10. The Girl Who Fell on Earth

Winter in Russia was worse than ever and Oliver felt like being punished, even if he had many layers of clothes on, and had only his eyes uncovered. He deserved, he thought, after thinking about why he was in Russia in the first place.

Anatoly, his former friend that was the head of the Bratva, the Russian mob, had declared war against Star City a year ago because Oliver refused to keep his part of their deal when Oliver needed his help. He understood why Anatoly was pissed and he knew that would happen the minute he decided to stop the Russian from doing what he was doing in Star City back then. It was not like he had a choice, it was his city, and he was its Mayor. He had to stop him, especially now things were worse than ever.

Oliver traveled to Russia to get important information that could help bring Anatoly down, inside information from a reliable source. Oliver did not trust easy when he received a call from a guy who knew and worked for Anatoly but was sick and tired and wanted to get him out of his way. There was no way Oliver would kill him, but to take away his power from the mob, it seemed like a good idea. He just had to meet the guy and see it for himself before doing anything, because it could backfire and the life of the ones he loved the most could be in danger.

He just went out for a drink and walked back to a cabin he rented, isolated from the city, in the middle of the woods, that now were covered in snow just so he wouldn't attract curious eyes; he needed discretion since he was a public figure. Looking up, he saw a strange figure lying on the snow. Oliver walked slowly closer to the person, with his retractable bow and an arrow on his hands, trying to be careful because it could be a trap. He was ready to shoot when he walked closer and saw a piece of blonde hair. He kneeled down and took the snow off that person just to see a woman in a weird suit, which looked like a super hero suit, and unconscious.

What the hell? He thought. How could this woman be here, unconscious? And it was cold, really cold and she was wearing a red skirt, half her legs covered by tights that looked really thin. He looked worried and took her in his arms, bringing her quickly inside his cabin.

He put her gently on the couch and took some wood from the stash he had for emergencies and threw them in the fireplace. The warmth of the fire spread quickly through the small living room ah Oliver felt comfortable enough to take his jacket and gloves off, kneeling near her and caressing slightly her face, worried about what happened and if she was going to wake up.

- Hey? Can you hear me?

He looked around and took a heavy blanket from the closet on the bed room and covered the woman with it. He had no idea how she wasn't dying from hypothermia yet, but was glad she was alive.

She opened her eyes slowly, trying to figure out where she was. She looked at Oliver and jumped in scare.

- Who are you? Where am I?

- I'm Oliver and…

- What do you want with me? – She yelled, really scared and suddenly almost gave Oliver a heart attack when she floated on air, like she was flying and her eyes turned red out of sudden, with rays coming out of them.

Oliver managed to avoid being hurt by that ray and felt really uneasy. She was a meta human, something like that? Great, he thought. He took a deep breath ah raised both his hands up.

- Hey… I'm not your enemy…

- How am I here?

She felt dizzy out of sudden and sat down. This wasn't normal, she thought, trying to remember what happened.

- I found you, unconscious outside my cabin… We are in Russia!

- Russia? How…

- I'm here on business… I was coming back from a meeting on a bar nearby and found you here. Do you remember what happened?

- I…

She tried to think about it.

- What's your name?

- I'm Supergirl!

- Supergirl? Oh… You are the alien super hero Barry found when he accidentally went to your Earth?

- What?

She looked at him confused and started remembering a few things. Barry came to her Earth and saved her when she fell from a building, so that man in front of her knew the Flash and about her? And by the looks of it, she was in another Earth. Everything just got even more confusing.

Suddenly, a few flashes of memories started to pop up on her mind.

- I am on Barry's Earth… - She said as she looked to the ground – How do you know Barry?

- I am the Green Arrow.

Kara started remembering when Barry asked her if she knew anything about Black Canary, Green Arrow, Zoom… Now everything was starting to make sense to her.

- Oh… So you are the friend who trained him?

- Yes.

Oliver looked at Kara, never feeling so lost in his life. That was a really weird situation and it took a lot to make him feel like that. He'd experienced magic, meta humans, super stronger soldiers but aliens… Aliens were another level.

- I'm… I'm not really sure what happened… I remember a fight. A huge fight… The DEO was packed with agents from Cadmus disguised as government agents… There was a red robot or something like that… And I fell through a blue hole that appeared out of nowhere… I think someone sent me here on purpose. – She looked at Oliver, blushing and feeling embarrassed – I'm sorry… About attacking you…

- That's ok. – Oliver smiled, feeling relived she accepted he was someone trying to help instead of a threat. – I would do the same if I were you. I did it once, to Barry, actually.

Kara looked surprised at him.

- Really?

- Yes… I was poisoned and according to my team, I was dying and Barry had knowledge that could save my life, so they told him my secret. It was before he became The Flash. I woke up and saw him in my bunker; I just jumped from the tabled and nearly choked him. I was pissed with my team for telling him my secret, because I can't trust people and put them in danger… But it was necessary. Funnily enough, we became friends later and I helped him when he got powers.

- That's nice of you… Not the choking part, but… - She smiled and sat on the couch – Any friend of Barry is also a friend of mine.

- I'm glad – He smiled back at her.

Kara started shaking violently out of sudden, giving Oliver a hell of a scare. She looked at him, terror written all over her face.

- I… Don't… Cold…

Oliver ran to the bedroom and grabbed three more blankets and put around her, grabbing her shoulders slightly.

- You need to warm up. Come by the fire.

- This is so weird… I never feel cold; I'm immune to cold or heat… I think… I think my powers are off…

- What's your real name? – Oliver said as he looked closely at her.

- Kara… Kara Danvers

- Ok, Kara. I'm going to wrap one more blanket around you and bring more wood to the fireplace, so it can help you get warmer ok?

- O…Oh…

Kara tried to answer but felt dizzy once again, passing out on the floor, near the fireplace. Oliver's reflexes were fast so he could grab her before she hit the floor. He looked worried at her and had no idea how else he could help her. She was an alien and apparently was having problems with her powers, possibly losing them for a while. How do you take care of an alien in that situation? He thought. He looked at her face while embracing her with all those blankets in his arms.

He looked at her face, finding it hard to believe she was actually an alien. Besides her powers, she seemed so human; he could never ever have guessed if she hadn't told him. Barry told him about her once, when he got to visit her. He said she was an awesome super hero and really cute and had a huge heart. He could see she was cute, for sure, and the rest he would have to see for himself. First, he needed to wake her up.

- Kara? – He caressed her face slowly.

Kara started moving her fingers and opened her eyes slowly. She was starting to feel warmer now and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes, was Oliver's deep blue eyes on her. She felt goosebumps and lost with her thoughts for a while before realizing she was not ok.

- You passed out again…

- My powers are off… - She told him, trying to sit properly in front of the fireplace and being helped by Oliver. – I remember now what attacked me. It was Red Tornado, a robot being that can mess with my powers because of the red solar radiation. It happened once…

- You lost your powers temporarily while lying on the snow outside then. You were becoming blue when I reached you.

- I felt really cold… But… - She looked at him – now my body feels a bit better, thank you.

Oliver got up and helped her get up, bringing her back to the couch as he saw some color showing on her cheeks.

- I need to go back to my Earth… But I don't know how and…

Kara reached for her forehead and noticed she was bleeding. She looked terrified to her hand.

- Another thing that never happens to you, I guess.

- Yes. – She looked at him – Am I too bruised?

- A little. There's a small cut on your forehead, I will help you with that.

Oliver took his first aid kit and started on what he knew best, taking care of bruises and blood. Kara hissed as Oliver stitched her forehead.

- I'm sorry.

- That's ok. I'm just not used to pain like this… - She gave a small laugh – It will come out after I regain my powers, so it's ok.

- Listen… We are in Russia right now, and even if I got everything that I came for, and are ready to leave to Star City, it's ugly outside…

Oliver pulled the curtains, showing Kara the window. There was an ugly snowstorm and there was no way they could ever get out of there at the moment.

- Are we snowed in?

- Yes. But, after the storm passes, I can take you to Barry so he can help you come back home. He told me how you helped him and there are brilliant people in Star Labs that can help you as well. Deal?

- Ok.

Kara smiled, still feeling worried about her family and friends back on her Earth and Cadmus attacking everyone back there, but there was nothing she could do right now. She couldn't get herself killed because many people relied on her. She felt frustrated.

It did not take long for the whole cabin feel really warm thanks to the fireplace. After cooking dinner for both of them and chatting for a while, Oliver took Kara in his arms when she fell asleep on the couch and brought her to the bedroom, laying her on the bed and covering her with all the blankets once again. He walked towards the nice chair that was near the bed and sat there. It was a comfy one, so he just grabbed a blanket and tried to get some sleep, except he couldn't.

He couldn't stop watching Kara sleep peacefully. He was really glad he could help her and she was feeling better by the second. Her memory seemed a bit off but he was sure she would recover quickly. He trusted her words that it didn't take long the last time, so he just kept watching her sleep. He could also think clearly now and couldn't help but notice she was a really beautiful woman. When he was a kid, he had a different vision of aliens, and now he could see how wrong he was, and the movies he used to watch. She was also a super hero.

That was what made him think about many things. About how refreshing was to find someone similar to him, in the saving the city, risking your life and making sacrifices aspect of it. She told him a bit about her planet and how she got on Earth before falling asleep and Oliver could only imagine how hard it must have been for her.

Kara woke up slowly and her eyes met Oliver's, making her blush a little. She sat on the bed and looked around the room.

- Were you sleeping there?

- Yes. I brought you here so you could be more comfortable.

- I appreciate it, Oliver but this couch is so small. You must be hurting…

- Nothing I couldn't handle. Don't worry about me. – He smiled to her.

- Don't be silly… There is still plenty of room here.

Kara pointed to her empty side of the bed and looked at him, insisting. Oliver got up and reached for the bed.

- If it will make you feel better, ok… - He said, feeling defeated.

- Thank you – She smiled.

There were 3 layers of heavy and warm blankets above them, as Oliver adjusted himself by Kara's side. The bed was not that big so they had to squeeze a bit closer to each other. Kara looked at him, in silence, thinking about how handsome and gentle Oliver was. She felt lucky because she could end up anywhere and she landed up with a fellow super hero, a friend.

A handsome and kind friend.

Oliver dreamt about something peaceful for the first time in a long time when he felt the bed shaking it. It wasn't actually the bed, as he could see when he opened his eyes; it was Kara, moving her head from one side to another, really agitated like she was having the worst nightmare.

- NO! – She yelled, waking up abruptly

- Kara? – Oliver almost jumped from the bed, reaching for her shoulders.

- NO, PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS! – She kept yelling and looking scared at Oliver. – I'm sorry, I was… - Her eyes were wide as she mumbled.

- It's ok… It was just a bad dream. – He said while caressing her shoulders, trying to calm her down.

- It was … So real… I was being tortured and… It hurt… It was really scary, and I'm never afraid of anything!

- It was not real; it was only a really bad dream… Hey… - Oliver said as he watched a few tears forming in her eyes. – What is it?

- Sometimes I have nightmares and I see my parents on them…

Oliver looked at Kara, knowing exactly the feeling. It was terrible, it was heartbreaking and he never really learned how to deal with it properly.

- I can know the feeling… My mom and my dad died as well… I still have a hard time coping with this.

- If you don't mind me asking, how did they die?

Oliver adjusted himself on the bed, sitting beside Kara as he thought about it. He never felt ok sharing his traumas and dark stories with people, especially people he barely knew. But given the fact Kara knew what it was like to live this dangerous life and the fact that she also had nightmares, he felt she could understand him better than many people who knew him.

- I went on a boat trip with my father and my ex-girlfriend's sister…

- Your ex-girlfriend's sister?

- Yes… I was a jerk back then, not proud of it. – He looked at Kara thinking about how he would do things differently if he could. – I was a frat boy, a playboy rich guy that thought he could do anything and get away with it.

- What made you change?

- The island… We ship wrecked and there was my dad, a crew member and I on a life boat. My dad shot the guy and then killed himself so I could have a chance of survival. He asked me to save the city and right his wrongs. So I ended up on an island for 5 years, thinking Sara was dead, remembering what my dad did and what he asked me and trying to survive. A lot had happened since then, not nice things.

- Oh… - Kara said as she analyzed Oliver's face. He had regret, trauma and sadness written all over. She felt really bad for him and suddenly curious to learn more about that mysterious hero. – And… Your mom?

- On the island, I met a man named Slade Wilson. We became friends and I also met the daughter of the guy who saved me on my first day on the island, Shado. She taught me a lot. Slade taught a lot as well. Shado and I ended up getting involved, but Slade liked her as well… I actually think he loved her. So after a while, I found Sara on a cargo ship. She had been through a lot as well and we ended up meeting Slade and Shado again, so we could try to get away from the island. The leader of the ship was a doctor called Ivo; he was looking for a drug called Mirakuru, to save his dying wife. Sara was helping him because he rescued her, but she turned on him to help us. He was pissed. So he found us on the island, Slade was injured and recovering on a plane wreckage far away from where we were, so he never saw what happened. Ivo made me chose between Shado and Sara; he wanted me to pick one of them to die. And I couldn't… So he tried to kill Sara. I stood in front of her and he shot Shado.

- Oh my Rao…

- Rao? – Oliver looked confused at her

- Rao is a divine entity of the kryptonian religion…

- Like a God?

- Yes.

- Oh, ok.

- So… What happened then?

Kara bent her knees, hugging them as she listened to Oliver's story.

- Slade found out later and since he had Mirakuru on his body because he almost died and I saved him with the drug we found, he lost it. We fought and I thought I had killed him. But I was wrong. 3 years ago he came back and got closer to my family before I could stop him. He kidnapped my sister and told her I was the vigilante of Star City. The other night, I was with my mom and my sister on the car and he caused an accident to get a hold on us, and make me choose between them exactly like Ivo did on the island.

- He made you choose between your sister and your mom? He was a monster!

- Yes, he was. All under the influence of the drug, but it was still him… And I couldn't just pick one of them, how could I? So my mom got up and sacrificed herself to save Thea.

- She chose for you?

- She offered herself to him and he drove a sword through her heart, right in front of my eyes.

- Oliver… This is cruelty!

- I know… So I often have nightmares since then…

Kara looked at her foot on the bed as she thought about everything that Oliver told her. She suffered enough knowing she had to leave her parents behind on Krypton, knowing it would explode and kill them. She could never imagine how she could possibly deal with life if she had been through half what Oliver have been through.

- That island was cruelty. It changed me… I stopped being the rich playboy and became a deadly weapon. Because when I first started this, every criminal I found, I killed. It was natural to me; I never felt remorse because I thought it was necessary. Until the day my best friend called me a murderer and died a few days after it. I felt guilty for his death and decided to do things differently, to honor him.

- We all make mistakes, Oliver… And we all learn. Sometimes it takes painful moments for us to be able to, but sooner or later, it happens. – She reached for his arm and he looked at her – You are really strong for handling all of that and still finding strength to be a hero…

- I'm not a hero.

- Yes, you are. If you worry about others and risk your life to help people you are a hero to me. Even with no super powers. A good heart it's all that takes, not someone's abilities.

- Thank you. – Oliver smiled feeling touched by her words.

Oliver refused to believe he was a hero because he was surrounded by darkness. He had made ugly things to accomplish his goals in saving his city, he was not proud of it at all, but it made him feel less and less a hero. Thinking about Kara's words, made some sense. It was true; he had nothing to rely on except his experience, fighting skills and knowledge. It counted for something.

- The storm's still strong outside – He looked to the window feeling worried about the storm. They were stuck on that cabin until God knows when and Kara was still having issues with her powers going on and off. – I'm going to take a shower…

Oliver got up and went to the bathroom. Kara lay down again, covering herself since her powers were still crazy and every now and then she felt really cold. She couldn't wait for it to be over; she missed being able to fly, run really fast and not feel cold at all. At least, she was in good company, she thought. Oliver Queen was a box full of surprises. She wondered if Barry knew about all of this, but she had a feeling Oliver was not the type of person who opened up easily.

Oliver got out of the shower wearing dark pants, shirtless. Inside the cabin was a bit warmer now that he added more woods to the fireplace. He got distracted working on it and Kara couldn't help but look to his bare back. It was full of bruises and scars, no regular person could have all of this and still be alive, she thought. She turned her back to him before he could get up and be back on the bed. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, feeling her heart racing. It was really weird, she never felt like this before and she couldn't help but wonder if Oliver's presence there was having any effect on her now that her powers were off again. It suddenly came back quickly, long enough for her to be able to hear his heartbeat. It was not a regular one. She turned her head to the side only to see him sitting on the bed beside her.

- Good night – He said in a low voice.

- Good night. – Kara replied, feeling him lying beside her on the bed.

Oliver pushed the covers to his waist and lay on his side, with his back to Kara. His heart was behaving weirdly and he thought it was safer if he couldn't look at her now. She had sweetness on her eyes while he told her about his dark past and she never judged him while he told her that he used to kill before. He guessed she could see through him, at least it was how he felt as she looked at him.

Kara couldn't sleep. Turned around slowly, facing Oliver's back and looking closer to his scars and bruises. She wondered how he got them and thought about a few theories in her head. She never got scars herself because of her healing powers, but she remembered being tortured with green kryptonite. She knew it hurt, if she wasn't Supergirl, she would have died. She almost died because she was exposed for too long, but she was saved so she could heal and have only bad memories about that day. She wondered what was like for Oliver, to look in the mirror and see all of that, forcing him to remember all his worse days. She couldn't help but admire him a bit more for it. She shivered and trembled and Oliver noticed it, turning around and facing her.

- Are you ok?

- I felt a wave of cold out of sudden… It's warm inside the room, but still… I don't know why…

She looked at him and Oliver could tell she wanted to tell him something, but was shy about it because her face turned really red.

- What? – He smiled at her as an encouragement

- I just… I thought about something that could work, but you will probably think I'm crazy or something, we barely know each other…

- Let me be the one to decide if I think you're crazy or not? – He said giving her a small laugh, thinking that was the most adorable scene he ever saw.

- They say… scientists… That sometimes in situations like this, body heat helps… Not in severe cases, but…

- Oh…

Oliver looked at her with a surprised look in his face. He thought about it before but could never bring himself to suggest it, fearing Kara would get the wrong picture. He looked at her, bringing his body closer to hers.

- You know how this works… - Kara said as she gave him a nervous laugh – My powers are on and off so often a feel really cold, but not in an extreme point so if you feel uncomfortable with it that's ok…

- It's not that… - Oliver said as he looked at her – I thought about this earlier but…

- You thought I was going to take it the wrong way?

- Basically… I mean, you almost fried me when you woke up – He joked, making Kara laugh.

- That's fair…

- I'll turn around so you can… You know.

- Thank you for being a gentleman. – She teased him, smiling.

Oliver turned around and Kara started taking her clothes off. She would never do anything like this in a normal day, but thanks to her alien physiology and the fact she got affected by Red Tornado with another Solar Flare, everything was off and they were in the middle of a strong and violent snow storm in Russia. If she had her powers full on, she would do something about it, but she couldn't risk it. Oliver was human and even if he was strong and said he could handle dangerous situations; he could die out there. She had just her suit with her, except the cape that was on the couch. She took the top, then the skirt, then her tights, her bra following. She decided to let her panties on and pushed the covers until it reached her chin. In this meantime, Oliver removed his pants and waited.

- You can turn around now – Kara said shivering a bit more.

He turned around; facing her and Kara looked at him blushing. That was awkward, he thought. They looked at each other and Oliver smiled at her.

- Come closer – He whispered to her and she moved a bit closer to him.

Oliver's hand reached Kara's back and he brought her closer to him. Kara felt her chest touching his and she could feel the heat of his skin. Suddenly she was well aware they were naked together and felt really nervous.

- You're hot… I mean – Kara blushed once she realized what she said and covered her mouth, laughing – Your skin… How?

- The water from the shower was really hot it almost burned my skin and then I spent a few minutes in front of the fireplace. This cabin is protected because the owner told me it can reach -50 degrees Celsius here. So I was able to keep warm.

- If I were human, I would be too, but… At least I know it will be ok soon… - She told him as she looked into his eyes.

They were extremely close now, her nose inches from his.

- Thank you for doing this, by the way – She said in a low voice.

- You're welcome. I'm glad I can be helpful.

- You are.

Kara felt the warmth of Oliver's body embracing her own body. She couldn't help blushing since they were half naked and practically glued to each other. Kara knew it was for an extremely urgent reason, but she couldn't stop thinking about how strong he was, all the muscles of his body embracing her and keeping her warm, or trying to at least. His arms were around her, his both hands on her bare back. Her arms were bent, almost stuck between their chests while her hands were on his arms. He closed his eyes as he smelled the scent of her hair, trying to stay focused and calm. Her skin was really soft against his hands and he started caressing her back, warming it. He could feel her chest against his and tried to think about anything that could make that moment easier. He struggled inside and felt a huge desire for her taking over him. This was worse than any torture he had handled before, for sure.

Kara brought her lips slowly towards his neck and pressed them on his skin. Oliver closed his eyes even more strongly, taking a deep breath.

- Kara? – He whispered

- Hum? – She said as she felt his waist pressing against hers involuntary, his hands holding her tight

- What are you doing? – He exhaled, feeling her lips giving small kisses in his neck, electricity taking over all of him.

- I was curious… - She said innocently while looking at him.

Oliver opened his eyes and met Kara's eyes on his with an angelical expression on her face, but her eyes were on fire, a really dark blue and she looked serious at him.

- About?

- You …

She bit her lower lip looking directly at his lips and the sight made Oliver feel like he couldn't fight against what he was feeling anymore.

- Kara…

He whispered as he felt her hand traveling down his body.

- And us here…

- And?

Kara smiled when she saw the tiny half smile Oliver gave her. She could tell he was trying his best to hold back. He was indeed a gentleman, she thought.

- I think it's working… - She brought her lips back to the base of his neck. She felt Oliver's hot breath near her ear.

Oliver hugged Kara back, feeling her fully against him now. He took a few breaths as they looked into each other.

- Better? – He asked

- Yes! – She said as Oliver's hands went for her cheeks, caressing it.

Kara's hip pressed against his and Oliver held her waist strongly, making his body cover hers. He wasted no time, his lips fully invading hers, his tongue slowly massaging hers. Their skin rubbing each other's felt like pure fire. With no warning, he attacked her lips with his and they loved each other for a long time, all night long.

- That was… - Kara said as she tried to regain her breathing while Oliver collapsed above her.

- Not the end… - He said to her ear, kissing the base of it.

Something about Kara made Oliver feel more alive than ever, even after what they just did together. Oliver felt his heart racing for that beautiful and sweet woman. Kara looked back at him, their foreheads almost touching. They looked into each other eyes and Kara blushed, giggling.

- I never do this… I mean… You know…

- I know what you mean… - He smiled at her

- It feels so right… And so good – She said as she felt him kissing her cheeks once again, caressing the other side of it with his hands

- You're so cute. I could hug you and kiss you all day long.

Kara smiled, her finger contouring his lips.

- You… are driving me crazy – He exhaled.

Oliver held her hands, and brought them to his lips, kissing each finger and the palm of her hand. He never thought he would ever meet someone that he could be himself with.

Stop it, Oliver, he told himself. He could not fall for her. Not now. She lived in another Earth and he knew no way of reaching her there. He never thought about it, actually. Before meeting Barry and everyone in Star Labs, he thought the world was just that: a huge place there in the universe. He never thought about multiple Earths and stuff like that, and his life was complicated already, he couldn't complicate it even more. There was no point fighting it, because he was already ruined and he knew it.

After a while, she lay by his side on the bed, resting her head on his shoulder, caressing his stomach and trying to breathe properly.

- I want to see you again – He bluntly said to her

Kara turned her head to look into his eyes.

- How can I see you again? – He asked her, caressing her hair.

- I don't know… We can ask Barry's team later…

- I surely will. Do you… Want to?

Kara looked sweetly at Oliver. She caressed his cheeks and hair and smiled at him.

- Really badly! – She whispered to him. – I'm so glad I fell on your Earth and that you found me. I could be anywhere now, but I fell here…

- I'm glad too. – He looked at her and kissed her forehead – I never thought I could really trust someone to open up like I did with you… Almost no one knows what happened to me. I just… I can't trust them… But you… I don't know what it is, but I feel I can trust my life to you…

- Well, I am invincible, so… - Kara teased him, making him laugh – Not right now, but I usually am… By the way… Thanks for taking care of me and being such a sweet guy.

- I did what I thought it was the right thing to do. – He looked at her bright eyes, feeling like for the first time in his life he was truly and completely happy.

- And sorry again I attacked you…

- Don't worry, Kara. You were defending yourself and lost. It's ok.

- Thank you for keeping me warm… I told you it was a crazy idea, but…

- I regret nothing.

He could notice the scared look on her face, like she feared he was going to regret something that happened. He felt like reassuring her was not the case. He also had his worries about what she was feeling right now, but the way she looked at him told him everything he needed to know.

- Good. – She said, her lips reaching for kiss as she gave him one more kiss.

She turned around with her back at him and felt Oliver's hand embracing her, resting it on her abs and caressing it slowly. Her hand covered his and she caressed it as well, closing slowly her eyes, feeling his calm breath on her neck.

She couldn't have asked for better warmth.
