Ella yawned softly, burying her head back into the pillow and pulling it tight to her face, feeling still far too sleepy to even attempt getting up. She sighed and released the pillow, rubbing her eyes a little and blinking, trying to adjust to the light that was flowing into the room. It was then that Ella sensed the thing that had woken her up to begin with. Fingers were tracing from the base of her spine, lingering over each of the scars on her back with delicate precision before they traced up to the nape of her neck, giving a very gentle squeeze before tracing back down. Ella felt a shiver run through her form, goosebumps racing over her skin as a sigh of contentment left her lips. She pressed back into the form beside her and felt one of his hands wrap around her waist, stroking the soft skin delicately so it fluttered under his touch, his lips finding their way to her neck, causing her to let out a soft gasp of pleasure.

'Morning to you too...'

She chuckled softly and wriggled slightly until her backside pressed against his hardening length, earning nothing more than a grunt from him in response. He bit down on her neck gently, the hand on her waist pulling her tighter to him so he slipped between the warm, soft cheeks, rocking his hips slowly against her, his hand beginning it's playful descent down her body, dancing over her thighs teasingly.

Turning on to her back slightly, her backside still pressed against him as the rocking of his hips became slightly more urgent, she felt him pull away from her neck and look into her eyes, his heavy with lust and need, his warm, panting breath dancing over her face as his fingers made their way to her core, teasing the soft, wet, velvet lips delicately before he slipped a finger inside her, grunting into her shoulder once more, causing her to cry out with pleasure.

He had always been like this, from the moment that they had confessed their love for each other. Around others, he acted like nothing had changed between them. He greeted her just as he would do the others and spoke to her as he would do at any point during the day whilst they were working. This suited Ella perfectly, for sure wasn't exactly good at showing her emotions, nor was she comfortable with displaying them for everyone to see. It had taken her long enough to admit her feelings for him, let alone then have the entire City know. Not to mention, she knew it was incredibly dangerous. If anyone found out, she would be in danger, simply because it would be a means to get to him.

However, when they were alone, he was completely different. He still had the same bored tone when they talked, however, his actions and the way he treated her made her feel like the most amazing woman in the world. Every touch, every caress, every kiss was perfect. They could spend hours just laying in each others arms, not saying a word, enjoying the closeness that came with it. It was as though, when they were alone, neither could get enough of the other and not just the physical, but the emotional too. She loved it when he ran his fingers through her hair for what seemed like an age, or when he rested his head on her chest and just lay there, in complete silence. It wasn't an awkward silence, it was warm, comforting, as though everything was perfect with the world and that there were no troubles outside their front door and it was during these times that they would actually talk about the future. Whether it was silly plans, like owning an estate beyond the wall and having twenty kids to fill the estate, or, the times when it was actually serious plans, like when Levi decided to take a step back from all his work, to boost the chances of both of them being in less danger.

Levi kissed her neck affectionately, slowly, carefully, as he edged her back on to the bed, moving between her legs, his ice blue eyes locked with the warm brown depths of hers. His kisses traced down her neck, nibbling gently along her collar bone, his tongue following in a delicate, teasing dance, savouring how her skin tasted before his lips found one of her nipples, kissing the hardened nub softly and blowing on it before his tongue began to trace teasing circles, causing her to arch her back into him, her legs opening a little wider, allowing his fingers better access to her soaked core. He relished the way she responded to his teasing touch, so willing, so submissive, playing to his kinks perfectly and it only proved to get him even more heated. It was as though she had studied every moment of their time together so that she could tease him just as he teased her. He grunted into her breast as her nails ran up and down his back, digging in just deep enough to leave faint scratch marks on his back.

Switching to her neglected breast, he feasted on the nipple, repeating the teasing, tracing his tongue around before he bit down gently, causing her to cry out softly. He loved hearing her cry out, loved driving her to the point where she was practically screaming his name. He didn't care who heard them, not when he was in the current state he was in right now. For all he cared, she could have screamed so loudly it would bring the whole world down on top of them, just as long as they both got the relief that they needed.

Out of the blue, he bit down a little harder than he had intended into her breast, causing her to wince slightly. The reason for this was the sudden sensation of her soft, delicate hand wrapping around his raging length. She squeezed gently before stroking slowly, his eyes locking with hers once more, seeing the glint of playfulnees in her eyes, something that caused a shudder to run through his body, only to be echoed perfectly by the shudder than ran through her form. Raising himself up, he looked down into her eyes, swimming in the jolts of pleasure that threatened to overwhelm her as her now expert hand teased him to the point of insanity. Tilting his head down, he let his lips brush against hers, just out of reach of a kiss as he spoke.

'Oh, you really have woken up now then...'

'It was only a matter of time...it's not like I had much choice...'

'I didn't hear you complaining.'

Leaning forward, hit nibbled gently on her lower lip, a muffled groan of pleasure escaping his lips as her hand began to stroke faster and harder.

'How could I complain when I get such a delightful wake up call?'

'If you'd woken up sooner, we would have had more time to pla-'

Levi found that his words caught in his throat as yet another shudder of pleasure ran through his body, his eyes locking with the mischevious brown eyes of his lover. She grinned as she ran his length over the soaked lips of her womanhood, gasping softly from the sensation, his fist burying into the pillow beside her head as he tried to calm from the sensation.

Looking at her once more and without warning, Levi caught her lips in a breath taking kiss, filled with passion and lust. It took Ella by surprise, causing her to cry out into his mouth from the ferocity of his kiss. He wasn't causing her pain, it was simply that she felt as though he was sucking the very air out of her body.

Breaking the kiss, he rested his forehead against hers, their heated breath dancing over each others faces as their eyes locked once more as he lowered himself into her, groaning deeply as he entered the tight, warm, wet confines of her most secret part. Inch by inch he entered, enjoying the sensation of her tight cavern squeezing around his length as she allowed him inside once more. He grunted as he pressed his hips fully against hers, feeling her shudder in his arms as he buried himself as deeply as he could inside her, holding her gaze as he did so, sharing in the sensation of being so close to the person that he loved most in the world.

Leaning down. he caught her lips in another kiss, this time, one that was much slower, much deeper much more affectionate than the first one they had shared that morning. As their tongues began the delicate dance for dominance, interupted by her need to nibble and bite on his lower lip, yet another thing that drove him crazy every time she did so. He hadn't even been aware that he had that particular kinky until she tried it and now, she used it at every opportunity, knowing full well it would drive him to the point as insanity before long.

As they kissed, he began to rock his hips, thrusting slowly and deeply into her at first, enjoying the sensation of her around his length, how her body accepted him with every thrust, how her back arched as he reached her deepest point and cries of pleasure were lost in their kiss. Her hips rocked perfectly in time with his, causing a shudder to run through his own body as the temperature between them increased, beads of sweat now forming on her soft skin, dripping around the curves of her breasts, glistening in the early morning sunlight. With her hair fanned out around her, her breasts rising and falling with her laboured breathing and sight of the sweat now making her body glisten as she gave into her needs, it was, without a doubt, the best vision he had ever been blessed enough to see. To see her so hot, to watch her giving herself to him completely, it went beyond anything he could ever explain and, for whatever reason, it always sent his own need for release surging through him, testing his self control to the absolute limits.

Pushing himself up, he looked down into her eyes, a sly smile coming to his lips as his thrusts became faster, deeper, listening to her moans of pleasure as they began to fill the room, feeling her body shudder beneath him as she gave into the pleasure running through her form. Yet another cry of pleasure escaped her lips as she felt his tongue onher nipples once more, the sensitive nubs sending wave after wave of lust through her form, causing her to shudder and twitch beneath him, one leg raising to rest over his shoulder, his free hand taking hold of her wrists and pinning them behind her head as he began to thrust faster, deeper, harder, his own moans of pleasure matching hers, the only other sound that could be heard was that of skin hitting skin as his hips collided with her backside with each and every thrust of his hips. He could feel her juices coating his length, feel her walls throbbing around his aching member, her shuddering form only working to take him closer to his own release.

Pushing her leg down, he lowered himself down on to her, burying his his head into her neck, one hand sliding under her form to take hold of her backside, squeezing gently as he slowed his thrusts down, the urgent need becoming something else entirely. Lifting his head up, he looked into her eyes, rocking his hips far more slowly now, but pressing deeper with each one, letting her feel him completely inside her, rejoicing in the way her hips responded perfectly to his, without so much as a nudge in the right direction.

He tilted his head down, rubbing his nose affectionately against hers, feeling her place light, lingering kisses on his lips, all the while, they maintained eye contact, his hands moving through her hair lovingly, her hands tracng gently up and down his back, their breath mingling together once more, her perfect breasts pressed tightly against his chest, their sweat mingling together, the heat between them rising just as quickly as if they were giving into the animalistic need that they had for one another at times, rather than the very urgent need to be as close to each other as possible.

Resting his forehead against hers, he began to rock his hips faster, feeling her match his movements perfectly and feeling the tell tale shudder run through her body. He could tell by the look in her eyes that she was close, something that he was glad for, as he could feel his own climax approaching. Her cries of pleasure had become gasps, something that always happened when they made love. Yet again, it was something that he cherished about her, how, at times, she would almost scream the building down as he took her but then, at times like this, when they were closest, when they were most intimate, it was as though she kept it exactly how it should be, between the two of them, a moment where no one else could spoil anything, a moment when they were the only two people left in all the world. As much as he loved the teasing, the urgent need for release, it was moments like this that he had learned to savour in their time together, for it was moments like this that truly reinforced what they shared together. They had been together for five years already and in those five years, she had never asked him to change, she had never expected anything from him. She loved him, for being him, in his quiet, brooding moments, when he was the business man, making sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible and of course, when his need was most urgent and he pracitcally ripped her clothes from her in order to find his relief. She had turned him from the cold, heartless criiminal, into someone who actually needed her by his side, for the fear that if she was gone, he would go back to the person he once was.

Kissing her gently on the lips, he rubbed his nose against hers once more as his thrusts became shorter and deeper, feeling her back begiining to arch as she gave in to the need that was running through her form. Cupping his face gently and resting her forehead against his, she cried out softly as her climax took hold, feeling his arms wrap around her to hold her tight as she gave in to the sensations, bucking and shuddering in his tight embrace. She felt him thrust deeply one last time, holding himself deep inside her as his own release came, his hands wrapped around her body, holding her in place, letting her feel his length throb and twitch as the waves of his release rushed through his form, making him feel as though his entire being was on fire.

Panting softly, they shared a slow, deep kiss, Levi's hands running over her sides affectionately, hers caressing his back gently as each began to come down from the intensity of their climaxes, their eyes locking once more as their foreheads met once again.

'I love you Levi...that was...'

Levi placed a gentle kiss on her lips to silence her.

'I love you too Ella...'

Placing a gentle kiss on her shoulder, he pulled her into a very tight hug, one that she returned willingly, even if she was slightly puzzled by this display, because, even for Levi, this was very strange behaviour.

'What's wrong?' She whispered this into his ear, not wanting to ruin the moment by pulling away from him. He was silent for a long while before he whispered back to her.

'That was the last time we would be together, here, the last time we can be together so freely at least. I wanted it to be special.'

Ella pulled back from him at this point and pushed him into a sitting position, moving over to straddle him and cup his face gently.

'Even if we have to go a year without being together, even if we have to go a year without seeing each other, there is nothing and no one in this world that could ever make me feel anything differently about you.'

Once again, silence fell between them, her eyes looking into his icy depths, her hands running slowly through his hair before a smirk came to his lips.

'Tch, idiot, I knew all that. You don't have to get all soft on me you know...jeez...'

Grinning softly, he found her lips once more, pulling her tight to him as he did do.
