He does just that, trailing kisses over her skin as he tangles a leg with hers. "Tell me about your dream, baby." Then he presses closer, thrusting into her.

[dharmalady]

She whimpers in pleasure, sighing in satisfaction.

"We were at that little lagoon. You had me stretched out in that tall grass," she breathes out.

[complexguy]

"I'll take ya there again soon," he promises, moving slowly with her for now, caressing his hands up and down her thighs and hips.

[dharmalady]

"You have no idea how good you feel," she breathes out, already panting softly.

"How was your sandwich?" she asks with a quiet laugh that ends on a moan.

[complexguy]

"Can't feel as good as you," he hums a little, gradually moving a little faster against her. "Best sandwich of my life."

[dharmalady]

She moans loudly in the quiet of their bedroom, then tightens around him, no more room for words, just feelings.

Juliet takes his hand, pressing her lips to his fingertips before guiding him between her thighs, wanting him to touch as he moves inside of her.

[complexguy]

In their time together, he's watched her blossom into this more confident woman who knows what she wants. She's not shy about showing him what she needs, and he kisses the back of her neck as he touches her while thrusting against her.

[dharmalady]

Gasping his name, Juliet cries out, jerking just a little as she shatters around him. It isn't enough to aggravate her injuries, all she feels is bliss and pleasure, and she tries to pull him with her.

"James," she whispers, an encouragement, and a whisper of love in the way she says his name.

[complexguy]

He's worried for just a second until he hears her say his name, and he knows she's okay. She feels good. "Got ya, baby," he gasps out, and he thrusts one more time, climaxing with her and grunting in pleasure.

[dharmalady]

She knows that now he'll be tired, ready to sleep after working all night, so for now, she doesn't move away or do anything other than snuggle closer, dragging just the sheet up and over them.

"Nightshift has perks when I'm off the next day," she murmurs once she can breathe.

[complexguy]

He keeps his arm wrapped around her, pressing his face in close so his chin is against her shoulder. In response to what she's said, he just mumbles something and grunts, a clear sign he's already falling asleep.

[dharmalady]

"Goodnight, baby," she murmurs softly.

"I love you." Juliet pulls his hand up to kiss the back of his hand and lays there until she knows he's out for the count. Then, she gets up just to clean herself up a little before curling back into bed, facing him now. She tucks herself right into his arms, snuggling close and falling back asleep.

She didn't go to bed until after a shower at about three in the morning, so she's out deeply, right with him.

James wakes up first, and when he sees Juliet still sleeping, he smiles tenderly as he strokes her hair back from her eyes. Kissing her softly, he keeps a protective hold on her. She needs the rest, so he doesn't want to move, just wants to enjoy this as long as he can.

[dharmalady]

Juliet smiles in her sleep, seeking him out as if to nuzzle.

Even asleep, she just wants to love on him.

[complexguy]

He grins and presses a little closer, pressing a kiss to her cheek, then her temple. "Dreamin' about me, baby?" He whispers against her ear.

[dharmalady]

Taking a deep breath, she lets it out slowly as she opens her eyes, waking up.

"I always dream about you down," she murmurs, voice still husky with sleep.

[complexguy]

"Sexy dreams, I hope," he smiles a little, raking his fingers through her hair.

[dharmalady]

"You know what? Not this time," she says, pulling back enough to see his eyes.

"This time I was laying with my head in your lap while you were reading out loud," she tells him with a soft smile, stroking his cheek. "Not a bad dream at all, if I say so myself. Who wouldn't want to listen to you talk?" she asks even as her head dips to kiss him softly.

[complexguy]

"Think you might be alone on that one, baby, but you're the only one I'd ever wanna read to anyway," he grins softly, kissing her again.

[dharmalady]

"I'm clearly the only person with taste on this island," she says with a laugh, kissing him over and over again.

They spend all day together, but they both work the next day, though she sneakily asks off about an hour early. In that hour, she drives a van home, does a few things inside the house, then drives to the security station, hoping to catch him coming out as she sits, van idling.

When she sees him, she calls out of the window.

"Wanna go for a ride?"

She's grinning, proud of herself for the surprise she has planned.

[complexguy]

He doesn't hesitate to grin back at her, a broad smirk on his lips. "Follow you anywhere, sweetheart."

He won't ask what she has planned, too excited to be surprised. But he gets in the van, leaning in to kiss her.

[dharmalady]

Juliet leans over to kiss him, humming against his mouth. She still has a streak of grease across her cheek that she missed in her brief stint in the house, but that's common.

She starts driving; everyone knows about the best spots in the North Valley, but Juliet's been on this island three years. She knows the best spots. Heading out to the cliffs on the east side of the island, she backs the van up carefully, handling it expertly as she backs it up, then parks and grins at him innocently before hopping out.

Opening the back doors, there's a blanket laid out, a few pillows, a cooler of beer, and sandwiches with chips.

"Push the tape in the cassette player," she requests, ready to go with music, too.

Then, she unzips her jumpsuit, stepping out of it, in cotton shorts and a tanktop underneath.

[complexguy]

He loves watching her like this, completely in her element, so damn happy and vibrant because it's them together. He does as she asks, then goes to her, wiping that streak of grease off her cheek before leaning in to kiss her again. One hand moves to cup her ass as he pulls her closer.

"The hell did I ever do to deserve you?"

[dharmalady]

She smiles softly as she begins slowly unzipping his jumpsuit now.

"I think you asked me to trust you, and I did. And it was the best decision I've ever made."

Juliet has no reason to trust anyone, ever. Not after that trust was taken advantage of in a horrific way. But she trusts James with her life.

[complexguy]

"Never been trusted by anyone before you either," he tells her huskily, stealing a kiss as she works to unzip him. "Did I ever thank you? For stickin' around?"
