~SPENCER POV~

It was nearly nine when we left the hospital that my mother was staying in. I was glad to see that by the time we left, she adored Bexley. I had to admit, it was something that I hadn't expected but it was definitely a pleasant surprise. She had hugged us as we left and it was something that I hadn't realized I'd missed so badly. It was nice being able to see my mom and even though it was only for a short while, I had a feeling that we would be making another visit soon.

As we locked the door to our hotel room, I couldn't help but smile as Bexley yawned. She hadn't been getting much sleep and as the time grew closer for her court date, I could tell that she was more stressed than normal. She'd put all that aside the past two days though so that she could meet my family and it was something that I admired about her.

She let her long red hair fall out of its pony tail and she stripped out of the dress. She walked over to the dresser in just her underwear and went to pull out one of my shirts. She didn't really wear anything else except my shirts to sleep in. She'd told me over the phone once that it just made her feel closer to me, something that brought a smile to my face every time I thought about it.

I knew she was tired and wanted nothing more than to go to sleep but I had other plans for the night and hoped she would change her mind. I stood behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist before leaning down and kissing her neck, the smell of her engulfing my senses.

"Spencer." She lightly moaned as I nipped at her neck. She dropped my shirt back on the dresser before wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing me with all of the passion she held and I couldn't help but put my all into that kiss.

I'd missed her and I couldn't help but pull her closer to me as I let my hands move to her backside. She had begun unbuttoning my shirt and I reached up to unhook her bra, wanting to feel her bare skin against mine. I let my shirt fall off of me as she undid the last button and she pulled her bra off, taking my breath away immediately.

I wondered for a moment if I would ever get used to seeing her like this or if she would take my breath away every time I saw her. I had read several times in books how the flames died over the years but I couldn't see that happening with us.

I pulled her back into a heated kiss before leading her over to the bed and gently pushing her down on it. Her golden eyes seemed to see into my soul as she looked into my eyes and I couldn't help but notice the brilliant smile that covered her features.

I leaned down and took her nipple into my mouth as I slid my hand down into her underwear, causing her to moan and grab my other hand that was resting on her hip. I let my fingers dive into her wet folds while my thumb rubbed against her sensitive nub. Her hands moved to my back and I felt her nails dig into my skin, something that drove me wild.

I moved to her other breast and sped up the pace of my fingers and watched her shake as her orgasm over took her. I couldn't but smile at the expression on her face and I kissed her softly as she came down from her high.

~BEXLEY POV~

When I finally came down from cloud nine, I couldn't help but throw myself into another kiss with Spencer. It had been a while since we'd been able to make love and I wasn't about to waste time. If he wanted to stay up all night, then I wasn't going to argue.

I lifted my leg up and flipped us so that I was on top of him and kissed him before moving away. I gave him a light teasing smile as I slowly slid my underwear down my legs.

"Don't tease, Bex." He said and I could hear that his voice was rougher than usual, a clear giveaway that he was aroused.

I lowered my head down and kissed the skin just above his slacks before rubbing my hand against his clothed erection. I laughed and looked up at him before saying "I'd never tease, Spencer."

I opened the button and unzipped his slacks before pulling them off of his legs so that now all he had on was his underwear. I could see that he was hard and aching for me but I was still slightly sensitive from my orgasm earlier. So I leaned down and kissed him through his boxers, making his hips arch up slightly. I pinned his hips down and kept him completely still before letting my tongue trace the outline through his boxers.

"Bexley." He moaned lightly and the sound sent an electric shock through my body.

I finally gave in and pulled his boxers down before moving so that my wet center was just above his erection. I gently lowered myself onto him and once he was buried to the hilt, I threw my head back at the amazing feeling.

I placed my hands over his chest so that I could ride him and he placed his hands on my hips so that he could thrust into me as I moved my hips. I moaned loudly and could already feel the familiar knot tightening in my stomach.

It wasn't long until he flipped us so that I was on my back and he lifted me leg so that it was on his hip. I moved my other leg so I could lock my ankles and the moment I did, he sped up his pace. He sealed our lips in a hot kiss and I tangled my hands in his hair, wanting him as close as possible.

"Spencer." I moaned and I hoped that the walls to the hotel weren't thin. The last thing I wanted was to have one of the team hear us.

He slid his hands up and cupped my breast, rubbing his thumb over my nipple as he did so. The combination of him pounding into me and playing with my breast was a heated combination, one that pushed me right over the edge into ecstasy. I felt my walls tighten around him and this pushed him over the edge. He kissed me and held me close as he continued to thrust inside of my body, riding out his orgasm with me.

As we lay there in what should have been a moment to laugh and cuddle up to each other, I found myself becoming distant from him. I turned away so that he wouldn't see the worry in my eyes. It didn't work though because he seemed to know when something was wrong with me.

"Bexley, what's wrong?" he asked and I couldn't bring myself to open my mouth to voice my fears. "Talk to me, angel."

"I can't help but think that this is our last night together." I finally said, remembering that we said this would work only if we could trust each other.

He stayed quiet for a moment before pulling me close to him. "Because of the court date?"

"Spencer, I murdered my father. It may have been out of self-defense but it was still murder. No, that's not the only reason." I told him and I couldn't help the guilt at not having told him about this but I figured I would be able to deal with it on my own. I had hoped that the feeling would go away but it only got worse.

He placed a kiss on my cheek, letting me know without words that he was there for me. That was something I'd always wanted and now that I had it, I couldn't accept it fully. He pulled the covers up on us and I could the sound of his heartbeat. It gave me the comfort to voice my thoughts.

"I don't feel as guilty as I should. I'm glad he's dead. After all he did to me and then taking away my grandmother… I just don't know if I'm innocent or not." I told him and I could feel that the rhythm of his heartbeat hadn't changed once.

"Bex." He said softly and I turned to look at him. I was met with warm brown eyes and his hand lightly cupped my cheek so that I wouldn't turn away from him. "What you're feeling is relief. You feel safe for the first time in twenty-two years. You don't have to worry about him anymore and it was self-defense. You also saved my life. You are completely innocent. So wash your doubts away. This is not the last night I'm going to hold you."

He leaned down and kissed my forehead before I laid down on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. I couldn't help but hope that he was right because I wasn't so sure.
