"S'early," she mumbled, without opening her eyes.

Stephen smiled, and gave her body a little squeeze. Grace opened a single solitary eye to look at him, followed by the other a moment later. Her eyes searched his, and Stephen watched as an emotional recognition began to fill them, which soon transferred to her lips. The way she looked at him with that intense emotional affection broke him down every time.

Grace broke into a gentle smile, "Good morning, babe."

"It really is," chuckled Stephen, using his hand to gently rub her back.

Grace leaned in and pressed her lips to his, the start of several long, tender kisses. "So you're real? I didn't just dream you up?" She asked after the last kiss.

"Feels pretty real to me," he grinned.

She gazed at him with adoring eyes, a perfectly content smile plastered on her face.

"You look so beautiful this morning," he whispered to her.

Grace purred at the compliment, and wrapped her leg around his lower half, "Sweet talking will get you everywhere, Stephen." Her hand slipped across his stomach, and dipped under the waistband of his boxers.

"Already? It's barely 7 am," laughed Stephen.

"What can I say? I haven't had you inside me since yesterday. Do you want me to go into withdrawal, babe?" She giggled.

"Oh no, I can't have that," he chuckled alongside her. "I also like this new 'babe' development," he mentioned, referring to how quickly she picked up using pet names.

Grace looked at him seriously for a moment, "You don't mind, right? I just heard you do it yesterday, and I thought I might try it out. If you don't like it, I'll stop."

Stephen had to try to hold back another laugh. There was nothing more adorable than her humble moments like right now.

"I love it, Grace," he grinned. "Please use it all you want. I like it."

Grace beamed with a smile, "Okay, babe!"
