Nick could not keep his hands off of Adalind. The fear of losing her had a vice-like grip on his throat and it drove him to keep her as close as possible.

After the fourth time within an hour of Nick pulling Adalind into a dark corner and kissing her senseless, she swore her knees had gone permanently to jelly.

And that night, Adalind didn't have to worry about muffling her moans of passion to keep from disturbing Trubel, Nick barely gave her time to catch her breath.

He played her body with such skill and precision, she was certain he was using their newly acquired mind link.

Not that she was going to complain about any of it.

Especially with him sucking on her breasts and his fingers rubbing her clit.

His mouth never left her body for long. When her nipples became too sensitive for any more attention, Nick traveled up to her neck. And then he took her lips with his own as he slid inside her.

He tasted her every moan that came with each of his thrusts.

Each one was sweeter than honey.

Their hands were far from idle. Neither one could get enough of feeling the other's flesh.

Nick squeezed Adalind's perfect backside, kneading the flesh in an attempt to get her as close to him as possible.

He needed to feel her walls contract around him in order to be assured that she was alive and really with him.

When they were finally sated and drifting into sleep, it was with Adalind's warm soft body pressed against him and his strong arms wrapped tightly around her.

When morning came, Nick woke with a desperate hunger for Adalind.

It didn't matter that they had just made passionate love the night before, he needed her like he needed nothing else.

One arm wrapped tightly around her, his other hand moved over her naked skin.

Gently, ever so gently, he maneuvered her onto her back, so he could brush his lips over the smooth expanse of her form.

His touches were feather light as he caressed her breasts and then trailed lower.

"Nick?" Adalind whimpered, body already responding to his attention.

Eyes darting to the juncture between her legs, he noticed that she was already beginning to glisten with her arousal.

With a smug smile, he spread her open, allowing him access to her swollen bud.

Using only his tongue, he stroked repeatedly until her hips were lifting off of the bed, trying to get closer to that which made her feel so good.

"Nick." Adalind gasped, eyes shooting open and searching him out.

When their eyes locked, she wasted no time in reaching for him and pulling his body on top of hers.

She wrapped her arms and legs around him, a clear statement that foreplay was over.

"Oh, Nick." Adalind moaned, clear praise in the tone of her voice the moment he was fully inside of her.

He pressed his lips along her face and held her tightly as they moved together.

"Don't stop. Don't ever stop." He heard her say and sensed from her a desire for him to adjust his angle so his pubic bone was rubbing harder on her clit.

When he did, she arched off of the bed and shouted, "Yes!"

He continued to move the way she needed as he started to chase his own release.

Delicious aftershocks rippled through her until she felt him shudder with his own release and his body stilled.

Nick and Adalind kissed deeply, each feeling the other's love flowing into them.

"I wish we could start every morning making love." Adalind sighed.

"Me too." Nick smiled. "It's better than coffee."

Grimm

There were times when Nick would wake up in bed, see Adalind laying next to him and just stare at her.

He didn't want to ever be without her again. And he cherished every moment he got to spend with her.

He often found himself tightening his hold on her, especially in times when a memory of losing her would slip into his thoughts.

Nick wanted to be a good and honorable man. He wanted to always do what was right and just. But he knew there was darkness in him. A monster that wesen feared. He was certain that if he lost Adalind, that monster would come out.

Someone had tried to take away the woman he loved. His greatest source of comfort and happiness. So Nick felt he was in his rights to destroy whoever was responsible.

He would hunt down every lead in order to find the ones who tried to kidnap Adalind. And when he found them, they would see for themselves the kind of monster they had unleashed.
