In Charleston, South Carolina

[wheelsy_sheriff]

["I'm exhausted in a good way for once."]



The room is bright even with the curtains drawn when Bill cracks his eyes open.

He smiles to find Kate in his arm, her back pressed against his chest, her arm over his around her waist.

Tightening his hold on her, he pulls her closer and presses a kiss into her hair.

Breakfast will be ready soon (if they haven't missed it already), but this is a good way to be waking up, and he wants to enjoy it a bit.

Her grin makes his smile wider.

"Oh we can, huh?"

His hands both slide down to rest on her waist.

"How's that?"

"I can think of a few ways," she says, dragging her mouth to the side of his neck, "right off the top of my head."

Her tongue flickers over his pulse-point.

"Still want that shower?"

His Adam's apple bobs and he holds her tighter.

"You know I love your ideas."

[justdidntseeit]

She breathes a laugh, low and promising, near his ear.

Her hands wander over his exposed skin, and she begins making good on the first of several of those ideas Bill enjoys so much.
