So I saw that so many people absolutely love 'Partners in the Truest Sense' and I decided that I wanted to do something for Kyle and Sunny. So I came up with this. I hope you like it.

Finally Together

A Tribute to Kyle and Sunny

Kyle had been great with me since he brought me back. He protected me, comforted me and he even almost got in fights over me. I was happy that he cared so much for me.

Though I got the impression that it wasn't going to be like it uses to. He was ok with wrapping me in his arms to comfort me and he was ok with having me behind him to protect me. And a couple of times he kissed the top of my head and I think once he kissed my cheek.

I missed it. The passion we had for each other…. Well the passion he uses to have with Jodie. Maybe that was why he didn't want to kiss me or why he didn't want to love me.

After spending so much time with Kyle I've started to feel jealous of Jodie. She had such a great love and passion for him that kept him alive in my mind even after she was gone I still loved him.

But about a night or two after we moved into the cave he'd worked so hard to widen for us something was different.

I was tired from baking bread with Wanda in the kitchen and I was ready to fall asleep cuddling next to Kyle. I sat on the bed and pulled my pajamas out from under my pillow.

Kyle had gotten his pajama pants from under his pillow and I was momentarily distracted while he took off his shirt, exposing his back to me. I got nervous every time he undressed in front of me. I'd never been intimate with a man on this planet.

I took off the ring that I only took off when I was in bed and when I took a bath in the bathing room then I stripped and pulled on my pajama shirt which was just a tank top with butterflies that was a little low cut for my taste especially while sleeping next to a man who I was very, VERY attracted to. And a pair of very short shorts. I turned and saw that Kyle was turned towards the door.

"You can look now. I'm dressed." I said softly. He didn't have to turn away while I was getting dressed, it's not like he hadn't seen this body naked before. But I did appreciate it all the same.

He turned and just looked at me for a moment. He'd been doing this since we moved into this cave. He's been looking at me with that same stare while in the fields or while we were eating. I wasn't sure what he was thinking while he was looking at me like that but it wasn't aggressive and it wasn't sad. It was like he was deciding something but never came to a conclusion.

I sat down on the bed and pulled the blanket down almost like I was turning down the comforter on a fancy bed or something like that. I just wanted to busy myself so I didn't look at Kyle while he was just looking at me. It was kinda creepy to be honest.

I guess he must have given up again because he walked over to me and sat next to me on the bed.

"Sunny." I looked at him, "Can I talk to you about something?" I nodded.

He took a deep breath and smiled at me. It was the kind of smile that he only wore around me. "Sunny, first off I wanted to say I'm sorry. I know you've been looking for Jodi and I'm glad you have but I think I have to face the fact that she isn't coming back."

I started to cry. It must have taken a lot to admit that to himself, I know how much Jodi must have meant to him.

"Secondly I want you to know that…." He paused, maybe the words were too hard for him to say out loud, "I need you to know that I…. I think I love you."

Now I was really crying. He loves me? Me? Sunny? The parasite in the body that belonged to the woman he loves still?

He wiped the tears from my eyes with his thumb and grabbed my hands in his. "Sunny I love you. I understand now what my brother can see in Wanda and I've seen it in you. The innocent wisdom of the world, the love you have for everyone even those who try to hurt you."

He saw all this in me?

"And I want to ask you something?" I nodded, "Do you love me?"

I didn't have to think about it. "Yes. I love you Kyle O'Shea." It may have been Jodi who loved him first but I loved him. The soul inside this body, Sunlight Passing Through The Ice loves the human Kyle O'Shea.

He smiled at me widely, "I'm glad. I have another thing to ask."

"Shoot." I said excited now that we'd got all that out.

"Can I kiss you?"

I smiled, "I thought you'd never ask." He chuckled and then leaned in towards me while I mimicked him.

When our lips met it was like fireworks. The spark I remembered from Jodi's memories was still there but it was different, the body liked it a lot but I liked it too. Me. The kiss started off soft and gentle then got a bit more urgent. I wrapped my arms around his neck and tangled my fingers into his hair while his hands worked their way around my waist.

I gave little gentle tug on his hair as something rose up inside me; the passion I remembered from Jodi filled my body from the tips of my fingers to the bottom of my toes. I wanted more.

Kyle intensified his kissing and I did too. He opened his mouth and lightly brushed his tongue along my bottom lip. I consented and my tongue went into familiar territory. We sat there kissing for a few minutes until it wasn't enough.

I wasn't sure if he'd want me to so I broke the kiss and went to straddle him, "Is this ok?" I asked. He nodded and brought our lips back together.

Now that I was closer we could get more intimate. He let his hands hub up and down my back and I let mine feel their way around his broad shoulders and down his muscular chest.

It was a minute before he broke the kiss, "Sunny."

"Huh?" I said looking at him but not wanting to pull my face to far from his.

"I'd like to go further with you." I could feel his breath on my face, "But I don't know if you'd be ok with it."

I smiled what I thought could be a seductive smile and I planted a kiss on his lips, "I want that too."

He smiled back at me and put a few more kissed on my lips before moving down my neck and moving his hands up the sides of my shirt.

I welcomed the sensation of pleasure that coursed though me at his touch and his kisses. I wanted this. I let my fingers travel down his chest and stop at the hem of his pajamas.

He lifted the tank top over my head and I put my arms over my head. When the fabric was gone I felt so exposed but I didn't mind being exposed to Kyle. I smiled at him and he brought his lips back to mine and I felt him move me to lie on the bed.

I got the impression that I was going to be the first one to be naked while his lips traveled down my neck and past my collar bone and his hands traveled down my stomach and to the hem of my shorts.

I closed my eyes and arched my back as the exciting pleasure of his kisses reached and then passed my breasts. He kissed down my stomach and I heard the movement of fabric which I guessed was our pajama bottoms flying into the darkness.

I knew he was naked too when I felt him slid back up to have our lips meet once more. "You're so beautiful." He whispered and I knew it was meant for me.

"Kyle?" I half asked and half moaned.

"Yes?" he said his lips against my neck.

"I'm glad you found me."

I felt him smile, "Me too."

And then we became one and the ring I still wore meant something to me now.

If I feel like it and enough people like it maybe I'll make one for Mel and Jared not that we have to guess what they do at night.
