Skye sighs softly in delight. She had been wrong; the night COULD be any better, and at the moment, it was. Quickly running her eyes over the span of the room, Skye cant help but smile. She would never have guessed in a million years that she would be doing what she was about to do. As she allows Jax to slip off her robe, a deep blush lines her face. Even though she is a bit more nervous than she cares to let on, in her heart she knows everything is completely right. She has never felt more sure about a single thing in her entire life.

"Everything ok?" Jax asks lightly but seriously, a hint of concern layered in his voice. Skye rolls over on her side so shes facing him and her breath catches in her throat when she sees the look in his eyes. Its a look of pure adoration, and the realization that its meant for her is almost too much too handle.

"Everythings perfect," she whispers. "I couldnt imagine anything more wonderful if I tried."

"I just wanted to make sure," Jax says. "I know that *I* want this more than anything, but I want to be sure you feel the same way."

"I do, I promise you that," Skye assures him, meaning it with all her heart. Jax smiles softly at her, reaching over and pushing her hair out of her eyes, struck by how gorgeous she looked. Skye tingles from his touch and her heart races as she just stares at him. Almost crying from pure joy, Skye reaches over and winds an arm around his neck, squeezing him tight. She never wants to let go; she feels too safe and perfect in his arms. Meanwhile, Jax is having almost the identical thought; its almost as if they are one, on the same wavelength and with the same thoughts. Jax breaks out of his thoughts as Skye lightly runs her fingers up and down his arms. He kisses her lightly before rolling over and bending over the side of the bed. Skye knits her eyebrows in confusion, wondering what he is doing, but then smiles as he sits back up. Closing her eyes briefly from sheer bliss, when she opens them again Skye takes a deep breath. She clamps her mouth shut, fighting the urge to tell him right then and there that she loves him. Instead, beginning at his neck, she trails soft kisses down his spine. Jax swallows sharply, doing his best to control his desire and love. Turning over to face Skye, he takes her lightly in his arms. A slight moan escapes Skyes mouth as he gently slides the strap of her nightgown down over her arm. Raising her arm slightly to allow it to fall, Skye is overwhelmed with desire, yearning, and, what she knows is true love. As both she and Jax become wrapped up in their own little world, each could not be any happier if they tried.

************************************

Skye sleepily opens her eyes the next morning, squinting against the bright sunshine pouring in through the windowshades. For a split second, she cant remember where she is. As she realizes she is tightly wrapped in Jaxs arms, with her head on his shoulder, it all comes flooding back to her. A slow smile spreads across her face as she remembers the night before. It had been so magical, so passionate, so perfect. She wished she could turn back time so she could experience it all over again. Instead, she lays calmly in Jaxs arms, listening to his heart beat at a steady pace. The sound is so calming that she finds hereself more serene and peaceful than she ever remembers being. She giggles to herself, noting the contrast between how she felt now and how she had felt during the night. Both were absolutely wonderful feelings, yet so very different from each other at the same time. She smiles as Jaxs eyes open.

"Morning sleepyhead," she says lightly. "Sleep well?" Smiling over at her, he nods.

"That was one of the best nights of my life," he says, leaning over to give her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Me too," she says. "I think we need to make a habit out of it," she jokes, only half kidding.

"Fine with me," he says, staring into her big eyes. "I think we should just stay here all day." Skye groans.

"I have an ELQ meeting," she says.

"Skip it," Jax suggests. "I want you here with me." Skye smiles.

"I cant skip it, but Ill come right here afterwards," she promises. "And then we have the whole afternoon and evening together."

"And night," Jax adds, smiling. Skyes heart flutters as she kisses him. Groaning, he opens his arms so she can get up and get dressed. Walking into the guestroom, Skye feels as though she is floating. Quickly putting on a soft baby clue sweater and creme pants, she slips into creme heels and adds a sparkling pin. Pulling hald her hair up with a barette, she cant help but smile. Finally, she will have somewhere to come home to, and she cant help but feel wonderful.
