One more thing...

[Riven]

"Anytime love..", he replies with a small smile, gently kissing her cheek.

 

[No More Pretending]

She kissed his cheek, smiling. "Love you, darling."

 

[Riven]

He laughs softly, "I love you too babe.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She moved closer, wrapping her arms around him.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he kept his arms around her tightly, not wanting to move an inch.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and hummed quietly.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he listened to her, struggling to keep his eyes open. "You make it hard for me to stay awake love...", he replied in a whisper and a slur.

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled. "Oh. I can find ways to keep you up if that's what you'd prefer," she purred suggestively.

 

[Riven]

He smirked a bit and gently kissed her cheek, softly stroking his hands through her hair. "I'm up for whatever you throw at me...", he replied in a low whisper.

 

[No More Pretending]

She moved up and kissed him affectionately.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he gently returned the deepened kiss, holding an arm around her waist and the other behind the back of her head, gently feeling her hair.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and laced her fingers through his hair.

 

[Riven]

He slowly pulled away from the kiss, smiling as he gently nuzzled her nose with his, keeping their foreheads together.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he let out a small yawn, "You wouldn't mind if I closed my eyes for a bit would ya?..."

 

[No More Pretending]

"Not at all, my love," she purred.

 

[Riven]

He nodded as he wiped his eyes a bit and laid his head beside hers. "Then goodnight sweetheart...", he replied in a low whisper as he slowly closed his eyes, keeping his arms around her as he finally surrendered to the peace of sleep.

 

[No More Pretending]

She fell into a peaceful sleep, resting silently until morning.

 

[Riven]

Aiden woke up slowly in the peak of morning as he reached for his head with his hands, groaning softly as he felt his temples.

 

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth was sleeping soundly. She clung loosely to Aiden, noiselessly dosing.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he felt her hands, chuckling softly until he groaned again, massaging his temples gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She woke up. "Ugh...today's a work day..." She muttered. "I'm seriously thinking of quitting..."

 

[Riven]

"You're telling me.. agh... I think I'm getting a migraine...", he replied as he continued to groan and held his head, wincing a bit.

 

[No More Pretending]

She sighed. "Need some aspirin, baby?" She asked, rubbing his shoulder gently.

 

[Riven]

He let out a small sigh of relief, "That would be nice if you can love..." He continued to wince as he felt his temples, beating his head mercilessly.
