Kate lets her fingers trickle his skin, his chest, and feels his hands on her sides, just holding her. It's exactly what she needs right now. It had been a close one today and when she came home to see him with only his boxers on in their bed she just felt the need for connection. And so she stripped down to her panties and put on her gray N.Y.P.D. shirt for comfort before she went to the bed, joining her boyfriend by straddling his hips. It definitely grabs his attention from the book he was reading. Before he said anything he'd put the book aside and looked up into her eyes only to see the exhaustion she felt. Now, she's been sitting like this for quite a while and she already feels better.

"How are you feeling?" he asks and she smiles as his hand caresses down her arm until it catches hers, pulling it to his mouth to kiss it.

"Better," she says with a sigh of contentment.

He hums and kisses her wrist as his other hand slightly moves onto her back and pulls her carefully down to him. As she slowly lies down his lips keep traveling her arm with kisses. Once her head is on his shoulder he's turning his own head to kiss her forehead.

"I never really figured you to be this cuddly," he whispers as his hand on her back starts to massage her with his fingers making all kinds of patterns, making her hum.

"Well, I couldn't do this all those other times, could I?" she tells him, her fingers continuing to make patterns on his chest. Addicted to the touch, she knows she's addicted to his touch, and to touching him, but right now she doesn't care.

"Well, you could," he says and she giggles. She actually hears herself giggle. "But I guess that would've been weird."

"Yeah," she half-gasps. "Plus, if I would've been this undressed with you any of those times it wouldn't have stayed at cuddling."

He chuckles. "No, you wouldn't be able to keep your hands off of me."

"Pfft, it would've been the other way around," she snorts.

"Yeah, maybe," he chuckles.

His fingers dip under her shirt and she shudders at the sudden contact with her skin. She can't help but let her lips pout a kiss onto his skin, making him shudder right back.

"Well, maybe I can't let this stop at cuddling now either," he whispers with a ragged breath and she bites her lower lip.

"Me neither," she breathes out.

As soon as her words are out she feels his hand travel down to cup her ass and she gasps as she feels him rise from under her. She pulls up her head to let her lips find his and moans at the first contact between their tongues. Right before it gets more heated and she loses all trains of thought she manages to think; best way to wind down.
