More Than Love

Part 4

The night had finally gone silent as the reunited lovers laid asleep in their bed. Hours had passed since they'd left the pier and headed back to the house they'd once shared...

No more words were said. None were needed. They shut out the world as they shut the door and nothing else mattered but them…

They spent hours making love… tenderly getting lost in each other and finally feeling whole knowing this was where they belonged…

With arms wrapped tightly around each other, Alex and Marissa simply laid there, relishing the comfort and security they'd lacked for too long.

Marissa had fallen asleep a while ago. Her steady breathing filled the air as Alex remained wide awake, gently running her fingers up and down the girl's slender arm. She couldn't fall asleep. The feel of Marissa's naked body pressed against hers felt heavenly and she wanted to cherish it for as long as possible. She somehow feared this was a dream… that none of this was happening… that she was going to wake up in the morning on the couch and Marissa wouldn't be there…

A tear escaped her eye at the thought and fell on Marissa's shoulder, causing her to stir. Blue eyes met green and everything felt right again.

"I'm sorry" Alex whispered, "I didn't mean to wake you…"

Marissa remained silent as she gently caressed the blonde's cheek. "What's wrong?" she softly asked as she wiped the tears with her thumb.

"Nothing" Alex replied. She reached for Marissa's hand and brought it to her lips, "Nothing's wrong when you're here…"

Marissa smiled softly at this and gently pulled Alex on top of her. She brushed the blonde's hair back and raised herself just enough to tenderly touch her lips to Alex's.

A shaky breath escaped Alex when they broke the kiss. "I love you…" she whispered, "So much…"

Marissa smiled and kissed her again. She laid back down and pulled Alex to her, making the blonde rest her head on her chest. Alex in turn wrapped her arms protectively around her waist and Marissa placed a kiss on her head before running her fingers through her golden locks.

And as night gave way to the early morning, all was right with the world as Alex heard Marissa whispering, "I love you too… I always have and I always will…"

The End.
