Take Back Us || Kennedy & Em

The moment his breathing had stopped Em felt a giant weight released from her body. She wanted to cry, scream and laugh all at the same time. Her emotions were all over the place, but everything stilled the moment Kennedy came into the room. Wrapping up his arms she was eager to leave and was relieved when he quickly left Bull instructions and then drove them straight to his plane. Resting on him the whole flight she was quiet, assuring him she was okay but she was not ready to speak about Eric, in fact she didn’t want to think about him at all tonight. When they arrived in Colorado her face lit up seeing the home she declared her love for him in. Entering she kicked off her shoes and turned to face him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Smiling she kissed his lips gently, “I love you with every ounce of my being and I’d be nothing without you.” Taking his hand she led him into the living room, glad to see the fire going. Dropping his hand she stepped back and took a breath, “Please let me speak,” another small smile placed on her lips.
“Tonight is about us, not about what he did or what I did. I don’t want to talk about, not tonight. I finally feel free from what they did and I know I have a long way to go, but I know I’m not alone and never will be again.” Tears pricked at her eyes and she took a moment to compose herself. “My whole life I thought I was good for one thing and one thing only and while I enjoy it you have shown me I am worth so much more.” Shaking her head slightly, “But, tonight, now, I want that back.” Stepping back to him she placed one hand on his waist and the other at his neck. “I want, no I need you to take me Kennedy. Take back what is ours, take back us.” Leaning up she kissed him deeply, pressing her body tightly against his.
