Kate smiled as she stretched out on Rick's new desk underneath him, both of them sweaty and sticky. "I love this apartment," she gasped, running her fingers through his hair.
He grinned, kissing her neck softly. "It has been good to us." They'd lived in their new home for a little more than an hour and had already christened the kitchen, living room, and just finished in his office, half way through their task to make love in every room in their new home on their first night there. Luckily, they'd had a crew move their furniture in earlier so they didn't tire themselves out arranging furniture. They knew how they'd want to spend their first night and it wasn't pushing around sofas and tables.
She did love this apartment, more than she loved her old one. Because this was theirs. The furniture, the decorations, everything had been picked out by both of them, together. She didn't have to think about how many women had laid in the bed next to him. And he didn't have to wonder who'd shared her bed before him. This bed was brand-new and theirs, only theirs. Everything else was in the past, where it belonged.
The master bedroom, their bed, would be the last stop on their "tour". Thankfully she'd talked him into downsizing. If and when they got to a point where they needed extra bedrooms, they could move into something bigger but this apartment only had one extra bedroom and no stairs to worry about.
She let out a small laugh against his shoulder as her finger ran along a scratch she'd left in his back while they were in the kitchen.
"What's funny?"
"Nothing. Just thinking about if I had let you talk me into that penthouse with the spiral staircase."
He lifted his head to look at her and smiled before kissing her. "Tonight would have been a bloodbath." He carefully slid off the desk and pulled her into a sitting position.
"Maybe we should skip the guest room." Her legs were a bit wobbly when she stood, so she hung against his shoulder so she'd remain standing.
"Why? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Just thinking… Alexis will be sleeping in that bed when she visits. Even if she doesn't know what happened, I would and the thought of my parents having sex in my bed…" He cut her off by kissing her. "What was that for?"
"You called yourself Alexis' parent."
"Well, I will be her step-mother soon, right?" she said, smiling down at the diamond ring on her finger.
He grinned widely and picked her up bridal style, kissing her again. "Soon."
"Put me down. We're not married yet."
He shrugged. "No reason to not practice."
AN: sorry this was so short. And that it sucked so bad. I've had a weird week…
