Synopsis: A little drabble for one of my first Choices LI. I wish he got more love. This is for my forehead kiss series. It takes place the morning after their engagement.
The bright morning sunlight peeking through the ship's windows warmed her cheek. She tossed gently, reaching for the covers to pull them over her head. A glimmering sparkle caught her focus, halting her progress. She held her hand in front of her face, turning the simple ring on her finger. It wasn’t lavish. It wasn't extravagant. It wasn’t off the pages of a bridal magazine. And yet, the traditional gold band with the single round cut stone in the center was absolutely perfect.
Had it only been last night that he asked her? Had it only been weeks since their chance meeting? This summer had been a whirlwind, to say the least.
When she heard her grandmother’s wishes, she never thought she would complete them. She had always been so careful, so calculating, analyzing every choice she made until she was certain she had made the right one. She had a plan for her life and for a while things were perfect. Then one day, everything fell apart, and she never saw it coming. Falling in love and getting married in a few months' time? It had seemed like an impossible feat, but now…
She chewed her lip, turning on her side to watch her sleeping fiancé. A quiet giggle slipped from her smiling lips. She couldn’t help it. For the first time in a long time, something felt right beyond all logic and reason.
Stroking a strand of his chocolate-brown hair aside, she nuzzled into him. The scent of the sea surrounded them, but on him, it was different. The salty sea entangled with warm sunlight, soft sand, hints of cedar from where they lied on the beach the night before gazing at the stars, and sweet honey. She drew in another deep breath, letting it overwhelm her. He smelled of a home she never knew she was longing for and one she never wished to let go of.
She placed a kiss on his temple, in awe of how safe he had made her feel since their first meeting. She shifted up and brushed a kiss on her forehead as she caressed his cheek. She knew he was awake but apparently, he needed more encouragement.
Her lips hovered over his for a moment as she straddled his torso. She pulled his lower lip between her teeth before gently kissing him awake. “Good morning, Sailor.”
He reached up, cradling her face. “It is with you, baby doll.”
Her hand rested on his chest; she wiggled her finger. “We’re getting married,” her words were a whispered dream just for him.
“We’re getting married,” he reiterated, an excited grin blossoming on his features. He drew her back to him. “I love you.”
Her long, silky hair cascaded around him, shielding them from the outside world. Her lips lowered to his once more. She knew no matter where this path would take them, whether on land or across the oceans, as long as they were together, nothing would be too great an obstacle. He had found her when she was broken and without hope, and somehow he reminded her of all she was and all she could be. She had found her North Star, a light in the darkness, guiding her home.
Some are six sentences! Most are a bit longer. All are rough and unedited. I literally wrote them just now to encourage myself to get going with them.

A smile pulled at the corner of his lips. She looked so peaceful, curled up on the couch. He knew she had a long list of things she wanted to accomplish on her day off, but he was glad she had found time to rest; it’d been a busy week for her. He placed his bag on the side of the couch and moved closer, noticing now how her brows were pulled in and her lips pressed tightly together.
“Liv?” His voice filled with concern. He sat beside her stroking her hair. He could feel the heat radiating from her pale skin as he bent to press a kiss on her forehead. Quickly, his lips were replaced with the back of his hand. “You’re burning up.”
She clutched the blanket a little tighter, her only reply, a low whimper that slipped out as the next shiver shook her body.

She twirled a wave of his chocolate hair between her fingers.
“Enjoying yourself?” His gaze hardly left the medical journal resting in her lap. At one point, it had rested in his, but she had since occupied that space.
Her thumb brushed against the coarse hair on his cheek, following his jawline. “Immensely,” she whispered into his ear.
He shivered in reply to her touch, his skin tingling sweetly. The heat of her breath pulled his attention away from his reading. His crystal blue eyes met hers.

“Alex!” He admonished, instinctively looking around, despite knowing they were alone in his office.
Ignoring the scolding tone, she hopped up on his desk, her feet flitting out in front of her. “Yes, Professor?”
He rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to reconcile the ease in which she found their situation.
She wove her fingers through his dark hair, enjoying how his soft locks shifted beneath her touch. Even if he wouldn’t admit it, she could tell by how his breathing relaxed that he enjoyed it too.
