Nick stayed on top of her for a few minutes. Finally their breathing returned to normal. She smiled up at him and said softly "Wow, that was, wow."
Nick smiled down at her and said "My thoughts exactly." He kissed her softly and finally lifted himself off of her. She smiled as she snuggled up next to him. He put his arm over her and they fell asleep.
Much later Nick woke up and was surprised to find the other side of the bed was empty. He looked out and saw her sitting on the balcony. He smiled to himself and decided to let her alone with her thoughts. He noticed that it was late enough that he could get ready to start the day. He grabbed a pair of boxers and a fresh shirt and shorts and went into the bathroom.
Catherine heard him moving around. She turned around in time to see him disappear into the bathroom. She smiled to herself and quickly opened the sliding glass door. She silently walked into the bathroom and slipped in behind him. He smiled as he felt her arms close around him. He turned around and kissed her deeply. She smiled into his kiss and he walked her up to the wall of the shower. Once there he held her arms up above her head and proceeded to make love to her once again.
Much later they emerged from the hotel room. Showered and changed and ready to start the day. They held hands as they walked to the elevator. Once outside the Florida sun hit them. Catherine smiled and said "Looks like a beautiful day."
Nick smiled and said "There are more beautiful things to look at."
Catherine blushed and just smiled. They walked to the waiting monorail and were soon on their way to the Magic Kingdom. Once inside they were stopped by a man taking pictures. He smiled and said "Can I take a picture for you lovely folks?"
Nick smiled and said "Please do."
Nick turned Catherine sideways and kissed her as the man took their picture. He smiled and took the card and put it in his wallet. Catherine smiled and asked him "How are you going to explain that picture to your family?"
Nick shrugged and said "I'll just tell them that I was on vacation with the woman I lo…."
Catherine silenced him with a kiss. He looked at her and said "What was that for?"
She shrugged and said "To keep you from saying you love me!"
Nick gave her a look and said "Why? It's true."
She merely laughed and they arrived at the first attraction. Nick smiled and said "This is my favorite ride!!"
This caused Catherine to laugh and say "Aren't you a little old for this one?"
Nick shook his head and said "You are never too old for anything here!!"
Catherine just smiled and said "Okay, let's go!"
Nick grabbed her hand and they ran for the line to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Catherine laughed at Nick's excitement. He looked at her and said "Your going down missy!!"
She rolled her eyes and said "You think so?"
He nodded and said "Yep!!"
They walked onto the ride and got into one of the cars. Nick and Catherine laughed like little kids. They got off and Nick noticed the picture booth. He smiled and said "I want this picture."
Catherine couldn't help the smile that escaped her lips. What would Gil say about this whole trip? She shook that thought out of her mind. She would not think about work. She smiled as they walked to the next attraction.
Late that night they got back to the hotel room. Both of them were exhausted. Catherine fell into the bed and smiled. She looked at Nick. He was sitting in a chair on the opposite end of the room. He looked at her and said "All I want to do is sleep."
She laughed and said "Anything I can do to change your mind?"
"Nope, sleep is calling me!"
She smiled as she walked over to where he was sitting. His eyes were closed so he didn't see her undressing in front of him. She whispered softly "That's a shame. I was hoping we could have a repeat of last night."
He opened his eyes and a smile spread slowly across his face. He swallowed hard and was able to squeak out "I, I think I can manage that."
Catherine smiled as she led him over to the bed. This time she was in control. She pushed him onto the bed and got on top of him. She kissed him deeply and smiled as she felt him getting hard. She laughed and said "I see your not that tired Nicky."
He shook his head and said "I am never too tired for you" He held her hands and said "I love you Cath!"
Suddenly she got a sad look in her eyes. He looked at her and said "What is so bad about me telling you I love you Cath? It's true! I can't help how I feel. I have felt like this for so long now and…."
Catherine looked at him and said "I love you too Nicky! That is what has me so scared!"
"What are you scared of?"
"Every man I have ever loved and has claimed to love me has hurt me. Some so badly that I never thought I would get over it!"
"I will never hurt you Cath! You have my word on that!! I love you and want to spend the rest of my life proving that to you!!"
She smiles softly and says "Let's not talk about tomorrow Nick. Today is all we have to worry about. Tomorrow will take care of itself."
Nick is bothered by this, but smiles and continues kissing her softly. Soon they are making passionate love again….
