He had everything ready for her.
The chocolate covered strawberries, the ice bucket with chilled champagne and Pinot Noir- his favorite and he knew Kahlan loved champagne. He started a roaring fire, set the strawberries on the floor- as well as the drinks.
He rushed to the window and a giant smile rushed to his face. He fled to his dresser and ravaged his favorite pair of cotton navy blue jeans, black cotton socks, a black cotton tank top and last but not least- put his hair in a man bun and groomed his slight beard.
He left the room, closed their bedroom door and leaned against the left side of a doorway, with his ankles crossed and right hand halfway in his pocket.
She came through the door, set her purse on the black leather couch and said,
"Hey, what are you doing lookin' like that?"
She walked to him, put her arms around his neck and he put his hands on her waist.
"Lookin' so sexy and all...," she greedily kissed his lips- LOVING the hair around his mouth.
He said,
"I thought I'd surprise ya darlin'."
She looked at him in question and said,
"Surprise?"
He winked with just the perfect amount of a flirty smirk playing in his gorgeous hazel eyes. He led her to their bedroom and she gently gasped.
"Oh Kili! You did this for me? Seriously, why?"
He said,
"Because I love you and I wanted to surprise you," he hand her, her champagne,
"I thought you'd like champagne more than Pinot Noir- BUT hold on," he took one strawberry and plopped it in her drink.
She sipped it,
"Ah, baby you sure know what I like."
They laid on their sides by the fire, wine and champagne and strawberries between them.
"How was your day at work, darlin'?"
She swallowed a strawberry and said,
"My day was okay, but it's a lot better now...I don't know how I deserve this- deserve you."
He said,
"It's me who doesn't deserve you, my love," he cupped the area between her neck and the back of her jaw, brought his face close and gently pecked her bottom lip.
She lightly shivered and he said in a husky voice,
"The best part of my day is when I kiss you...to taste your tempting plump lips, look into your enchanting blue eyes...," he said this with his lips slightly on her lips,
"I could start fires with what I feel for you...I want to be the one to know these lips, these arms, these shoulders...I have never loved you anymore than I do, right this second, he looked in her eyes and said,
"And I'll never love you any less than I do, this very second...Kahlan...," she looked into his eyes and knew she was drunk with love for him, for this moment.
She lightly caressed his neck and just slightly bit his plump bottom lip.
She whispered in his ear, her teeth softly grazing his ear,
"Just kiss me will you?"
He shivered as she looked into his eyes again.
They passionately kissed in the light of the fire- the fire they lit for one another...
