Hold on to Me Love

Skittery slowly ran his fingers down the sleeping girl's soft back and smiled at even in her sleep her body reacted to his touch. He propped himself up on his elbow and slowly danced his fingers down her spine to where her back meets her hips, stopping to linger. He smiled thinking about the nights activities and bit his lip his eyes clouding over in thought.

She had laughed at the look on his face as she took off her shirt slowly. For once Skittery didn't mind being laughed at as he stared at her dumbly.

"You like?" She asked him with a playful shake of her hips but before she could be embarrassed by him saying anything she pounced on him, pushing him back on the bed kissing him deeply.

Skittery rolled them over hovering over her. He smiled down at her his hair hanging in front of his eyes and licked his lips looking like he wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words.

"Nervous?" She asked him softly her eyes for the first time since he met her uncertain. He snorted at her question and kissed her again, but hoped she couldn't feel the sweat forming on his palms.

"You better stop or you won't be able to walk right for selling," Bitter voice pulled him out of his daydream. He looked down at her and smiled realizing he had been kissing across her shoulder blades with his hand on her rear as he thought of her.

"Oh yeah?" he grinned, a rarity for the newsie except when he was with her, "You gonna work me over?" he asked.

"You won't be able to handle it," She smirked.

"Try me," He smirked his eyebrow twitching in a playful dare. He smirked as she pushed him on his back and kissed up his chest. "Bit? I know… I mean I know you hate mushy but…" he took a deep breath and faltered, but hoped to quickly cover himself not saying what he longed to say, "you're gorgeous," he said softly, screaming at himself the moment it was out.

"Well I-

"No." he interrupted. "No, that's not what I wanted to say," he said then looked away from her, a small blush developing over his cheeks. He looked back up at her and put his hand on her cheek. "I love you," he said softly. "And I'm not asking for you to say it back… I just- wanted you to know." He said softly.

Bitter looked down at him for a few moments before slowly smiling. "You mean that?" she asked then smiled wider when he nodded. She leaned down kissing him quickly. Not her normal hungry passionate kiss- but a soft loving kiss. "I love you too," she whispered then smiled when she felt him the same.

Skittery leaned over her kissing her a bit deeper his hand tangling itself in her hair as he shivered at her hands going up his back. Not being able to get enough of her he kissed down her neck his other hand going up her side.

"Tell me it's forever," Bitter said through a soft moan.

Skittery paused his kisses on her neck smiling, his lips barely touching her soft skin, then kissed up the rest of her neck to her ear before whispering. "Beyond forever,"
