She stood in the kitchen in front of him, in all her 5'3 might. Her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face.

She yelled at him for god only knows what, but he wasn't fazed by her loud screeches; he was used to it by now. This didn't resemble their first fight, he was no longer was he struck by the fear of possibly living a life without her; he knew she meant nothing by her rambling and incoherent yelling.

By this point in their relationship, he knew what to do to calm her down; he knew what to say, where to touch, where to tenderly kiss. All she needed was a little love and distraction to help her unwind today.

He understood that a hard week at work and school caused a build-up of tension within her, and she needed a release. He would allow her to yell at him, hurl empty threats of leaving him, curse at him, and on the very rare occasion that was only brought on by his jokes, hit him with the old broom that was used to sweep the floors.

He took a step closer to her; only a small step to close the distance, ensuring not to scare her, or send her flying into another round of accusations and threats, most of which included that death would be his only safe haven.

That accusation rolled off him like water off a ducks back; they both knew the truth; his safe haven was her, and only with her.

He had a plan in mind to help her unwind; the same plan as always. After she had thrown the last insult towards him, he would scoop her up in his arms and carry her to bed, to do with her as he wishes. As usual, this was her way of showing him how sorry she was and how much she loved him. There were no words to explain it, so instead, she would show him. He would then show her she was forgiven, and return the "I love you" by taking care of her in the bedroom through hours of bliss, filled with moans that would escape from the top of their lungs as he entered her. His body would pound into hers continuously, not giving into tiredness or lack of stamina. He would whisper words of love and lust; things that she would reprimand him for if it weren't for her being so enveloped in his touch.

After pondering over his plan for a few moments, he reached towards her and pulled her close. His hands travelled over the length of her body, feeling ever millimeter of her under the palms of his hands. He loved the way she felt under him, he knew her better than he knew himself. She let out a soft moan that caused him to tighten his grip. The way she said his name when she needed him most made him want her more; he collapsed on top of her, not willing to move to the bedroom just yet. He pulled her closer to him, every inch of their bodies touching as he kissed the valley of her body.

"Stop doing that…" she complained silently, almost moaning the words.

"Doing what?" he asked, his voice slightly muffled as his lips pressed against her exposed skin.

His head moved upwards, resting against her shoulder as he breathed in her sweet scent.

"Winning our fights by trying to take me to bed and having your wicked way with me." She huffed, but smirked ever so slightly"

"For once, just bring up a valid point….
…aside from sex!" she added.

"With you, I have no valid points during an argument." He chucked softly.

"Well, for future reference you should find some." She huffed at him, gently dragging her fingertips across his skull, loving the feeling of him that consumed her.

She wasn't mad at him at all; and they both knew that. Secretly, the both believed that the arguments were purposely started just so they could enjoy the passionate make-up sex that always followed post-argument.

"I wasn't even mad at you…" she laughed, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.

"I know, but would it make you feel better if I show you how sorry I am?" he asked with a smile overshadowing his voice as his hands began to travel across her body again.

She giggled as she nodded her head, letting his marvelous hands explore her body which sent her high enough to reach the clouds.
