Charlie sighed contentedly, and wrapped his arms more snugly around Tonks.

He couldn't remember ever feeling so incredible. It was unlike any of his previous experiences with women. He felt…whole, complete, like a beautiful painting after it has just been finished.

With his eyes still closed, he thought about the past few hours.

Wow…I mean…wow. I didn't know stuff like that was possible…like a need in my soul uniting with a need in another's soul. That's what we did…our very souls united. It felt so raw, so unbelievably real. Something that I've always thought happened to other people, but couldn't happen to me. It was only because I hadn't found Tonks yet.

Charlie savored the feel of Tonks' body pressed so intimately against his own. Emotions glittered through him, desire and love and happiness combined. It was nothing short of amazing.

They had already made love three times, talking and dozing off in between the sessions, yet he wanted her again. He had a need for Tonks that rocked all the way to his core. It frightened and thrilled him in equal measures.

Part of Charlie was very afraid of how strongly he felt for the woman he was holding. He would have to go back to Romania all too soon, and Tonks would be so far away, here in London.

He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on how good he felt. He didn't want anything negative to intrude on it yet.

But Charlie did decide to glance at the clock. It was midnight.

I bet mum is wondering where I've gone too. She might be worried. What can I do about it though? I can't rightly say, 'Sorry mum, but I've been in bed with Tonks and lost track of time.' Great…

But he was a grown man, and he had absolutely no intentions of leaving the warm, comfortable bed, or more importantly, the warm, comfortable Tonks lying in it with him.

Charlie kissed the top of head. He looked down at his chest. His hand and her hand were entwined and resting above his heart. It was odd. Her hand on his heart, feeling the beat of it. In return, he could feel hers from their hands being joined.

Charlie felt as though his and Tonks' hearts had also become entwined. Their hearts, their bodies, their very lives. It was an exquisite feeling that had edges of pain.

When love is real, true, and deep, people can feel it. Part of feeling it is that hint of pain.

He drifted off to sleep, feeling as though the two of them were one and the same, feeling as though they shared a heartbeat.

Tonks stirred awake gently. She opened her eyes and saw Charlie's chest.

The visual made her smile tenderly. Thoughts of their hours together flitted through her mind beautifully, slowly. Her body felt…cosseted. She felt like she had cherished and loved. Tonks felt another glorious feeling as well. She was unsure if men felt it or not, but she recognized it and enjoyed it. She felt as though someone had found pleasure in her, through her, by her. It was an extraordinary feeling.

Tonks felt like Charlie had found a pleasure he could only find in her.

She certainly knew she had found one she could only find in him.

I never knew anything could be so intense. I guess, in a way, I was a virgin. Charlie certainly made me feel things I had never felt. I didn't no pleasure could be so beautiful and powerful, but it can—with the right person.

Tonks knew deep in her soul that she had found her right person, and she was terrified. What if he didn't feel the same way? He would be leaving in two and a half weeks! He wouldn't get the opportunity for another holiday like this in how long? Her whole body clenched with fear, but she forced her self to relax.

Even if Charlie didn't want to be with her forever, even if he only wanted her body, she would enjoy being with him for the next couple weeks.

Tonks would cherish every moment, and when the time is up, if nothing more was to happen, she would cope. That's all she could do.

Charlie felt so good, with their legs entangled and their bodies flush against each other. It was a kind of intimacy that made her heart fill with love.

Tonks could feel when Charlie's breaths changed from the deep, steady breaths of someone who is sleeping, to the more shallow ones taken when awake.

"Charlie, are you awake?"

"Mmmhmmm…barely."

They chuckled softly.

"I knew you had a lot of energy Tonks, but damn, I didn't know you'd wear me out!"

"Me?! You were right there with me, I'll have you know, and I don't think you're entirely worn out."

She looked down pointedly, to where he felt like hot steel, hot and pulsing against her thigh.

Charlie blushed a little bit, and Tonks reveled in how good she felt.

Then he was kissing her, engulfing her, taking her to the summit of some high mountain in the clouds again, where they both surrendered to sweet, burning passion.

Hi guys. I know was nothing special, but I felt that I needed to include a chapter like this to stress the point that the sex they just had is NOT just sex. It's not cheap or tawdry. It's a part of the love they share for each other but don't know it yet. And I don't care if anyone thinks that they've fallen in love too quickly, because I'm a hopeless romantic, and I believe that anything is possible when it comes to love. Review, review, review!
