Ruth woke up and instantly felt wide awake. She brushed her hair out of her face and glanced to her left. She was shocked to see Harry there. They hadn't been together all that long and everyday when she woke up she was convinced she had been dreaming. She knew it was going to take a long time for her to get used to this new reality. She looked at the clock and was surprised to see it was only five to six in the morning. She'd been waking up earlier recently, now that her nights weren't spent wanting or worrying about Harry anymore. As she'd woken up early, she thought, she might as well enjoy herself.

Her hand snaked over Harry's thigh waiting for the touch that would wake him from his sleep. Her other hand stroked his neck, moving lower over his chest in a teasing touch. It took maybe a minute for him to jerk awake with Ruth's fingertips drawing confusing patterns on his chest. "Mm," he said in a satisfied sigh before opening his eyes. "Oh, don't stop," he added as her touch slowed now that he was conscious. She smiled and continued what she had been doing, much to his pleasure. After a minute he was about to protest when her touch left him but changed his mind as her mouth replaced her hands. As she kissed him, his hands were in her hair, urging her to continue which she did eagerly. Eventually her lips found his and she gave him her now customary wake up kiss.

"Good morning," she murmured happily as her breasts pushed against his skin.

"Yes it is," he agreed as his hands traced over her smooth back luxuriously. "What did I do to receive such a welcome wake up call?" Harry asked as her head rested on his chest.

"I remembered what my life was like before you. Before we were us," Ruth started sadly. "I was so lonely for so long Harry. I never want too feel like that again."

"You won't," he said firmly and with reassurance. He lifted her head so he was looking into her gorgeous blue eyes. "I promise, I'll never let you be lonely again."

"I know that," she said before kissing him once more.

"You do realise we have at least two hours before we have to be at work," Harry said. "I could have done with a little more sleep."

"I thought we could have a more entertaining hour in bed if you were awake," Ruth replied. She couldn't help the blush that stained her cheeks and Harry thought her completely adorable in that second.

"That sounds perfect." Harry said sincerely. By the time he kissed her, her blush had completely vanished from her pale skin.

L is for lonely. This one kind of went off on a fluffy tangent but its all good HR stuff so I hope you still enjoy it. O suggestions would be very welcome! Please review xxx
