“I think… I should be fine,” Amber murmured shakily, closing her eyes at his touch and kisses. “But I’ll make sure to let you know…”
Amber breathed heavily as William sank to the bed beside her. She opened her eyes to look over at him, moving closer to curl up against him.
“Will… Oh my gosh,” she mumbled, closing her eyes again.
William let out a chuckle, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. He pulled the covers over them, breathing heavily, heart hammering wildly in his chest. He breathed her in.
“Well,” he rasped out hoarsely. “We should do this again.”
Amber hummed, letting out a shaky breath. “I thought that was a given. I’m sure we’ll be doing this a lot more.”
“Definitely,” Willam kissed her cheek, “I love the little sounds you make. Music to my ears.”
“Oh, hush. You make some pretty lovely sounds, too, you know,” Amber muttered, poking him in the chest.
William chuckled tiredly. “It isn’t even afternoon and we’ve already exhausted ourselves.”
Amber smiled, pressing her face to his chest. She nuzzled him gently, then pressed a soft kiss to the skin. “Completely worth it,” she breathed. “Wouldn’t you agree?”
William nodded, running his fingers through her hair. “Listen… I don’t want this to be a completely sexual relationship,” he caressed her back with his free hand, “We’ll definitely be doing this often, but I want you to know that I love you regardless of what we do together.”
Amber blinked and pulled back to look at him, her brows furrowing. “Of course… I didn’t ever think it would be. You didn’t— You don’t think that’s why I’m with you now, right?” she whispered.
“No!” William’s eyes widened in horror. How could she ever think that? “No. God, no. That’s not why I said that. I just wanted you to know that I love you no matter what. That even if you don’t feel like doing it, I’ll still love you. And when you feel like doing it, I’ll worship every part of you. Okay?”
Amber closed her eyes and let out a slow breath. “Good, good… Thank you, William. I love you, too, so much…”
William pulled her on top of him, tangling their legs together. “We need to put your clothes in the dryer,” he muttered. “But then I’ll need to leave your warmth and we can’t have that.”
Amber opened her eyes and smiled down at him softly. Leaning down, she pecked his lips before pressing their noses together.
“Bummer… We’ll just have to stay here then, hm?” she chuckled.
William caressed her cheek, kissing her on the lips. He could never get tired of doing that. Never. “But then your clothes might start to stink,” William scrunched his nose. “I’d hate for you to wear them.”
“True, true… Well, then… What should we do?” Amber asked softly, yawning before resting her chin on his chest.
William traced circles on her lower back. “Perhaps we should go out?” He offered. “Get some of your clothes in my apartment. At least you’ll have them here, right?”
Amber hummed her agreement, letting out a soft sigh. “Yeah, we should definitely do that… Or one of us could move out things to the other’s place… Whichever works.”
William played with her hair using his free hand. The one on her back mischievously dipped a little lower, just to get a reaction out of her. “Well, do you want to part ways with your apartment?”
Amber raised her eyebrows at William, knowing what he was trying to do. She reached back and moved his hand farther up her back again. “Troublemaker. I’m not sure if I could part with it right now… Give me some time to think about it.”
William laughed at her reaction, tapping on the spot she left his hand. Would it tickle, he wondered. “I could move in,” he nudged her cheek with his nose. “I don’t have any problems with it.”
“I definitely would not mind that at all,” Amber hummed, pressing a kiss to his cheek. She squirmed a little under his touch, narrowing her eyes when she realized what he was trying to do.
William grinned when he felt her squirm and he pressed his finger harder in her side, wiggling it around a little. “That’s good. I’ll move in next week, then.”
“Stop that,” Amber hissed, shifting against him. “If you insist on tickling me, I may just get up and leave you here.”
William immediately stopped and instead wrapped his arms around her. “Would you, though? You’d miss me.”
Amber chuckled softly. “I would do it, but I would miss you. You got lucky this time, love.”
