Shush and enjoy the ride Yeah, it was correct then and it was now too…she was kissing his neck, arms wrapped around his shoulders. “If I could” kiss “move in them” kiss....kiss “you” kiss “wouldn’t have” kiss “to carry me.” kiss. Honestly, Mike could have knocked the crowds down and stepped over them. Revna would not have noticed. Mike laid her on the bed and his intensity stopped the breath in her lungs, created a running of fast firing nerve endings that left her arms and legs shaky, sent warm chills down her spine, and the knowledge that he was her one and only, and he was answered by her own intensity. Minutes or hours later, she didn’t know, it hit her hard and suddenly, exactly how many millions of events had to fall into place for the Fates to allow her to be Mike’s wife and how terrifyingly close she came to never having him in her life. It was all just a little overwhelming. The rightness, the passion, the intensity brought tears to her eyes, and she held on to him tighter. And through it all was the beat of their hearts, the perfection of their love for each other, and the strength of his arms keeping the rest of the world at bay.

Revna ‘The Best Thing That Ever Happened to me Is You’ McKenzie

That night passed like an eternity wrapped in a single moment. Her… him… and nothing else in the universe. As she lay wrapped in his arms, his body following the contours of her own, his mind wandered and he had a waking dream…

Hills dotted the landscape rising up from a rocky shore bordering a gray-green sea; and were covered in moss and the dried brown husks or heather in the winter. The wind blew steady and cold, but it wasn’t unpleasant… and the tang of salt from the ocean filled his senses.

And there she was. His Viking princess. His shield-maiden. His Nordic bride. She wore a gray dress with white accents, and small flowers were woven into her braids. She laughed and danced and ran from him across the hilly moor, looking over her shoulder and smiling. The wind bellowed the dress out from her bare legs and feet, and she led him further and further from the sea.

Soon she disappeared, but before him was a low stone house. It sat half in the ground, and the roof was the same moss covered color as the countryside around it. A wooden door opened to reveal a single room cottage with a large fire place. He had never seen it before, but he knew it immediately. She was there, stirring something in a large, black pot. As he closed the door, she turned and smiled at him.

“Welcome home, husband.”

And his eyes popped open to see her face now looking at him, a soft smile on her face.

Mike ‘Well That Was Something’ McKenzie

Revna was half on her side, palms flat against his chest, curled against him, held close and secure in his arms, legs tangled. She watched his face, his expression relaxing, the weight he carried for the moment appearing to be gone. She had no idea where he was in his dreams, but she hoped she was in there somewhere. She shifted slightly and his whole body curled around her pulling her closer. There was a tugging, a reaching, from her heart the core of who she was, her soul that was only quieted in his presence. She kissed his chest where her head was now resting, then she kissed his chin, along his jaw, and gently below his year, and she whispered, “Welcome home, husband.” She wasn’t sure what made her choose those words, but she wanted to be home for him, the way he was for her. She laid her head back watching him and when he opened his eyes she was smiling softly. She reached one arm around his waist tracing random patterns across his back. “Good morning.” She kissed him soft and lingering, relaxing completely in his arms.
Revna ‘Home is not a place but a person’ McKenzie

Mike was momentarily disoriented. His dream had been so vivid, and even now he could smell the salt on the air. “I… you were-… holy crap that was intense.” Hang on a second.” and he shot up and almost leapt out of the bed. He turned back and leaned over her and kissed her quickly. “I love you.” and he ran his naked body to the desk and grabbed the PaDD and yanked the stylus off the side and began writing furiously.

Mike ‘This Is Why You Married Me, In Case You Didn’t Know’ McKenzie

Revna laid there a moment, bemused, enjoying the show as he ran back and forth across the room. With a contented sigh she got up getting two very large glasses of ice water. She was thirsty and he probably was as well even if he was too focused to notice at the moment. She set one next to him and then checked the blinking light on the comm panel. Your meal should still be fresh and ready for you both when you are ready for it Please enjoy your evening and each other. - Haighnak After she read it she looked around, found her dress and slipped it back on over shoulders, tying it. She opened the door to find a tray of their meal, all contained in stasis boxes. That meant the food was still hot and the beer was not only cold but NOT flat. She opened one container and pulled out a small bread roll and nibbled on it while Mike worked. She smiled, the look of total concentration and focus on her face and it would be an image of him she would hold dear. She quietly slipped into the shower while he worked.
