It is a sugarsweet ending because that is what they deserve. I do hope you have read it with pleasure! KEGAN 3 Thank you for all the reviews along the way!

The vinyl record moved swiftly underneath the needle that was careful enough not to leave a mark on its surface. The suave vocals blended in with the gloom coming down from the city lights that had shyly made their way into Kate's apartment. They had pushed the table aside to make room for their hips to sway. Kate had taken her heels off so that the two of them were at eyelevel, although the blonde barely dared to stare into the pretty greenness right in front of her. It had been ages since someone had dared her to dance. However, right here, right now, with her body safely pressed into Megan, Kate could not quite believe how she had managed to live through all these years without the little redhead by her side.

Without looking directly at her, Kate could still sense the smile radiating from Megan's features. The blonde allowed to let her eyes close, leaning into the strands of beautiful red hair that were covering Megan's fine shoulders; she inhaled deeply, getting lost in that sweet perfume that was solely Dr. Megan Hunt.

They had not said a word since their sweet confessions, but none of them had felt the need to; they had just let their bodies sway to the rhythm and let their movements do the talking for them. With Kate resting onto her shoulder, Megan softly pressed her lips against the blonde's forehead, her fingers trailing the outline of her strong jaw. "You are so beautiful," Megan tenderly whispered. "And so yours", Kate responded warmly, lifting her head a little so she could face the woman she was meant to be with.

Kate was not sure if her head was spinning from the up and close dancing or from the red lips that had soon found hers, but she had to steady herself on Megan in order to keep her balance. Her hands that were holding on tightly to the redhead's hips were travelling just a little lower, causing Megan to breathe just a little heavier.

Never one to lose control of the situation, Megan kissed Kate fiercely on the lips, causing the blonde to hold onto her even more strongly, since her knees had rapidly given up on her. "So, do I get to make you mine then?" Megan's pleading eyes were staring directly at Kate who was still too overcome with the sensations the redhead brought out in her to really form a coherent response to the pending question.

So Kate just nodded and led Megan to her bedroom.

Megan immediately positioned herself on the bed, looking expectantly at the blonde who was still standing in the doorway. "Come here," the redhead tilted her head aside a little whilst licking her lips. Kate walked over to where Megan was sitting and came to a halt in front of her. Megan looked up at the blonde, lifting her eyes seductively while her hands made way for Kate's hips, trying to pull the blonde closer.

Standing decisively in between Megan's legs, Kate lowered her body just enough 'till she was able to cup her cheek, eyeing the lips that were so hungry for her kisses. She let her finger trail down to Megan's bottom lip and caressed the contours of her mouth before kissing the redhead with all the love she had inside her.

Megan's arms enclosed around the blonde's waist, affectionately lifting Kate on top of her, lowering herself onto the bed. Kate let her hands travel down Megan's side, fiddling with the lower side of the dress in order to access the soft skin of her thighs. Their lips never losing touch, Kate's heart jumped a little every time her chest came into contact with Megan's heaving frame.

Eventually, Kate broke the kiss to replace the lingering fingers on Megan's thighs with her plump lips, eager to caress every part of the redhead by ways of planting soft kisses on every little freckle she encountered. While her hand was searching for Megan's, she could hear the redhead gasp for air with every tender mark she was leaving on her.

One hand intertwined with Kate, Megan let the other rest on Kate's back, as she was trying to tug the blonde closer, to feel her every move. "Oh!" Megan couldn't help but moan when Kate's lips rested on a particularly sensitive spot.

It was almost as if the sweet sounds from her lover made Kate come back from her high. She planted another kiss on Megan's thighs before pushing herself up, nuzzling her body next to Megan's, her head comfortably resting in the crook of the redhead's neck. "Hey," Megan whispered lovingly, her hand playing with the blonde locks that had fallen over Kate's beautiful features, "are you okay?"

"I almost lost you," Kate's voice trembled, "I almost lost you before I could tell you I love you", a pair of dark blue eyes was staring at Megan intensely. "I know," Megan softly spoke as she wrapped the blonde closer into her arms. "All I could think of was how I would never see the look on your face when I told you how much you mean to me.. I thought I was going to die alone, that I had missed my chance of happiness." Warm tears were dripping down Kate's cheeks as she let her heart do the talking.

"I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world," Megan mused, "knowing what it is like to be loved by you." She reached for Kate's face. "I love you so much, Kate Murphy!" The blonde shakily smiled against her lover's hand, "I love you too, Megan!" Kate swiftly wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Megan with a sheepish look on her face. "I'm a total crybaby, aren't I?"

"Well, you're my baby, so you're allowed to cry when you're with me," Megan soothed the blonde, "..as long as you'll let me make it all better," she added with a sweet grin. Kate smiled before leaning in for another kiss. "Soon, I promise, but for now.. can we just cuddle?"

Noticing that the vulnerability still hadn't left Kate's eyes, Megan instantly agreed, affectionately positioning herself on top of the blonde, kissing her way onto her nose. "Let's get ready for bed, okay?" Kate nodded in response.

Sweetly tucked in underneath the covers, Kate and Megan lay on their sides, staring each other lovingly in the eyes. Megan wrapped one arm around Kate, reassuring her girlfriend that they were going to make it last. "Forever?" Kate softheartedly asked. "Forever," Megan answered firmly. Knowing she had finally found her way into happiness, Kate closed her eyes, snuggling tightly into the woman beside her. Forever.

THE END.
