Rating: There's some angst, but right now I guess its about a PG-13 it might get a bit heavier later on but I'll let you know.

I woke first. I was happy that I did, I chuckled softly as I moved and Zoey grumbled at the foot of the bed. It was cute, I guess sometime during the night when she was finished her bone she decided it was time to come get in bed with us.

I rolled slightly, so I could look at Tara. She was sound asleep, her head buried in my shoulder, she was beautiful, so elegant and soft. Her hair was everywhere.

I lay there for a few moments thinking about the evening before. It was an amazing night, we made love till the sun came up, touching each other like we were able to actually feel for the first time, we studied each other's bodies like it was amazing pieces of art. And it was beautiful, more beautiful then I remember it being, before when we were together and we would make love, it seemed so rushed, and fast moving, but last night it was slow we weren't rushed, we touched and kissed everywhere. It was amazing.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Tara stirred and moved her head back a few inches so she could look at me. "Good morning," she smiled and I leaned down and gave her a soft kiss.

"Best morning," I smiled when I pulled away and she smiled wider, then she smirked and I knew she was thinking about the night before.

"It was amazing wasn't it?" I asked knowing exactly what she was thinking.

She blushed slightly; her shy side that definitely wasn't there last night was back today. "It was amazing," she agreed, closing her eyes and sighing softly.

The look on her face instantly put me in the mood yet again. "Unless you want to start something this morning you might not want to look like that," I smiled and kissed her throat, down to her naked shoulder and collarbone, sucking and nipping it softly making her moan and lean her head back. Her breathing quickened.

"Oh goddess I wish we could but I have to walk Zoey," she moaned and pulled away slightly, placing soft kisses on my lips and face as she did.

"Oh ya," I smiled and sat up, letting the blanket fall from my chest. I leaned forward and petted the dog on the head. "Zoey got tired of the living room at some point," I laughed when Tara covered her eyes, embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you she sleeps with me," Tara moaned and laughed sitting up also petting the dog, who rolled over happily accepting the love she was getting.

"So," I started - I was in an amazing mood today - "how about you go shower and relax and I'll walk Zoey?" I smiled as I leaned over and gave Tara another kiss before slowly standing from the bed and heading towards the closet in the room we were in to find something to throw on.

"Are you sure?" she asked her voice slightly worried sounding.

"100% sure," I grinned and threw on a sweater and pulled on some track pants.

"Okay," Tara grinned. She kissed Zoey on the head and stood from the bed, her hips swaggering slightly as she walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom.

I stood there for a moment watching her, my mouth hung open. Making love to her last night was one thing but seeing her in bright daylight walking around so comfortable was just wonderful, something I would never get used to, something I couldn't wait to see again.

"Come on Zoey, if we're quick maybe I can join Tara in the shower." I poked my tongue out then burst out laughing as the dog covered her eyes with her paw and rolled over moaning.
