"In here," Stella called out from the bedroom. She was currently in the process of changing from her more formal 'professor' clothes into denims and a jumper, looking forward to an evening of relaxing at home with Caleb. They'd settled into a bit of a routine, and Fridays were usually reserved for staying in and unwinding from the week.

This week, Stella definitely needed it- she'd gotten quite a bit done for the wedding, but it had put her a bit behind as far as school things went. She'd just gotten home a few minutes before, having stayed in her office for several hours after her last class, marking papers and working on plans.

"I'll be there in a minute, love," Stella called out, unbuttoning her blouse and tossing it onto the bed. "Just changing clothes."

Hearing Stella call out, Caleb walked toward the bedroom. He leaned against the door frame and watched Stella changing her clothes. "Don't get dressed on my account," he said, a teasing glint in his eye. He knew that he was merely torturing himself, since Stella had asked for celibacy until they were married, but he couldn't just walk away when Stella was standing there topless.

"You look frazzled. Long day?" he asked, pushing away from the door. Once Stella had pulled on her jumper, he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck and inhaling deeply.

Home.

"Long day," Stella echoed in response, leaning into Caleb's arms. It was amazing, but her tiredness and stress seemed to dissipate quite a bit, just by being near him.

"Long week, actually. I got a lot finished, but..." Stella trailed off, shrugging a little. "I'm just glad to be home." She turned her head and kissed him, smiling. "How about you, love? How was your day?"

"Interesting," he said, pulling back from Stella and flopping back on the bed. He held out his hand and waited until Stella was cuddled up against him. "Charlotte asked how I would feel about taking over the shop, managing it so she can spend more time with the baby. I didn't say yes, figured we should talk about it first. What do you think?"

Laying on top of Caleb was always a wonderful place to be- their legs tangled together, feeling his heart beating right against hers. Stella moved her hands when he'd pulled them down, threading her fingers through his hair and smiling.

"Love you," she murmured, leaning in to kiss him softly.

Stella really had no idea how long they stayed there- it could have been a few minutes or a few hours. She just lost herself in the feeling of being close to Caleb- kissing him, running her hands through his hair and feeling his hands exploring her skin. After a while, though, she could tell they should probably stop- Caleb's kisses had become more insistent, his hands having moved to her hips to pull them closer.

"You alright, love?" Stella asked breathlessly, having finally been able to pull back from Caleb's possessive kiss.

"What?" Caleb asked, blinking stupidly for a moment, then seeking out her lips again. God he loved kissing her, the way her mouth moved under his. The feel of her body stretch out over his own was perfection.

His hands were sliding under her shirt again, when he felt Stella pushing against his shoulders. Her words finally penetrated the haze of arousal surrounding him.

He rested his forehead against Stella's. "Yeah," he said, slightly breathless. "I'm fine."

"Ok," Stella breathed, her voice warm. "Just wanted to check." She, of course, was feeling wonderful- she could have stayed like this all night without a problem.

Still, she could tell that Caleb probably needed a break, whether he would admit it or not. So, she made no motion to move, or kiss him again- they just lay together in the stillness for a moment, Stella looking into Caleb's eyes and smiling.

"Three more weeks," she finally said quietly, her eyes shining. "Three more weeks until I get to be your wife."

"More importantly, three more weeks until we can have sex," he said, only able to keep a straight face for a few seconds. It didn't help that Stella was pulling her hand back to smack him.

"Kidding!" he said, pinning her hands above her head. "Only kidding love." He kissed her softly, then raised his head, smiling. "I cannot wait until you are my wife," he said, releasing her hands to caress her face.
