Her fingers traced soft circles around his back. With his face buried in the crimson pillowcase, she didn’t see the grin starting to form on his features. And she didn’t need to; she knew he loved this. The fingers ceased on their own accord and her lips met his shoulder in a soft peck.

“Why’d you stop?” He whined against the pillow, bringing a soft smile to the lips still pressed against his shoulder blade.

“If it pleases you,” Her fingers started their slow trek across the pale stretch of skin again.

“You know it does.” He grunted hoarsely as she came to the base of his spine and started back up to his neck. He finally opened his eyes to see the woman next to him. Her strawberry blonde hair was mussed around that round face with those chubby cheeks he loved so much. Her blue eyes gleamed brightly as they fell on the love of her life. He rolled onto his back and took her in his arms, kissing her temple.

“So what do you want to do on your day off?” She asked, looking up at him. His hand rubbed her hair absentmindedly as he thought. It occurred to him that there was nothing he wanted more than to lie in bed with her, and when he said this, she tsked.

“Tom, we can’t stay in bed all day!” Her head lifted off his chest in dismay and he chuckled.

“And why not?” As she watched those smooth lips fall into that smile, the one he said was for only her, she couldn’t think of a good reason as to why they couldn’t stay in her small apartment for the rest of forever. In fact, for the life of her, she couldn’t think of anything but kissing those lips. “You alright, love?”

She shook her head with a smile and muttered, “No, no, I’m not alright.” To his questioning gaze, she kissed those lips and, just centimeters away from his face, said, “I’m in love.”

“What a terrible ordeal.” He muttered, sounding as breathless as she felt.

“Terrible indeed.” She smirked despite the butterflies forming at the touch of his wandering hands and kissed the side of that prominent jawline. She continued leaving small kisses and suckles down his neck until he cried out and his hands convulsed at the base of her back. She smirked and bit softly at the skin as he moaned. “Do you love me too?”

“Yes, my darling Kylie, I love you too.”
