Anna let out a soft, breathy moan, tilting her head ever so slightly, trying to expose more skin for Brooke to kiss. After Brooke ran out of places within reach to cover with kisses, she snuggled back in behind Anna, holding the woman as tightly to her chest as she could.

“That was the best sleep of my life,” Anna mumbled, her voice still thick with sleep.

Brooke nodded into her back. She had gotten good sleep ever since she and Anna had started sharing a bed or a couch as they did the first night they were here, but nothing had compared to the sleep they had just gotten, naked and in each other’s arms. She didn’t even have a clue as to what hour they were in now.“Agreed,” she husked back. Her lips brushed against Anna’s back as she spoke.

Anna tensed ever so slightly in her arms and slowly rolled herself over so they were face to face, chest to chest. Brooke had a hard time keeping her eyes on Anna’s face.

“Hi,” Anna whispered, a wide but shy smile taking over her face.

Brooke couldn’t help the small smile that pulled up at the corners of her lips.“Good morning, Darling.”

A blush crept across Anna’s face and down her chest.“We can keep doing this, right?”

“Snuggling?” Brooke asked. She hummed and nodded.“I see no issue with that. Brunch isn’t until eleven and it’s nearby.” She tried to gauge the hour based on the sunlight filtering in through the curtains.“Worst case scenario, our flight isn’t until this evening.”

Anna giggled, but suddenly her face grew serious.“No, I mean this.” She swallowed nervously.“Us.”

“Yes, I’d like that quite a lot.” She wondered where Anna’s lack of confidence was coming from this morning, but Brooke was more than happy to reassure her.“I’m glad we talked last night.” She nuzzled into Anna’s neck.“And I’m really glad we’ve determined that we’re girlfriends for real.”

Anna pulled her in for an incredibly happy, passionate kiss. Brooke's hands drifted up Anna’s back, her fingertips tracing easy patternless loops. Anna hummed into Brooke's mouth, breaking their kiss and letting their foreheads rest together. Brooke pressed harder with her fingers, riding the line between a rub and massage as she moved down Anna’s spine.

Brooke massaged Anna's back with caution. She remembered Anna’s nerves over her back, scarring that she was self conscious of, Brooke just wanted to make her feel good. With her focus on her fingertips, she could feel bumps and divots, undoubtedly scars, she just wanted to make Anna feel confident and safe.

Anna ducked her head and buried her face in the warmth of Brooke's neck, humming happily as Brooke focused on a small knot in Anna’s lower back.

“We should track down some lotion,” Brooke mumbled.“Would help the knots come out easier.”

Anna stiffened in her arms, starting a slow roll onto her back, but Brooke caught her and held her in place.

“I can stay just like this, Darling.” She let the rest go unsaid. Brooke would just continue to reassure her that they didn’t bother her. She still hadn’t really even seen them, but there was nothing in the world that would hinder her love for Anna at this point. She was in too deep.

Anna leaned back and searched Brooke’s eyes.“How’d you get to be so lovely?” She raised an eyebrow.“We both know you didn’t get your charm from your mother.”

Brooke snorted out a laugh.“I think I learned through a lot of what not to do.” She couldn’t help but lick her lips as her eyes traveled decidedly lower than Anna’s mouth. With Anna leaning back like this, her whole chest was exposed.

Anna coughed out a laugh and let herself fall onto her back, the sheets all but discard.“Wow, in the same breath in which I compliment your chivalry, you stare at my tits.”

Brooke could feel the blush spread from her own chest, the heat on the tips of her ears. She was more than a little aware that she was fully exposed now, too.“It wasn’t my fault,” she protested, but she knew that wasn’t entirely true. She gestured now at Anna’s whole upper body.“Seriously, Darling. You’re exquisite, I’d have to quite literally gouge my eyes out if you don’t want me to look.”

Anna shook her head, reaching up to cup Brooke's face.“I like your eyes, thank you.”

Brooke leaned forward to pepper soft kisses across Anna’s cheeks.“I like your eyes, too,” she whispered in between her kisses.

Anna giggled under Brooke's incessant kisses. She grabbed Brooke's shoulders and attempted to roll them over, but Brooke was quite content to have Anna pinned to the mattress like this. Brooke decided to cheat a bit and use some of the skills she had learned in Judo. She grabbed Anna’s wrists and pinned them above her head, grounding her hips down and locking Anna in place.

As if to test Brooke's hold, Anna tugged a bit on the grip Brooke had on her wrists before she let out a very low, sensual,“oh.”

Brooke searched Anna’s eyes.“Do you want me to let you go?” she asked, nervous that Anna wouldn’t like feeling trapped and very much wanting Anna to know that she would release her if Anna wanted her to.

Anna shook her head no, licking her lips. Her dark eyes drifted down between them. She let out a huff of a laugh.“And I thought your kisses were addictive.”

Brooke smiled, leaning down to kiss down Anna’s neck, keeping her wrists held in place with one of her hands.

“So, like, how strong are you?” Anna asked, tugging again, a little harder this time with no luck.

Brooke hummed, pretending to think about it as she sucked one of Anna’s nipples into her mouth, circling the peak with her tongue. She let it go with a pop and shrugged.“I don’t know.”

Anna was all but panting beneath her.“I mean, you carried me around this flat with ease last night, and now I’m really pulling…”
