Theo moved with a smile to be beside her, pulling her close. "I can do that." He then kissed her lovingly, a hand in her hair.

Casey's heart fluttered and she smiled, kissing him back. She was actually too tired to get anything very intense, but that didn't mean she couldn't kiss him just as lovingly as she normally does. She rested a hand on his cheek, smiling when she felt the slight stubble. She brushed her thumb across his cheek, every now and then brushing the point where their lips were connected, ever so slightly.

Theo smiled happily against her lips, kissing her slightly deeper, but he didn't think he'd go any more.

Casey smiled and moved her hand back to his hair. I think I actually prefer this to the passionate kissing... mind you the passionate is wonderful... but this is more loving. This proves to me that it is love, not lust that fuels us, she thought to herself as she petted his hair.

Theo thought it was kind funny that she was petting his hair. He couldn't help but chuckle a little.

Casey pulled back and looked at him "and just what are you laughing at, sir?" she asked, a twinkle of amusement in her eyes. She laid her head on the pillow and stared at him, waiting for his response.

Theo grinned at her and nuzzled against her a little. "You were petting me."

Casey smiled and nuzzled against his head "your hair is soft" she replied. "By the way, I like the stubble" she pointed out, lightly grazing her hand down his cheek until her fingertips rested on his lips.

Theo grinned. "Thanks. The stubble is new though." He liked the feeling of her fingers doing that.

Casey smiled, her eyes were getting heavy "I like it... Now I know why my mom doesn't want my dad to shave that bushy beard of his" she whispered. She nuzzled closer to him and rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Theo chuckled softly. "Then maybe I'll keep a little one, just for you." He gently stroked her hair and watched her.

Casey smiled, her eyes drifting closed, yet she still fought to keep them open. "I love you" she muttered in a sleepy whisper.

Theo smiled and whispered back. "I love you too."

She turned her head and placed a light kiss on Theo's lips. "Perhaps we should go to sleep. Maybe we can go back to the waterfall tomorrow?" she suggested.

Theo smiled and kissed her back. "If that's what you want, love."

Casey smiled "I'd like that. There was so much I wanted to explore but couldn't" she said sleepily before pulling Theo into a long kiss.

Theo smiled and kissed her back, loving every second of it. When the kiss ended, he chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. "Sleep."

Casey smiled "only if you stay with me" she retorted, snuggling under the covers.

Theo chuckled and followed her, pulling her close. "Of course, love."

Casey smiled and used his chest as a pillow. Almost instantly, she was asleep.

((I hope you don't mind if I just skip to the next morning))

Casey's eyes fluttered open and it took a few seconds for the situation to sink in. A replay of last night's events played in her mind and she smiled, snuggling closer to him, placing a light kiss on his adam's apple.

Theo fell asleep soon after she did.

((skipping is fine. ^^))

Theo felt her kiss his adam's apple, but just moved a little and didn't wake. He was a long sleeper sometimes.

Casey smiled, amused at how deep a sleeper he was. She hovered over him for a few seconds and then kissed him, soft and gentle.

Theo felt that, smiling in his sleep and kissing her back. He knew her lips anywhere.

Casey giggled and nipped his lip light. "Come on, wake up. Wake up or no more kisses" she commanded, giggling at the end.

Theo's eyes opened slightly, looking at her. "That's not very nice."
