"This time..."

"Kai, you promised me you wouldn't, and I trust that you won't. It'll be okay, okay?" She whispered, leaning up to kiss him.

Kai nodded, kissing her

Lorelei smiled, pulling away and cuddling in to his chest again, tracing her fingers and nails along his chest.

"Sleep, my love" He murmured softly

Lorelei smiled softly and nodded. "I love you," he whispered.

"I love you more, darling" He murmured, staying awake to keep her safe

Lorelei smiled, drifting off in his arms.

Kai just ran his hand slowly up and down her back soothingly as she slept. A few hours later, the sun began to rise and he watched Lorelei for when she'd wake

Lorelei woke a bit later, smiling up at him with a yawn. "Good morning, handsome," she murmured. "How'd you sleep?" she asked, assuming he slept when she did.
