Henrik woke up to Roxanna's hand tugging on his chest hair lightly. Blinking open his eyes, he blearily looked down at Roxanna's face, seeing that her eyes were closed, a soft smile on her lips. This was their last morning together, since she had gotten the latest flight back to Boston, in order to maximize their time together, and he wanted to spend as much of it in bed as possible. "Good morning, darling," she said huskily as she opened her eyes and leaned in to kiss him deeply, pushing him onto his back as she straddled him, reaching out to his nightstand and grabbing his glasses and gently putting them on his face. Henrik adjusted them a little as he stared up at her, sharing the smile on her lips.

"Good morning, Roxanna." He reached up and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear before running his hand down her arm and leg, resting it on her knee as he stared up at her. "I hate that it gets harder and harder to stay goodbye to you."

"It's only a few more times, Henrik, and then we can be together for as long as you'll have me." Roxanna blinked a few times before drawing in a deep breath. "I don't think I want to make love this morning, because last night was so good. But I would like to try something different?"

"What would that be?" he asked as he rubbed his hand up and down her thigh, never taking his eyes from hers.

"We haven't showered together yet."

Her words were rushed, which told Henrik how nervous she was about voicing her desires. He hated that she felt like he would reject her for that, but he also understood, since they had never really formally set any boundaries for sex. The quiet that dropped between them caused a blush to rise up in her cheeks, and he shook his head a little as he squeezed her thigh tenderly. "We do need to get clean, don't we?"

A beauteous smile spread across her features as she slipped off him, holding her hand out to him in anticipation. He chuckled as he took hold of it, letting her pull him to his feet before they traipsed across the hall to his bathroom. "My only other request is that you wash my hair with your shampoo, so that I can at least smell like you all the way home."

"Of course I can do that," he said as they stepped into the shower. It was a bit of a tight fit, but that seemed to make everything that much more intimate, and he turned them so that his back would be hit by the water first. She smiled up at him as she turned the water on, allowing it to flood down on them. He shivered a little at how cold it was, until she fiddled with the temperature control, setting it to the perfect warmth.

It was so easy to lean down and start kissing her as they moved around in the shower, wetting their bodies and hair. His hands slid up her torso to cup her breasts, and Roxanna groaned against his lips as she plastered her body closer to his. "This isn't quite how I imagined it to go," she said as she panted, pulling her head back to look at him. "I just can't stop kissing you, Henrik."

"I feel the same, Roxanna." She giggled a little before bending down and picking up his bodywash, pouring a little out in her hands before starting to rub them over his chest and arms, working up a lather before indicating for him to turn and repeating the movements on his back. "May I?"

"That was always the plan, darling," she said lowly before pressing her lips to his lower back, sending shivers of desire coursing through him. He turned to face her, taking a good look at her body as she stood once more, and he sighed to know that someone as lovely as her had chosen someone like him to be with. "I love how you see me."

He nodded as he poured bodywash into his hands and began to lather her body, relishing the feel of how she reacted, as if she couldn't control the desire coursing through her veins as he washed her skin. "You are so gorgeous, Roxy," he said lowly as his hand brushed against her vulva, causing her hips to buck against him as a small whine slipped from her lips. He slid his hands up her body before pulling her shoulders towards him, plastering their bodies together once more as the water fell down around them once more, washing off the suds.

"And now for our hair. You might have to crouch down a little so that I can lather up your luscious locks." He chuckled a little as he nodded, bending slight to accommodate her. Once she had finished that, he took the bottle from her and poured a dollop of it onto her head before burying his fingers into her hair, working it in and massaging her scalp, listening to her purr with pleasure as he did that. They fell into kissing once more as the water washed the shampoo out of their hair.

Roxanna turned the water off, and he opened the door to grab towels for them, wrapping one around her body before he slung his around his hips. "We're making breakfast together, yes?"

"Yes. I'm loathe to give up any time with you today, especially since Christopher was gracious enough to switch shifts with me so that I could take you to the airport."

She nodded as she stepped out of the shower, grabbing another towel to wrap around her head before she looked at him. "You have amazing coworkers," she murmured before she left the bathroom. Henrik smiled after her fondly as he took the final towel off the rack and rubbed it over his head, drying his hair a little before he dropped them both into the hamper and went to his room.

Roxanna was already mostly dressed by the time he got there, and he sighed softly as he watched her dance around in her panties and his jumper. "If you keep that up, you're going to be exhausted before you get to the airport."

"Maybe I'll actually sleep on my way back, then. And yes, I will call you as soon as I'm back in the apartment. Oh! I completely forgot, because I've been so wrapped up in you, my darling. I found a new research partner. His name is David, and you would love him. So would John, if truth be told. The four of us could have been a force to be reckoned with, had things worked out differently for us all."

He nodded as he went over to his dresser, slowly getting dressed. "What's his area of expertise?"

"Something that I don't fully understand yet, which is amazing, because I feel like I'm learning something new every hour, you know? If you are able to come over for Christmas or my graduation, I will make certain to introduce him. Hopefully, we can all keep in touch, even if I know that's a long shot." Roxanna pulled on knee length black skirt before taking a seat on the bed and shoving her feet into her Doc Martens, quickly lacing them before stretching out on her stomach and watching him finish dressing.

"And now we go eat," he murmured as he headed towards the door, giving a small jerk of his head. She nodded and bounced to her feet, coming to his side and wrapping her arm around his waist so that they could walk to the kitchen together, relishing these final moments together for some time to come.
