Alex smiled into their kiss. Bexley’s mouth opened wider. Alex slid her tongue inside and moaned into the silence. When Bexley began moving, Alex followed until Bexley was on her back, and Alex was hovering over her, connecting and reconnecting their lips.

“You’re not looking at the lights,” Alex said, smiling against Bexley’s lips.

“Bring me back another time, and I will,” Bexley told her, pulling Alex back down for another kiss.

Several minutes later, Alex actually heard Bexley shiver. She pulled out of the kiss and stared down at her.

“We can either strip out of these clothes and use our body heat to keep warm, but security will see us both naked, or we can go back inside, and I can put another log on the fire,” Alex suggested.

“I vote for the fire. I don’t know Albert well enough for him to see me naked,” Bexley joked.

Alex kissed her again, sat up, and helped Bexley put her gloves back on. Then, she stood, and they picked up the blankets and walked back to the cottage in silence.

“Here. Let me help,” Alex offered when Bexley’s jacket zipper got stuck.

She moved into her and helped it the rest of the way down. Then, she met Bexley’s eyes.

“Sleep in the bed with me?” Bexley said.

“Are you sure?” Alex checked.

“We can make out for a little bit before we go to sleep.”

“This is Britain; we call thatsnogging,” Alex teased, pulling off Bexley’s coat.

“Well, whatever you call it, we can either dothat, or you can sleep on the couch. So, up to you.”

Alex laughed and pulled at Bexley’s thick gloves.

“I’ll meet you in there. Let me put another few logs on the fire.”

A few minutes later, Alex had changed out of her own outerwear and was wearing only her pajamas again. She walked over to the window that overlooked the water and the lights and pulled back the curtains a bit. Bexley was already in bed, so Alex slipped in behind her, wrapped her arm around Bexley’s waist, and kissed her neck.

“You feel good there,” Bexley spoke.

“You feel goodhere,” Alex replied, sliding her hand under Bexley’s shirt and resting it on her stomach. “God, Bexley… I’ve wanted–”

“I know,” Bexley said, staring out the window at the lights. “Me too.” She rolled over and looked up at Alex. “You’re so beautiful,” she told Alex. “I can’t believe we’re here right now, and this is happening.” She wrapped her arms around Alex’s neck. “You’re right, you know?”

“About what?”

“It can be about nights like this.”

The next morning, Alex woke up to sounds in the kitchen. Bexley wasn’t next to her, so she sat up in bed, wiped her eyes, and looked around the cottage. Then, Alex smiled. Bexley was in the kitchen, cooking. They’d fallen asleep next to one another, and she wanted that again and again. She slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom before she made her way to the kitchen, where she found Bexley in a pair of sweats and a T-shirt that Alex recognized. She walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around Bexley’s waist, kissing her neck.

“Good morning,” she said.

“I was going to bring you breakfast in bed,” came Bexley’s reply.

“You were?” Alex kissed her neck again.

“Yes. But it’s hard not to wake someone in a one-room cottage, I guess.”

“I smelled the food. That’s what woke me up. What are you making?”

“You had eggs and bacon, so I went with that,” Bexley replied.
