"Wake up, Baby," Killian cooed, as he pressed a kiss into the soft flesh of her tummy, just above her belly button.

Emma mumbled something incoherent but her eyes remained firmly closed.

"Emma," he coaxed. "I have gifts for you."

The sleeping woman finally cracked one eye open to look down at the head of dark hair hovering by her hip. She wanted to be mad that he'd woken her so soon, especially after he'd been the one to thoroughly wear her out the night before - three times. But he looked so damned adorable staring up at her with so much love and excitement in his eyes that she couldn't even find it in her to fake her anger.

"I'm awake," she mumbled instead, before reluctantly pulling herself up the bed to rest against the headboard. "What time's it?"

"Midday," Killian chuckled. "I've ordered us some room service for lunch, but I wanted to give you this first." He placed a modest-sized flat box into her lap and then sat back on his heels to await Emma's verdict.

"What's this?"

"An anniversary gift," he replied, like it was the most obvious answer in the world.

"You've already given me plenty," she protested. Emma's eyes swept around their beachfront hotel suite in Barbados and then landed on the large, radiant cut pink diamond that now rested on the third finger of her left hand.

"This didn't cost me anything," Killian assured her. "I just wanted you to see it too."

Intrigued by her new fiancé's words, Emma pulled on the bow to let the ribbon unravel before lifting the lid on the box. Inside, she found a black leather book with the words;

stamped across the front in silver lettering.

"Your Nude Portrait images?" she asked. Emma was pretty sure that she'd seen all of those over the last three years they'd spent together.

Killian's Nude Portrait series had seen him shooting to stardom in the world of photography, as he was praised for the boldness and uniqueness of the series of images that he'd managed to capture. The images had earned him a number of awards that year, and in the one that had followed, he'd finally won a highly coveted International Photography Award. The jury had been full of praise for the ways in which he'd managed to accurately capture the smallest of changes in his subject's facial expressions during the process of his reveal.

Emma had been so proud of her boyfriend that she'd encouraged him to upload some of his unused images from the shoots to his website. It hadn't taken long for the fashion industry to get their hands on the pieces she'd shot with him, and within four hours, Killian had been booked solid for the rest of the year.

Three years on, he was still one of the most sought-after photographers in the world, and the two of them had somehow managed to make their hectic schedules work enough for them to fall in love and build a home together. Which meant that Emma probably saw more of her fiancé's work than anyone else did.

"Trust me," Killian chuckled darkly, "nobody but me has seen these images before."

Emma cocked a brow at him that said she wasn't sure that was completely accurate, but she lifted the book from its box and cracked it open to the first page. On it, Killian had written a sweet dedication, and her fingers traced over the beautiful curves and loops of his handwriting as she read it aloud.

My Darling Emma,

This day will forever be seared into my memory

as one of the greatest of my life.

But just in case we should ever forget,

here's something we can enjoy looking back on

together!

As she turned the next page, Emma gasped a little at the stunning portraits of herself that she found staring back at her. These were the ones that Killian had deemed 'too hot for the rest of the world to handle,' and so they'd been saved to a flash drive and left out of all of his original files.

But as she continued turning the pages, Emma realized that there was more material from that day than she ever thought there would be. And with the next page she turned, it became abundantly clear why.

"Holy shit," she gasped, as her eyes took in the erotic image of herself pressed between the back wall and her man, while his hand disappeared between the two of them. "Is this what I think it is?"

"Yeah. I set the camera on a timer and forgot to turn it off. It captured everything from that afternoon."

"Everything?" she asked, as she watched his eyes darken with desire while they took in each of the images that he'd printed and bound into the book for her gift. (Because there was no way that Killian was trusting anyone else to handle them.)

"Everything," he confirmed, his tone dripping with arousal.

Emma's breath caught in her throat as she turned another page to look down at images of herself being taken hard against the studio wall. It shouldn't have been as arousing as it was – but damn did they make one hell of an attractive couple.

Killian reached forward to pull the book out of her hands and dropped it down onto the floor beside their bed.

"Hey! I wasn't finished," she protested, because those really were some of the most sensual pictures she'd ever seen.

"You can finish looking at them later," her fiancé promised. "Right now, I really wanna fuck you against that wall over there." Killian nodded his head to the empty space behind them and Emma's eyes darkened impossibly further as they flicked between his own and the place he had pointed out.

"Well then… what are you waiting for, Jones?" she challenged.

The sound of Emma's giggles as her future husband hauled her out of bed and up into his arms drowned out the knocks on the door to their suite. After ten minutes of waiting outside with no answer, their server headed back down to the kitchens leaving their breakfast outside of their suite, by the wall, where it remained cold and forgotten for the rest of the day.


Emma's Engagement ring is a 5.99 carat pink diamond, surrounded by a 30 small round pink diamonds, set into rose gold, with a platinum band studded with 5 clear diamonds on either side. I'd love to give you an estimate for the piece but it's a Harry Winston design and I didn't think they'd appreciate me making an appointment just to enquire about the cost of their pieces for fanfiction research.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.
