Moving Forward (Completed)

Chapter Ten

Katherine turned to find Rafael still sleeping next to her. At first, she thought she had woke up earlier than she had wanted, but a quick glance at her clock told her Rafael was late for work.

"Raf." She said softly as she nudged him, trying to gently pull him from his sleep.

"Uh hum..." He muttered, not bothering to open his eyes.

"Raf, wake up, it's nine thirty." Katherine nudged again.

Rafael rolled over so she couldn't see him smiling. "Ok." He replied, still sounding mostly asleep and not moving as though he were even trying to wake himself up.

"You're late for work." She stated, a little louder this time.

"No I'm not." He mumbled, though he sounded like he was trying not to laugh.

"You're not?" Katherine asked.

"I enjoyed the last personal day so much, I thought I'd take another." Rafael turned to face her and smiled.

"You could have told me last night." Katherine grumbled.

Rafael pulled her back to his arms, effectively pinning her beneath him. "But then I would have missed how sweetly your tried to wake me up."

"Uh huh, well you're up now and I need coffee and a shower."

"I'm still kind of curious if we'd both fit in your shower." He smirked.

Katherine smiled and shook her head. "There wont be much room to move and the water pressure isn't nearly as nice as yours."

"I'll manage." He smiled, dragging her out of bed behind him.

Once the water warmed, Katherine stepped into the shower Rafael following not far behind.

"See, the walls are so close you can't even turn." Katherine pointed out as the water poured between them.

Rafael grinned and lightly ran a finger between her legs. "Plenty of room."

Katherine rolled her eyes but spread her legs a little wider for him, wrapping her arms around his neck when he kissed her.

"Hold on to my neck, ok?" He breathed, moving both of his hands to the back of her thighs.

Katherine nodded, though she was still slightly caught off guard when he lifted her and lowered her onto him, her legs wrapping around his waist as he pinned her against the tile wall. Her hands gripped his shoulder and into his hair as he started to thrust.

"Fuck." She groaned as gravity sank him further into her.

"Te hubiera dicho que ya te amo si no pensara que te asustaría. (I'd have told you I love you already if I didn't think I'd scare you off.)" Rafael hummed against her ear, speaking fast enough that the te amo blended in with the rest of his statement, hopefully going unnoticed.

"Do you ever intend to tell me what you're saying?" Katherine panted, her head leaned back against the wall, her wet hair clinging to both her and the tile.

"One day." He grunted, thrusting faster into her.

"Fuck..." She breathed, her cheek mashed against his hair when her body jerked forward and arms gripped tighter on his neck. Katherine contracted around him, stimulating his own release, leaving them both panting, Rafael leaning against her and the wall, Katherine collapsed around his upper body, her head resting on his shoulder.

Carefully, he set her down so that she stood in front of him again.

"Now we just have to figure out how to actually shower." She chuckled.
