"I'm sorry, I swear I'll fix it. I won't be in that mindset anymore, I'm gonna try to change it"

"Shh, its okay, Dakota, we'll talk about it in the morning okay? Just sleep," he whispered to her, rubbing her back gently.

"I'm so sorry, I'll fix it, don't be mad, please..."

"I'm not mad, my love," he whispered, squeezing her tight. He pulled back after a moment, looking her in the eye. "Do you want to try again? Just us? Just love?" he asked softly.

"if you're okay with it"

Nate nodded with a soft smile. "Back to basics first," he hummed, gently reaching down. He held eye contact with her the whole time, kissing her gently every now and then. This time, it was all about both of them, even though she was the only one receiving anything.

She was more passionate, more herself, when she kissed him and whimpered

Nate continued to coax her further until she was fully satisfied. He drew his hand up, cleaning it with his mouth before tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. "How are you?" he asked softly.

"thank you" she breathed heavily, kissing him

"Of course, my love," he murmured, kissing her back, then kissing her head.
