Jennifer wasn't sure how John was going to respond to her confession. When he said he loved her too, she grinned and wrapped her arms around him. "It's all right, John," she whispered. "Better now than never, right?" She shook her head and softly nuzzled his neck. "I think almost everyone in the city knows how I feel about you. I'm surprised no one told you before."
Pulling back a little, she tilted her head and stared at him. She leaned forward and deeply kissed him for several moments before pulling back. She wanted to stay like this with him for the rest of the night but she knew the both of them needed to get some sleep. Poseidon didn't slow just because two people wanted to be together.
Jennifer slipped off his lap and went to the bathroom. She grabbed some towels and wetted a couple washcloths before bringing them back out. She cleaned the both of them and got into the bed. Jennifer pulled John down beside her and cuddled close.
"When month end reports are finished, we should sneak off for a whole day, and night. We can go to Neo and I can show you where the best place to skinny dip is," she said with a wink. She kissed his cheek and pulled the sheet over them. "I know I just said it but...I love you so much, John."
