"You know how to drive a man mad." he said softly, catching her lips occasionally for kisses, breathing in her air. "And yes, I liked it very much." he said smiling down at her gently. His heart was slowly going back to it's normal beats, but he was swelling with something else now...love and adoration for Rowena. She was everything he needed and all he had to do now was keep her.
Noah felt the same way, his body very much like jello, but he found the strength somehow to lean down and lift her, up in his arms, cradling her and carrying her from the bathroom, letting the candles go out behind him and slipping over to his bed, and laying Rowena on it. As if she were the most precious of jewels. He crawled in next to her and slid his arms around her, dropping gentle kisses on to her face. "I love you." He whispered.
