Feeling La'an pull her close, Christine cuddled into her, holding onto the hand that rested across her chest. Dropping soft kisses onto La'an's wrist, Christine smiled when La'an shifted and softly tickled her.
Giggling and squirming, Christine rolled over and faced La'an and kissed her, smiling into the kiss as La'an's hands settled on her ribcage.
"If I had known you were this ticklish," La'an began, tickling Christine as a burst of giggles erupted from the other woman, "I would have had much more fun." Rolling on top of Christine, La'an stopped and looked into Christine's blue eyes. She could see the warmth in them, the love that radiated deep inside for her, and the unwavering loyalty and support that was always there for her.
Cupping Christine's face, La'an gently caressed her cheek before slowly kissing her. She wanted to convey her feelings and how much she loved her.
Slowly pulling back for air, La'an rested their foreheads together. "I love you, Christine, with every ounce of my being."
"I love you too."
Rolling off Christine, La'an felt her curl around her and wrap an arm around her waist. Closing her eyes, La'an basked in the feeling of being loved.
