He stood up and kissed her again with such intensity he almost threw her backwards but luckily she caught herself and him before they hit the ground laughing as hard as she could.

"(Laughs) the next time you want to do that wait until we're in front of a bed."

"(laughs) yes I agree!"

They went back into the room where Joseph came up behind her and picked her off her feet.

"Oh Joseph! Put me down."

"But I don't want to. I just want to hold and kiss you forever. You and our baby are the only things that matter to me now. Nothing else comes close."

"You say the sweetest things. But do you mean them? I mean really mean them?"

"You should know the answer to that."

"I do but if someone finds out it will be disastrous for both of us."

"Don't worry I will make sure no one beside us knows about this. I promise you."

He put her down gently, grabbed her arms, and kissed her gently. She put her head on his chest and sighed deeply.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome my darling."

"How long can you stay?"

"Only a few more hours. We have a new security employee coming by today for his interview, and I have to give it to him."

"Why can't someone else do it? I hardly get to see you as it is."

"The rest of the security went with Rupert to France to look after him and the boys so one else is there."

"(Groans) it isn't fair."

"But don't worry when you get back we'll see each other more."

"I know well what should we do with the few hours we have left? (Chuckles)"

"I have the perfect thing."

He picked her up once again and took her back into the bedroom where he laid her down gently. He started to kiss her when the most perfect idea came to his head.

"Stay still don't move."

"What are you doing?"

"Just be still."

"Alright."

He went into the bathroom and started drawing a bath for them. He lit a few candles to give the room an even more romantic feel to it, and dropped in a few capfuls of her lavender bubble bath she loved so much that always relieved her stress everywhere she went. He back into the bedroom where she was lying on the bed propped up on her side waiting for him to return.

"Come…"

She started to get up when he grabbed the sheet that was covering her body and untied the knot at her breasts.

"You can leave that here…"

"What are you up to?"

"It's a surprise."

He led her to the bathroom but covered her eyes before she reached the door.

"Joseph this is childish and inappropriate."

"Humor me please?"

"Oh alright."

When he had her actually in the bathroom he took his hands from her eyes. She gasped at the romantic quality he had put together in just a few short minutes.

"This is…"

"Wonderful? It thought you might like it."

He grabbed her hand and helped her into the tub, while he removed his boxers, and got in behind her. She went over to him and laid on his chest, while he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"(Sighs) this is wonderful and relaxing. Is that my lavender bubble bath?"

"Yes I know how much it helps you relax, and you need to relax right now. Here…"

He grabbed a washcloth, dabbed a little of body wash in it and started washing her shoulders and back. She leaned her head back so he could wash her neck, breasts, and her arms. When he got to her hands, he ran the washcloth over them one at a time before rinsing them off and kissing her fingertips. She ran a finger over his lips feeling the soft skin that has kissed every part of her body. He held her hand from his lips so he could kiss her again. She loved his kisses; they were warm and sweet and she knew his love for her was in everyone.

He led his kisses from her lips to her jaw, then down to her neck, which he kissed up and down tasting her feverish skin which drove him crazy. She put a hand to the back of his head as he continued his sweet kisses on her neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him inhaling the scent of her. It was the same scent he had dreamed about night after night plaguing his dreams until he came across her walking in the garden late one night, mustered up his courage, and kissed her.
