Stroking her hair gently he smiles as she works to wakefulness even as she whispers the name Amery he keeps his smile and whispers as she says his name the second time.  Kissing her gently he makes no comment, knowing that Amery had meant a great deal to her and it would likely be awhile before she could allow him enough of her heart to think of him first.<br/><br/>Greeting her smile with his own he whispers gently, "Morning, may I tell you that you look just a pretty in your morning messed state as you do cleaned up?"  His fingers brush her cheek as he slips his arm from beneath her and props himself up, pulling the blanket from her and looking down at her lovely backside.<br/><br/>Looking back to her eyes he smiles and says, "Your mark looks good dear, though I am willing to bet it smarts rather good yet, I know it took near a week before pants were comfortable for me to wear."<br/><br/>Leaning forward he smiles and kisses her on the shoulder, "How are you feeling this morning, ready to go to work or shall we lie around in bed another day?"
