She woke up to a buzzed feeling and a severe pounding in her head. Kim hadn't gotten drunk since the accident, so the drinks she had during the party were enough to leave her wasted.

Her bedroom was still dark, something she was more than grateful for, and her bed was empty. She had a vague idea that when she arrived at her place it was with Adam by her side, but she wasn't sure what had happened afterwards. Kim lifted the bedsheets and took a look underneath finding herself in her underwear and didn't exactly remember when or how her dress came off.

"My Bond Girl is up." Adam said softly as he opened the bedroom door with his foot, since his hands were carrying two cups of coffee and some aspirin.

"You're here." She said smiling, softly running her right hand through her face in an attempt to brush away the sleep and the headache.

"Of course I am." He walked over to the bed, sitting on the edge right next to her and chuckled a little when he saw her eyes roaming over his bare chest. "Here, take this, it'll help." Adam gave her the mug and the aspirin.

"Gosh. I'm never drinking again." She exhaled before taking what her man was offering.

"Oh, it wasn't that bad."

Kim rolled her eyes. "Well, it was a total waste of outfits. I had something else planned for last night."

"Well darlin, let me tell you that you did try to make good use of those looks."

"What did I do?" She asked embarrassed. "Please tell me I didn't make a scene in the middle of the party.

Adam just chuckled, not helping her nerves at all. "Adam, speak now."

"Relax, Belle. You were a proper lady during the party, but when we got home. Dear Lord." He looked up and started fanning himself for air with his left hand. "I was tested by the lord last night and I'm proud to say I aced my test. I'm such a gentleman." He closed his eyes as he sported an all knowing look.

"I'm so sorry." She apologized with a scrunched up face.

"Hey, nothing to be sorry about. I was pretty buzzed too, we wouldn't have gotten far anyway."

"I guess." She sounded disappointed and tried to hide it with a sip of her coffee, but Adam picked that up in the blink of an eye.

"Babe, this isn't only about getting drunk, is it?"

"I just." She started to fiddle with the fabric of the bedsheets. "I don't like the feeling of not remembering. I guess it's triggering. I don't know." She shrugged her shoulders and looked at him with big puppy eyes.

"Aw, baby. That thought never crossed my mind. I'm sorry you feel that." He scooted closer to her and was quick to wrap her in a hug and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm sorry you have to deal with all my crap."

"Kim, I love having all of this to deal with, because it means that I have you and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Do you hear me?" She nodded. "And for the record, I'm honored to be the one that's with you in this journey, so don't you ever apologize for that again." She nodded again before he held her face with both his hands and planted a kiss on her lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"And if you want, when you're feeling better I can tell you all about last night so you can put the pieces together."

She smiled. His caring heart never ceased to surprise her. "I know I've said this a lot, but you're such an amazing man, Adam. I'm so lucky to have you."

"I'm luckier, Belle." Another kiss in the lips sealed that precious moment they were sharing. "Now, you're gonna stay in bed and I'm going to bring the rest of our breakfast here."

"Ooohh, yes. I'm starving."

"I figured. There's a lot of carbs and grease coming your way to absorb all that alcohol." He joked, making her blush. Adam lived for those rosy cheeks.

They had breakfast in bed, just like the detective had planned. They cuddled and kissed and just enjoyed the lightness of their company.

Both of them were too tired to rush out of bed, so they stayed there until the stillness started to itch.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked, concerned.

"Much. The food, the aspirin and, of course, your snuggles worked magic on me." She stretched her arms over her head, getting ready to start the day. "I was thinking maybe a shower would help as well."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

She chuckled at the tone of his voice.

"Wanna join me?"

"I wasn't contemplating any other scenario, really." He said with a cocky smile as he quickly got out of bed and walked around it to scoop his girlfriend off the mattress and carry her bridal style to the shower. "As you can see my groomsman duties are not over yet."

"Oh, thank god. I've been meaning to scratch 'hook up with a hot groomsman' off my bucket list since last night."

"You might have mentioned that a couple of times."

"Only to you?"

"Only to me, and as soon as we crossed your apartment door. So you can relax, everyone thinks you're a good and sweet girl." His comment earned him a playful slap in the shoulder, causing him to laugh. "You do know I love that about you, right?"

"What? Me slapping you?"

"Well, sometimes I really enjoy that." He chuckled. "But I meant that duality that you have. You're this sweet and kind girl, but when we're alone you turn into…" He paused for a second trying to find the right word to use. "Pure fire." He put her down, trapping her between the bathroom countertop and his body. His face was an inch away from hers, making her breath speed up. "You feel the fire too, don't you?" His voice was a seductive whisper and she could only nod in response. "I thought so." Adam closed the short distance between them, placing one of his hands on the curve of her waist and his warm soft lips on hers.

"Wait." She slightly pulled back, placing her right hand in the middle of his chest.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes." She nodded with a smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, babe." She pecked his neck softly. "I just need to go get something. I'll be right back."

"Ok. I'll get the water running."

Adam got down to work, adjusting the faucet to get the perfect temperature for their shower. She took so long to get back to him that the room was being invaded by the steam coming from the hot water.

"Oh, Mr. Bond…" Her voice was teasing and when he turned around, his jaw dropped. Kim was leaning against the doorframe, wearing the lavender dress she had chosen for the party. "Do you mind reminding me what went on last night?"

"Why think about last night if we can do it right now?" He took the steps that we're keeping him away from her and held her face giving her a bruising kiss. "You look so hot in that dress. I spent a lot of time last night thinking about getting you out of it though."

"Same, detective. Same. Tuxedos and uniforms really suit you, and they bring out the most primitive side of me."

"Do you want me to get dressed up too?" He asked with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes.

"Hmmm, I don't really want to wait any longer." She crushed his lips placing a hand on his chest and sliding to his shoulder and down his back. She loved doing that, having her hands roam over his body and feeling the way his skin reacted to her touch and how her own muscles melted when he was around.

The hot water was running, steaming up the whole room but neither of them seemed to care about that. The only important thing at that precise moment was their connection, their lips touching, their tongues dancing and that sweet embrace.

Adam didn't keep his hands to himself either. As the kiss began to heat up, his caress went straight to her back, cupping her bum and trying to scrunch up the fabric of the dress to reach the bottom hem and pull it up to her hips, only to leave her legs at plain sight and it didn't take long for him to achieve it.

As he kept kissing her, his body pushed her towards the sink counter once more and it wasn't really planned, his body was steering him in the right direction to get their desires fulfilled. Once he had her still, his hands moved into her inner thigh, just slowly moving up and down, making her drown her moans into their kisses.

His lips slowly began to change their course, kissing her jawline, her earlobe, where he allowed his tongue to play a little, making Kim shiver and whisper out his name. His lips kept moving down to find her neck and with the help of his free right hand, he pulled down the strap to kiss her shoulder without restrain.

His left hand, however, was still caressing her thighs up and down, gently and slowly, but every time it went up just a little bit further, which was starting to drive the brunette crazy, but she never complained, all she did was enjoy the moment and let her body react to his stimuli.

His girlfriend's moaning and heavy breathing wasn't the only thing telling him how turned on she was.

When his left hand finally reached his goal, he realized she wasn't wearing any underwear, which made him lose his mind, but he didn't want to say anything. There was something about this quiet and mysterious mood that was so sexy and he didn't want to ruin it using words. Why speak when their bodies were doing all the work wonderfully?

His index finger sliding easily through her folds allowed him to feel her moisture, which only meant how much she was enjoying it, and how much she was craving her man.

Adam's hands now had a completely different goal. He held on firmly to her hips and in one swift movement he sat her on the counter, pushing her dress up her thighs and using his one knee to spread her legs wide open. Kissed her lips fiercely, before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and giving her a smug smirk, hinting exactly was going on in his head.

He knelt before her, grabbing her knees to find support and began to leave soft kisses on her legs, dedicating special attention to her scar, showing her how much he loved every part of her, even the ones she didn't like herself.

His lips softly brushed against her inner thighs, sending shivers all over her body, letting him know that he was on the right track. He kept kissing his girl with devotion until he reached her core, tasting her and entering the most amazing state of bliss.

Kim was doing her best not to fall undone, one of her hands was holding her steady and the other gently traveled to the back of his head, tangling her delicate finger in his hair and guiding his every move. It wasn't long until her body started to tremble thanks to her man's dedication.

Their bodies were covered in shimmering sweat, and their breathing was evening out when Adam started

to move upwards to leave a soft peck on her lips.

"Damn I wish last night had been like that." He finally broke the silence, making her blush.

"I don't think this is over just yet, detective."

She slid down the counter, using his shoulders as support. Once her feet felt the safety of the floor her hands went straight to his boxers, stripping him out of the only piece of garment he was wearing, and of course, he followed her lead, getting rid of her dress the best way he could.

Seeing her breasts could only be matched to seeing a treasure, he couldn't help his eyes wandering over her chest and Kim sure was enjoying the look on his face as well.

Although she was trying to get him to move, his eagerness had other plans. His hands moved out of their own volition cupping her breasts as he began to drop kisses on her collarbone.

"I have no idea how I managed to live before meeting you." He whispered softly, causing her to laugh. "What? I'm being dead serious right now." He looked at her straight in the eye. "I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

She cradled his face in her hands and pressed her lips against him with firmness and passion. The brief distraction lowered Adam's guard and allowed her to do what she has been trying for the last few minutes. Change his position. She started to walk pushing him with her body, until they bumped into the toilet. However she could, Kim managed to lower the lid and push Adam on the seat only for her to straddle him, hugging his neck with her arms.

They started kissing again, intensely and playfully. His hands were once more going up and down her back, and the delicate nibbling on his earlobe was working him up so much, Kim was starting to feel his erection grow against her.

She took one hand away from his neck and slid it between their bodies, wanting to wrap his manhood with her fingers.

The growl that came out of his lips when he felt her touch was loud, hoarse, seductive and music to Kim's ears. She knew he liked it.

She looked for stability, placing her feet on the floor, and got up just a little, adjusting her position to lower herself into him.

They both moaned when they felt their connection, Kim bouncing on top of him, trying to give back some of the pleasure he had provided earlier. And they kept their dance going until they both reached their release.

Kim's head resting on the crook of his neck, while he kept kissing her shoulders.

"I don't ever want to leave this moment." She said sweetly as her fingertips traced imaginary lines on his arm.

"Me neither, Belle. The good news is that we have all the time we want ahead of us."
