Courtney shuddered as she stretched around him, holding him tight in her body for the first time in a long while since Cole had been born. Even now she was struck by the realization of just how much she had missed being this intimate with him because these were the times when they were the closest. When he was fully 'alive' and she could hold onto him knowing he could feel everything she was feeling. That she had yanked away the veil of Death to find the man underneath. The man who loved her as much as she loved him.

Breaking the kiss with a soft gasp, she met his gaze and nodded before rocking her hips slowly, shuddering once more as the pleasure lanced through her and reminded her of just how good it could be. Then she found a familiar rhythm, riding him slowly but steadily right there in the bath, the water sloshing gently around them as she curled her fingers in his long hair and held on.
