The jetty was softly lit with glowing lanterns, the lights from the shore causing the blue green water to glow with colour, the stars wheeling overhead as a soft yet mild breeze blew in from the sea, the sound of small waves lapping at the shore the only sound. At the end of the jetty was a table, lit by candles with a few perfumed orchids surrounding them and Chris and Reese sat on either side and gazed out into the stillness of the night, enjoying the calm. Chris looked over at Reese and couldn't help but smile. She looked so happy and so beautiful. She was wearing a plain cotton white dress and her freshly cut and coloured hair was pulled back into a bun, her short fringe brushed to once side and a pink orchid peeking out from behind her ear. Reese noticed Chris watching her and she turned around from studying the ocean and took a sip of her champagne before rising from her seat and moving further down the jetty, hanging her feet over the side into the cool water and leaning back on her arms, turning her face to the sky. Reese took another sip of champagne as Chris joined her, leaning over to brush his lips lightly against her bare shoulder, noticing her skin goose bump at his touch.
"Why did you pick this place?" Chris wondered out loud, letting his breath carry across Reese's neck softly.
"It's perfect. The sea, the stars...you." Chris looked up from kissing Reese's neck and gazed into her eyes, seeing the same emotions crossing her face as were slowly filling his heart. He leaned in and let his lips rest against her own, teasing her by merely brushing them against her mouth, biting on her lip gently as her breathing quickened.
"God damnit, Chris Halliwell, just kiss me already." Reese demanded but her voice was merely a lusty whisper and he obliged, covering her mouth with his lips and letting the sweet taste of her mouth mingle with her intoxicating scent and the feel of her so close to him. Reese felt herself floating and when she opened her eyes she found herself sitting on the edge of her bed and Chris was sitting next to her, letting his fingers slide the straps of her dress from her shoulders. She pulled him up from the bed to stand at its edge and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him tenderly as she ran her hands beneath his shirt and up his naked back. He groaned with his lust and pushed the straps from her shoulders, letting her dress fall to the floor in a heap before pulling her up to straddle his waist, running his hands along her bare thighs and unclasping her bra before setting her back on the bed and climbing on top of her. His shirt flew across the room and they soon found themselves naked, lustful beneath the sheets, their breathing quick and their kisses filled with hunger and passion, the desire for skin on skin intoxicating til it became too much and the feeling grew til Chris was breathing heatedly in her ear, his words barely audible through his lust, "I love you." Reese wrapped herself around him, her body shaking and sweating and she brought her face up to his again and murmured against his lips, "I love you too."
