to me. I stretch my hand out without thinking and trace the bruises on his chest. I didn't want to think about all the torture he must have been through-at least he wasn't insane. Snuggling in close, I nestle my head into his neck, inhaling. It felt good to see him, to smell him, to touch him. I had to keep reminding myself that he really was here and this wasn't a dream.

It was raining outside, but it didn't dampen my spirits. I sat up a little, leaning my head on his. He stirred, automatically going to wrap his arms around me, holding me close. His eyes flicker open and I smile-I'd missed those. "Morning" I whisper, kissing him on his forehead. He smiled back, stroking the back of my neck with his hand. "Good morning to you too" he whispers, pressing his lips to my neck. I tangle my hands in his hair, and sigh in content, leaning my head on his.

"You have no idea how good it feels to wake up in a proper bed for once" he sighs and I scowl, knowing he can't see me. "Oh, so not waking up next to me then?" I say with a slight giggle. "You come close second" he admits, looking up with a wink. Rolling my eyes, I use my hand to tilt his head up, kissing him softly. 

"What time is it?" he mumbles against my mouth and I sigh. Moment ruined, I think to myself, before turning round to glance at the clock. "10. Got two hours before I have to go to Mexxy" I sigh, laughing quietly as his arms wrap around my waist, nuzzling my neck. "I love you, you know" he smiles. "I hope so" I muse, before adding, "I love you too."

"We should get dressed" I yawn, trying to sit up, but Ridge holds me down. "Get off" I grumble, but laugh as he pins me up against his chest. "We have plenty of time to do other things" he murmurs, his lips so close to my ear I shiver. I squeak as he nips me sharply on the neck, and he chuckles.

We had plenty of time...

Note: Yay! Finally some Tidgedog! Now, just for Liam, some Miam!

Liam's POV

I sigh in content. My head was resting on Mitch's chest and I smile. It had been too long. I'd missed everything about him, his hair, his eyes, his voice...

Everything.

He yawns, alerting me he was awake, before shifting violently. I laugh quietly, holding onto him as he turns round and pins me beneath him. "Morning!" I grin, and he groans, rubbing his eyes. When he opens them, he smiles when he sees me underneath him. "How did you get there?" he chuckles and I shrug tiredly. He snuggles close to me, and for a while we just cuddle, listening to the rain pelting outside.

"What's gonna happen to Jerome?" I ask after a while. Mitch sighs as the silence is broken, and rolls over, still clasping my arms tight to his chest. "I don't know. He's probably going to stay up there. There's no way he's ruling over us" he huffs. I nod in agreement, and he sighs again, suddenly pulling my head towards him and kissing me. I smile against his mouth, locking my hands in his hair, pulling his head impossibly closer. 

After a while of kissing, we break apart, panting. I laugh breathlessly, and he grins, cradling me close. "My Liam" he sighs, running his hands through my hair.

"My Mitch. No one elses" I reply, kissing him gently on his chest and snuggling closer.

Note: You happy Liam? YOU HAPPY?! :P 

Robin's POV

I yawn loudly, stretching, but jump when my hand hits something. A chest. I sit up quickly, wrapping my sheets around my bare body. Remembering what happened last night, I glance down at Deamon, who's eyes flicker open and widen as he sees me and also realizes.
