Kate was sitting alone in her suite reading when a knock came at the

door. "Coming" she called as she placed her book on the table and walked over

to the door. "John hi", she said as she opened the door to see John standing

there. "Did I come at a bad time?" he asked. "No, please come in", she said

moving out of the way for him. As John walked by her, she noticed that he was

holding the back of his head as he headed for the couch. "Are you okay John"?

Kate asked as she walked towards him, "Yeah I'll be fine". Taking a seat beside

him she asked what had happened, and John told her about he was in the barn

with Crystal and was about to get the truth about what happened to his wife in

the prison when he was hit in the head with a shovel. "Oh John, are you sure

your okay?" Kate asked concerned. John nodded with a slight smile, "I will be".

"Well at least let me look at it to make sure", she told him as he got behind

him. Moving her hand through his hair, Kate knew she had found the bump

when she felt John flex. "That's quite the goose egg you have there John."

"What can you do, it's been a rough night." Just than John felt Kate's hands

beginning to rub his shoulders, "Oh Kate, that feels so good." John moaned as

she continued to message his shoulders. "Yeah right there, ohh".

Just than there was another knock at the door. "I'll be right there", called

Kate as she rose from the couch. Opening the door she saw the bellboy

standing with a table with two trays, wine and candles, "Can I help you?" she

asked. "Room service Ms Roberts." he said as he made his way into the room.

John rose from the couch, "Thank you" he said as he handed a bill to the boy.

Closing the door Kate stared at John, "What is it?". Shaking his head, John

lifted the trays. "It's strawberries with whipped cream and chocolate."

Stepping closer, a sad look came across Kate's face. "What's wrong?" asked

John walking towards her. "It's just that Roman and I would have strawberries

with chocolate and…". John placed his hand on Kate's shoulder. "So you didn't

order this?" he said. Kate shook her head, "No I thought you did". When John

didn't respond, Kate hurried to the phone and dialed room service. "Yes hi,

this is Kate Roberts. I just received a dessert than neither my guest nor myself

ordered." The bellboy was quick to answer, "Yes we're sorry about that. There

was a mix-up, but please accept it." Hanging up the phone Kate turned to

John, "There was a mix up in the kitchen so it's ours." Smiling John picked up

the wine and poured a glass for himself and Kate. "Well we can't let it go to

waste can we?". Raising her glass Kate suggested that they make a toast. "To

our loved ones in which we've lost, may they be happy wherever they are".

John nodded in agreement, "And may we too find happiness once again."

Silence grew between the two as the sipped their wine. Just than John walked

over to the stereo, "How bout some music?". he asked as he turned on the

radio. Turning up the volume a familiar song was heard.

Watching every motion

In my foolish lover's game

On this endless ocean

Finally lover's know no shame

Turning and returning

To some secret place inside

Watching in slow motion

As you turn around and say

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

John rose from the stereo and walked towards take. Placing his glass on the

table he took hers from her hands and did the same. "Dance with me?" he

asked as he held his hand out for her. Taking his hand in hers, Kate nodded.

They held each other moving slowly to the music.

Watching I keep waiting

Still anticipating love

Never hesitating

To become the fated ones

Turning and returning

To some secret place to hide

Watching in slow motion

As you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

"John, this may sound inappropriate, but hold me. Never let me go". Kate

whispered as she wrapped her hands around his neck. John did just that pulling

her closer to him. "I'll never let you go" he whispered into her hair.

Through the hourglass I saw you

In time you slipped away

When the mirror crashed I called you

And turned to hear you say

If only for today

I am unafraid

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Just than John stopped, taking his hand he lifted Kate's chin. Looking into her

eyes he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Quickly Kate pulled

back shocked. "I'm sorry Kate I shouldn't have done that. I'll leave". John said

as he let her go and headed for the door. But before he could leave Kate

grabbed his hand, "Don't go", she said as she moved towards him and kissed

him passionately as the song ended.

Watching ever motion

In this foolish lover's game

Haunted by the notion

Somewhere there's a love in flames

Turning and returning

To some secret place inside

Watching in slow motion

As you turn away and say

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Slightly pulling away from John, Kate smiled. "John, this changes so many

things." Running his hand through his hair John grinned, "For the better I

hope. Kate I never thought that I would feel that way again, but you've

changed that." Smiling, Kate leaned into John, "I feel the same way." she

whispered as she kissed him in again. Taking his hand in hers, Kate stepped back and guided him towards her bedroom. Stopping in the door way, John

turned Kate to face him. "Are you sure"? he asked looking into her eyes.

Nodding her head, Kate smiled. Taking that as her response, John stepped

closer, "Than let's do it right."

In the still of the night

I held you, held you tight

'Cause I love you, love you so

Promise I'll never let you go

In the still of the night

He said as he walked over to the nightstand and took off his wedding ring,

placing it on the nightstand. Seeing this Kate did the same. Even though their

spouses were gone, they didn't want to feel as if they were cheating on them.

Walking over to her, John placed his hands at her side as their mouths met.

Slowly at first than moved quickly.

I remember that night in May

The stars were bright above

I'll hope and I'll pray

To keep your precious love

John removed his shirt, throwing it beside the bed. As he did that Kate lifted

her arms in the air and John carefully lifted her shirt over her head, kissing the

bare skin that was revealed. His hands slowly made their way to her bare

breasts, a moan was heard from Kate, at the feeling of his hands on her

breasts. Tightening his grip, John pulled Kate down to the bed with him.

Well before the light

Hold me again with all you might

In the still of the night

He kissed her again deeply thoroughly, as their kissed depend John's hands moved down her abdomen to the zipper of her pants. Kate heard him pulling

the zipper down, exposing her black thong, in which he took off in a swift

motion. His lips left hers to trail a fiery path down her bury ridge of her

collarbone before latching greedily onto her breast. Kate moaned, her fingers

threading through John's hair as she pressed him closer, but John stood up

from the bed, quickly ridding himself of his slacks and boxers. Climbing back

onto the bed John braced his hands on either side of Kate as he looked into her

eyes. "Your sure", he asked. "I need you John", she calmly said as their gaze

met and Kate wrapped her legs around John's waist, locking her ankles

together. "John", she called breathing softly. John's mouth captured hers as

he shifted and slid deeply into her. Kate gasped, "You okay? I can stop", John

asked softly. Kate smiled at his tender concern and nodded. "Keep going".

John begun slowly to move inside her, pumping his hips in a slow steady

rhythm. Kate slid her hands up and down his back, aiding to his thrusts.

The quiet room became filled with soft gasps and cries of passion.

So before the light

Hold me again with all your might

In the still of the night

In the still of the night

John finally collapsed on top of Kate, after both their arousals reached their

peaks. Kate brushed he lips over John's sweat damp forehead. Slipping out of

her, John rolled onto the other side of Kate, pulling her close to him. Settling

her head on his chest, they both closed their eyes as smiles came across both faces.
