When we got back to the ship after our shopping excursion I legitimately had no desire to get back up and go out to eat. But I was overruled and honestly I was a bit thankful for that for multiple reasons. The first being the food was delicious and the nighttime atmosphere near the water was simply gorgeous. The second reason was because I had settled on sleeping with my bunny tonight. Out of all of my soulmates he probably has the most trouble keeping his hands to himself and is liable to get my body worked up. Despite the break I'm wanting he was liable to convince me for more than just sleep. The trip to the restaurant had made me even more exhausted than I already was and once I told the others goodnight and got ready for bed I basically crashed. Hell, I don't even remember Jk coming into my room last night, which means I probably fell asleep before he even let himself in.
This morning as I feel his presence behind me I instantly snuggle into his strong chest and sigh contently. He responds by peppering my clothed shoulders with soft sweet kisses. After a few relaxing moments of indulgence I struggle out of his stronghold so I can turn over and look him in the eyes. I can still see the grogginess lingering there and a part of me mourns not being able to watch him sleep. They are all so beautiful when they are completely at rest. I'm not sure why I admire their sleeping forms so much, but it causes an emotional warmth in my chest to build up every time I can witness it. "Morning Bunny, sorry that I must have fallen asleep before you got here."

He shrugs his shoulders and smiles up at me. "We were all tired, Sweetheart. Besides, you subconsciously curled up perfectly on your side and left room for me to climb in behind you and pull you into my arms. That's all I really need." I try not to arch a disbelieving eyebrow at that, but I can't quite help myself. He chuckles at my expression. "Okay, what's that about?"
"It's about the fact that you always have a hard time keeping your hands to yourself."
"Mmm. I won't deny the truth of that statement." He chuckles himself. "But, I don't need to be with you like that to share my love and devotion with you."
