Hey guys! I know I have a one-shots story up, which I will be continuing, but this plot came into my head and just will not back down. I've got a real clear idea of where I want it to go, so I hope you all enjoy! This first little bit is cusping on M rating.

"What time will Henry be home?" She heard him ask. His voice was slow, deeper than she'd heard it before as he looked down into her eyes. She grinned back at him.

"We have time," she said, adjusting her head slightly. Her hair was longer now than it had been in years and fell in soft waves over her shoulders. It caught easily between her neck and the sofa as she lay beneath him. He smiles playfully, catching her lips in his before slowly moving them down her neck. Her fingers move through his fair hair, biting her lip to stop herself from groaning at the feel of his stubble on her throat. This all feels too good. It's new and exciting and they've never gotten this far before and they're on the sofa in the middle of the day and she really should be doing work; but he makes her mind go fuzzy and her knees go weak and the thought of doing anything but what they are right now suddenly seems ridiculous.

She felt her body shiver as his hands make their way under her shirt, pulling it over her head with ease before bringing his kisses over her chest and down to her torso. She reached down and tugged the material still clinging to his top half, letting him know she needed to feel his skin on hers. He breathed out a chuckle before sitting up slightly and throwing the shirt behind him. They froze at the sound of a crash, he'd definitely just knocked something over. "Oops."

She giggled. Actually giggled, which she found weird, because she hadn't done that since she was little and even then it was only ever really her dad who could make her do so. Maybe Henry has made her produce that noise too at some point over the years. "Don't worry about it," she said, and brought his mouth back down to meet hers.

She wasn't sure how much time went by as they kissed and fumbled and tugged at each other's remaining clothes. Eventually her face felt too flushed and she pulled away, meeting his warm smile as he rubbed his nose against hers. She will never be as happy as she is right now, she decided, lying under his soft, warm body feeling her heart pound against her chest and staring into his blue eyes.

"I love you." The words escaped her mouth before she could swallow them back down. She was nervous and vulnerable now; suddenly aware that she was only wearing a bra and her jeans. She'd never said those words to him before.

She watched for his reaction. Watched as he pulled his face back from hers just slightly and a broad grin sprang onto his mouth. "I love you too," he said finally before brushing his lips against hers in a manner that seemed too gentle for his height and muscle.

She felt the heat between them begin to rise again, different this time though, because it wasn't just a physical longing she had anymore. They were in love with one another. She smiled through their kisses, completely lost in everything about him. Nothing could pull him from her embrace now, as their breathing got heavier and his hands grew more daring. Her eyes popped open when his fingers reach the band of her jeans and-

"MEREDITH LOCKSLEY!"
