Patch's POV
I wake up with Nora's soft curls tickling my face, her bare back pressed against my chest, warming me. I wrap my arms tighter around Nora, pulling her even closer to me and bury my face in her hair, breathing her in. Nothing makes me happier than waking up every morning with this beautiful angel by my side and falling asleep every night with her safely in my arms. Nothing brings me more comfort than the feel of her warm skin on mine, after all of the time spent craving her touch.
I start trailing a path of kisses from the base of her neck to the curve of her mouth, causing a soft moan to leave Nora's lips. I love the sounds she makes in the morning when I wake her up like this. I love knowing that she relishes my touch just as much as I relish hers.
"You make me happy, Angel. I love you so much." I tell her and she turns on my arms so that she's now facing me, a smile inching it's way on her face. Nora gently presses her palm against my cheek and whispers, "I love you". She leans in and gives me a kiss. "In what depends on me, I will continue to make you happy." She says, her voice still raspy from sleep, and with a soft giggle she adds, "That's my New Year's resolution."
"Mmmmph…" I murmur, teasingly trailing my hand up and down her naked back. She shivers as memories from last night assault us both. I plant a kiss on her forehead and, still grinning at the memory, say, "And what a great way of starting the new year it was."
