"I wouldn't mind some food and water right now," He said, slipping into a pair of brown trousers before walking over and embracing the love of his life, claiming her lips again as he felt her bolstered warmth through the robe, "I wouldn't mind some of you again either but that can wait until another time."<br/><br/>Releasing her, he turned and lay on her bed. The sheets felt heavenly against his skin. A lot better than that bed of rocks Captain Asshole called a cot. Sighing in resigned bliss, his cheerful and lovestruck mood dampened as he remembered the price for this liberty. It had cost Kate her home and title dragging her with him.<br/><br/>"I shouldn't have hit him, as much as he deserved it, I shouldn't have hit him," He said ruefully, turning over to look at her, "We wouldn't be in this situation if I hadn't let my emotions get away from me. But we possibly wouldn't be together if I hadn't, so I guess thats a silver lining."<br/><br/>He sat up and held his arms out towards her. Since they consummated their feelings, he couldn't seem to get enough of holding her in his arms. He felt like his intense love for her doubled as an addiction now. He wanted hold her for as long as possible. It worried him slightly as he thought about it, until he thought of something that blurted out of his mouth the moment he completely formulated the idea.<br/><br/>"Marry me, once we reach a port, I want you to marry me, Kate." He spoke, dead serious despite blurting out a random thought that he deeply wanted to happen since they officially met.
