Beth lightly pressed her lips to Kat's temple, her cheek, her neck, then her shoulder. Hazel eyes fluttered open to greet the teacher.

With a languid smile, Kat cuddled closer. "Hello, angel."

"Good morning, beautiful," Beth cooed.

"Have you been awake long?"

Beth beamed. "A little bit."

"So, you were watching me, huh?"

Beth chuckled, "Yes. Just like you watch me."

Kat laughed, "Yup." She leaned in and tenderly kissed her lover. "Sleep well?"

"I did. I was next to you."

"Happy Valentine's Day, darlin'; I love you."

Beth's face glowed in the morning light. With a soft, husky voice she replied, "Happy Valentine's Day to you. I love you too, Kat, with all my heart."

Kat pressed her lips to her lover's, gently brushing the thin lips with her tongue. "God, you are gorgeous. You feel so good in my arms."

Beth snuggled in tighter. "Don't let me go. Promise you won't let go."

"Never."

"I've been thinking. What do you think about my coming on tour with you this summer instead of teaching the summer session?"

Kat became excited and brought Beth away from her enough to look into her eyes. "Really? You'd want to come out on the road, traveling in an old raggedy bus, eating lousy road food with a bunch of rowdy guys?"

Beth nodded. "I know it's not the same as watching dirty movies and drinking until the early morning, but yes, if you'd have me."

"If I'd have you? Have you lost your mind, woman? I'd love for you to come with me. Baby, that'd be great. Ummm...how'd you know about the dirty movie thing?"

Beth laughed, "You think we wives don't talk to one another?"

"Darlin', you're better than any old dirty movie. You're like ten dirty movies," Kat declared playfully.

Beth rolled her eyes. "You're so charming. That's what I love about you."

Kat pulled Beth on top of her, long blonde hair falling over them both. "I'm so lucky to have you." Their lips met again, this time deeper, more sensually.

Passion rose, igniting the lovers, their hands clasped, their tongues entwined. They moved to their own rhythm; the one they knew so well from years of experience. Beth settled between Kat's legs, their sexes touching, teasing, raising their level of arousal exponentially.

Kat raised her lover slightly, allowing access to the perky, firm breasts, which she slowly devoured. Beth moaned at the delicious attention. Kat's tongue traveled between Beth's breasts, to her neck, tasting the heated skin.

With a grin, Kat brought her lover's lips to meet her own. The singer ran her hands up and down Beth's back, cupping her backside and pulling her in closer. Beth pinched the singer's sensitive nipples, causing tingles to shoot through the performer's body.

Movements became more frantic as the flames continued to build. Sounds of love and desire filled the room. The couple moved together in perfect rhythm, their arousal-soaked centers sliding against one another. Moving back and forth, the climax grew closer and closer until Kat could no longer hold on. She grasped onto Beth, her body becoming rigid as she cried out her partner's name. Watching her lover orgasm sent Beth over the edge. She suddenly moved faster until her own explosion caused her to call out, a loud groan leaving her lips.

Beth collapsed onto Kat's chest, both were breathing heavily, grinning from ear to ear; spent, but in love and satisfied. Kat held her wife in her arms and pulled the cover over them.

Still catching her breath, Kat kissed the top of Beth's head. "Oh, 'Scilla. You are incredible."

Beth lifted her head to look at her partner. "So are you. I'm still amazed at how perfectly we fit together."

"I'm not. We belong together. I knew instinctively when I saw you on campus."

Beth chuckled, "Then why didn't you ever say 'hi' or anything?"

"You scared the hell out of me." Both women laughed. "I'm serious. That kind of freaked me out. Plus, I had no clue how I was going to convince you of what I already knew to be true."

"I would say I'm thoroughly convinced now," Beth sighed. "So far, this day is perfect."

"Mmmm...Yes, it is. But, it's just beginning. How about breakfast in bed?"

Beth moved to the side. "I'd love it."

"You stay here. I'll start a fire and make some coffee and bring you a little something."

Beth rested comfortably, basking in the aftermath of their lovemaking and watching her partner. Kat started a fire in the fireplace, and within moments, the sound of coffee brewing could be heard as the smell wafted through the room. Kat disappeared into the back bedroom, where her bags were sitting, to grab her gift for her partner. She slipped a thin, red box into her robe pocket. Soon, she returned to the bed with a tray laden with coffee, muffins, and juice.

Beth's face lit up upon Kat's return. Kat carefully placed the tray on the bed and snuggled up next to her wife.

Beth moved over to kiss Kat softly. "I'm glad you're back. I missed you."

With the silly grin of a woman deeply in love, Kat replied, "I missed you too."

"You got a box in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Beth playfully inquired.

Kat laughed, "I might have something in there and it just might be for you."

"Well, I think we should open it and find out."

Unable to resist her adorable wife, Kat held out the box, which Beth excitedly grabbed. She opened it to find a red silk ribbon with a silver heart pendant. The words, 'Forever Yours' were engraved on the back.

"Awww...honey. I love it. It's beautiful," gushed Beth, wrapping her arms around Kat's neck.

Kat kissed her lover softly. "Let me put it on you." She gently tied the ribbon behind Beth's neck, leaving the heart to hang just below her throat. "That looks perfect on you."

Beth lifted her wife's hands to her lips. "I love you. Thank you."

"You're welcome and I am.....forever yours."

Beth softly agreed. "I know and I'm yours."

The two women gazed into one another's eyes for several moments, not speaking, but affirming their connection.

Finally, Kat asked, "So, ummmm..where's my gift?"

Grinning, Beth reached under the bed and brought out a gift box, wrapped in red paper and ribbon. Kat enthusiastically tore away the paper and opened the box to reveal a book with a wedding photo of herself and Beth on the cover. She took the book out of the box and began looking through its pages. She found the napkin from Threadgill's upon which she had written her phone number to give to Beth that first night they actually spoke to one another. Another page had the park map and pressed maple leaves from the camping trip where they had made love for the first time. The memory made Kat smile.

Beth watched as the singer continued to browse through the pages of the special book. Kat read an old love letter Beth had written to her and then the one she had written in return. She turned the pages to find photographs, concert ticket stubs, newspaper clippings, concert programs, and pressed flowers. Tears of happiness fell from her eyes.

Beth wiped the moisture away. "Do you like it?"

Kat peered into Beth's face. "I'm speechless. I love it, honey. It's just.....I can't describe...to see all this in one place." She reached a hand to the back of Beth's neck and lovingly pulled her in for a kiss.

Beth shrugged. "I wanted you to have something of us while you were on the road for when you get homesick."

"No wonder I love you. It's wonderful. You've put so much work into it. I can't get over some of this stuff. Some of this is seven years old. I can't believe you kept leaves from that weekend at Lost Maples."

Beth nestled Kat's hand in her own and smiled. "My darlin', that weekend changed my life. I became a woman that weekend and so did you, remember?"

Kat chuckled and brushed a strand of hair from her wife's face. "How could I possibly forget?"

The two continued to pore over the scrapbook while enjoying their breakfast. They laughed at the memories the mementos conjured. Afterward, Kat and Beth relaxed in a warm bath together, reveling in the closeness.

Kat ran her shampoo covered hands through Beth's hair, massaging her head. "I still can't get over that scrapbook. I absolutely love it. I think it's the coolest thing anyone's ever given me."

"I'm glad you like it. I had fun putting it together. Oh, that feels nice."

Kat smiled and continued her ministrations. "Oh it does, huh?"

"Mmmhmm... You have the best hands. I left pages blank so that we can keep filling them and eventually add the first pictures of our kids."

"I can't wait to have kids with you. You're going to be an incredible mom."

The singer rinsed the soap from her lover's hair. Beth settled against her partner's body.

"So are you. Someday."

With a wistful expression, Kat agreed, "Yup. Someday."

As the two dressed late that morning, Kat was anxious to check out the property; however, Beth was more content to stay close to the fire, with the hopes of cuddling up with her partner, to watch a movie.

"Oh, come on, 'Scilla. Don't you wanna come hiking with me?"

"Nope. But you go right ahead."

Tying her hiking boots, Kat asked again, "You sure?"

"Positive. I'm going to sit by the fire with my book until you get back."

"Well, alright. If I'm not back in a couple hours, come looking for me."

Beth smiled. "I will. I'll warm you up when you're done."

Kat softly kissed her partner. "I'll see you in a bit."

Beth, content and wrapped in a blanket on the couch in front of the fireplace, began reading as the door shut. Kat, her mind bent on playful adventure, set out on the property. She stomped around in the snow banks. She crunched through the settled accumulation of snow. She stood at the base of the hill, looking up. The small mount was white with snow and a path between trees was marked with orange "X"'s that had been spray painted onto the bark.

The singer began her climb, plodding through the icy snow. Every few steps, she slid back a foot. She continued to climb, becoming winded as the cold permeated her lungs. She used the trees as a guide, stopping to look around every so often. With an adventurous, kidlike enthusiasm, she moved upward, still sliding a bit now and then. Finally, she reached about eighty feet, a little more than halfway up when she turned to look down. ' Crap,' she thought, 'How in the hell am I gonna get down without slipping, falling, and killing myself?'

Accepting her defeat, she slowly and carefully stepped down the icy mountain side, going from tree to tree, holding on to keep herself from falling. She realized the easiest way would be to simply slide down on her backside. Adrenaline coursed through her veins with excitement and a modicum of fear. She slid down, occasionally yelping when she hit a rock.

Thankfully, she reached the bottom without injuring herself. ' Clearly, that wasn't my most brilliant idea.'

She headed back to the cabin, again jumping in the snowbanks with childlike glee, truly making the most of her short journey. She stood at the beginning of the bridge that went over the nearly frozen creek that ran through the property and watched the icy water, slowly trickle by. With a mischievous grin, she stepped off the bridge, deciding to take a different way across to the cabin where her wife waited.

Kat took one step on the large stones, and noticed the green moss beneath her boots, unaware of the danger. She took a second step onto another large stone, in her attempt to cross the creek. As she took a third step, she slipped on the slick, frozen moss, and fell through the thin layer of ice covering the shallow water.

The singer landed with a thud onto the hard rocks. The impact and cold water hit her as the icy fluid rushed over her. 'Oh my God. What the??? Okay, I'm not unconscious. That's good. Is anything broken? No, but everything hurts like hell. I'm so cold. I've never been so cold in my life. I have to get up. Crap. I can hardly move. Is anyone around? Should I yell for help? No. That's a last resort. This is embarrassing enough. Damn, I'm stupid. I need to get up and get inside. Now. One. Two. Three.'

Kat painfully stood, her muscles, bones, head, all aching. Her body seemed stiff from the extreme cold. She struggled to crawl onto the bank, sliding in the mud. She walked as quickly as she could over the bridge to the cabin. Each step was agony with the pain from the fall and the cold from the water and air. Ice formed on her wet hair and skin. Thankfully, she reached the cabin and banged on the door with her hurt, scraped hand.

Beth opened the door, shocked to find her wet, disheveled, dirty partner at the entrance. "Oh, my God, Kat! What in the world happened to you?"

Shivering, Kat answered, "I fell in the creek."

Beth pulled her wife into the cabin. "Get in here. You're freezing and you're all wet." She began to assist Kat in removing the saturated clothing. "Are you hurt? You're all scraped up."

Her voice strained by the chills, Kat replied, "Sore. I fell on some rocks. I'm so cold."

Concerned, Beth led her naked lover to the couch in front of the fireplace and wrapped her in blankets. Beth held her securely, slowly warming up the chilled singer. Kat's cold, sensitive skin tingled with the contact.

Beth examined her partner, concerned. "Feeling better?"

Kat nodded. "Starting to."

"So, how in the world did you fall in the creek?"

Embarrassed, Kat related her tale, "I thought it would be fun to cross the creek on the stones rather than use the bridge. There was some icy moss and I slipped and fell in."

"Good Lord, Kat. Baby, I love you, but I swear sometimes you do not have the sense God gave a horse. What if you had hit your head and were lying unconscious in that water? It would have been another hour or so until I came looking for you. The resort is practically deserted. You could have drowned or bled to death from a head wound. Look at you, honey. You look like a drowned rat. You're all scraped up."

Worn out and in pain from the fall, Kat simply nodded. "I agree. It wasn't one of my brighter moves. It's embarrassing."

Beth lifted her wife's scraped hand to her lips and kissed the wound. "What hurts?"

Kat sank leaned against her lover. "Everything."

"Did you hurt your hands or your arms? Do you think you'll be able to play?"

"Yeah. I should be able to."

Beth lovingly cupped her hand on Kat's cheek. "I'm glad you're okay. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to take you away from me." Kat gently rested her head in her lover's hand. "You're much warmer now. Why don't you take a warm bath, my love? I'll make you some tea and tuck you into bed and cuddle with you."

"I'd like that."

That night, the couple dressed for a night out in the small town. Beth looked beautiful in her burgundy velvet dress, set off by the silver heart that hung just below her throat. Kat smiled when she saw the woman she loved. Kat looked equally stunning in her black slacks, light blue button-down shirt, and jacket.

The singer lovingly wrapped her arms around her partner. "You look gorgeous, 'Scilla."

Beth beamed at her wife. "Thank you, 'E. You look beautiful, too. Still sore?"

Kat chuckled in embarrassment, "A little, not too bad. You ready?"

"Mmhmm. I just want to stand here a minute with you. I enjoy having your arms around me."

Kat moved her hands up to hold Beth's face. She rubbed her thumbs softly over her wife's cheeks, then leaned in, bringing their lips together. Kat lightly sucked on Beth's tongue and lips. Both women began to lose themselves in the loving exploration.

Kat finally pulled back, slightly dizzy. "If we don't stop this now, we'll never get out of here. Although, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. I wanted to take you out on a date."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Let's hit the road. The resort manager was telling me about a really nice place about two minutes from here on the main street. It's supposed to be nice, quiet, and romantic."

"And then maybe we can come back here and celebrate alone?"

"That's what I was hopin' for."

Her face radiating with love, Beth replied, "Then, let's go."

Kat tenderly helped Beth with her coat and then slipped on her own.

The couple noticed the inverted rainbow triangle as they approached the front door of the bistro. The small restaurant was elegantly lit and a large fireplace warmed the room. A piano sat silently in the corner. The establishment was empty but for two other couples and the staff.

Around candles and glasses of wine, Kat held her wife's hand. "I'm so glad that I'm here with you."

"So am I. You know, somehow we've managed to be together every Valentine's Day."

"Yup. And if I have anything to do with it, we won't ever miss one."

As the evening progressed, the other diners left and the couple talked a bit with the friendly staff who seemed happy to have people in the restaurant. Soon, the owner/chef came out to greet the two.

"So, how was everything?"

With her usual, glowing grin Beth answered, "Everything was wonderful."

"Good, I'm glad you enjoyed it. What brings you two to Estes Park?"

"Special Valentine's surprise. I was unable to get back home, so I had my partner come up to meet me."

The friendly chef smiled. "Oh, how nice. I'm Bruce, by the way."

"I'm Kat Green and this is my partner, Beth."

"So, where's home for you?"

"Austin, Texas," Beth answered.

"How do you like Estes Park?"

"I love it," Kat replied. "It's so quiet. There's hardly anyone here."

"It's off season for us. We're packed during the Spring and Summer. Otherwise, it's mainly year-round locals. Would you two like to join me for a cappuccino?"

The chef ordered coffees for the three of them as they continued to chat. Kat and Beth listened to additional lore about the town and the hotel. In return, Bruce learned more about the couple.

Kat gestured toward the piano in the corner. "Is that in tune?"

"Sure is," the owner replied.

"Would you mind if played a little?"

The owner was delighted by the request. "Please do. It'd be nice to have a little live music. Things get boring around here this time of year.

Kat led Beth closer to the piano and pulled out a nearby chair for her to sit. The singer sat at the piano and began to play a few chords. The staff members stopped what they were doing when they heard the music begin. Kat played a melody that was a mixture of blues and jazz. Beth lovingly watched her partner perform.

The small audience clapped and Kat gave a modest wave. Beth rose from her seat and sat next to her lover. Like a teenager in love, the singer sighed, a giant grin spread across her features.

"My Lord, you're good. That was incredible. You are unbelievably talented," The chef gushed.

Beth agreed with pride, "That's right. She's going to be a star, but then, of course, I think she's already a star. Someday, she'll be playing arenas."

"Oh, I don't doubt it. Would you mind doing another? I'd be happy to throw in some dessert, on the house of course."

Beth jumped in, "Make it chocolate and you've got a deal."

Kat laughed, "It's a good thing you aren't my manager. I'd be working for chocolate and we'd be poor."

Both women and the chef broke into more laughter. Kat began to softly play "Something". The singer never lost eye contact with her wife as she sang the love song. The music flowed easily from her fingers and lips. She sang with her heart to the woman she loved.

When she finished, Beth tenderly brushed her head against Kat's and whispered hotly into her ear, "Take me home."

Chills of anticipation ran through the singer's body. "Yes ma'am."

As they were walking out, chocolate desserts in a small bag, the chef stopped them. "Kat, would you mind sending me a signed 8x10 glossy. I want to put it up on the wall. You're going to be real big someday."

Kat nodded graciously. "Thank you. I sure will."

As they walked to the rental car, Beth wrapped her arms around Kat's waist. Kat leaned in closer to her partner.

Her voice soft, and a little husky, Beth said, "You make me so proud."

Kat smiled shyly and responded, "That's what matters most to me."

At the cabin a few minutes later, the couple began to prepare for a memorable night. An idea was cooking in the singer's head to make the night special for the woman she loved.

"Darlin, why don't you go put on something more comfortable? I'll start a fire and we can share some dessert," suggested Kat with a wicked gleam in her eye.

With the perfect outfit in mind, Beth easily agreed, "Sounds great."

In the back bedroom, Beth changed into a cream-colored nightgown with spaghetti straps and pastel colored flowers and leaves at the top of her breasts. The satin material came down to just above her knees with a slit on the side that went up her thigh.

Kat was busy moving the couch backward, making room directly in front of the fireplace. She pulled pillows, sheets, and blankets off the bed and out of the closet, preparing a makeshift bed for the couple. Imagining what was about to happen on the blankets and pillows, Kat smiled, kicked off her shoes, slipped off her jacket and waited for her lover.

When Kat saw Beth, her voice left her. She tried to speak, but could only stutter and stumble. Beth sauntered over to waiting lover, her long blonde hair falling over her porcelain skin. Beth kneeled beside the singer, whose eyes were transfixed.

"My God, you are gorgeous." Kat leaned in and ran her hands along the top of Beth's nightgown.

Their lips met, connecting their hearts.

"Happy Valentine's Day, E."

Kat beamed. "Awww...Happy Valentine's Day, 'Scilla. I love you so much."

Beth straddled her partner's lap, the light colored satin draped over Kat's black slacks. Kat wrapped her arms around her lover's waist. Beth placed her arms around Kat's neck, caressing the back of her head with her nails.

The singer immediately began to melt. "Oh, you know how I love that."

Her face inches away from Kat's, Beth grinned and nodded, then brought their lips together. "Mmmmhmmm," the blonde seductress purred.

"You make me weak."

"That's the point, my love."

Kat ran her hands over the soft satin covering her wife's skin. Beth began to unbutton the singer's shirt. When she reached the bottom and final button, she unfastened the slacks and slipped them off, leaving Kat in her black panties, open shirt, and black bra.

Kat reached over to the small side table and grasped a small plate that held a large piece of chocolate cake. She cut a forkful of cake and placed it between Beth's lips.

Beth moaned her pleasure, "Ohhhhh..that's lovely."

Then reached over with her finger, scooped up some of the decadent chocolate and placed it in Kat's mouth. The singer deeply sucked the offered finger, flicking her tongue around it, teasing her partner. Beth's heart began to pound harder as her arousal grew.

Kat reached over, dipping her own finger into the dessert. She then wiped the chocolate along Beth's neck. Beth bit her lip in anticipation. Kat leaned over and licked the sweetness off warm, perfumed flesh. "That's even better."

Giggling, Beth scooped up some chocolate and smeared it between Kat's full breasts. With a gleam in her eye, she dipped her tongue in the singer's cleavage, licking up the dessert. Kat's eyes closed as she felt the warm mouth on her skin. She lowered her wife onto the blanket and hovered over her. She lowered her lips and her body, settling between Beth's legs.

Beth gently lowered Kat's shirt off her shoulders, tossing it aside. Kat moved down her lover's body, dragging her face across the satin. She caressed Beth's legs with her expert fingers. The couple's eyes met, smoldering like the fire that bathed them in its golden glow.

"You are so incredibly beautiful, 'Scilla. Your skin is so soft and you smell amazing."

Kat lifted the nightgown off her lover and kissed the now exposed skin. Beth squeezed her partner's breasts through the material of her bra. Frustrated by the barrier between her and her target, Beth unsnapped the garment, releasing Kat to her attentions. Kat gasped as Beth's thumbs brushed against her taut nipples.

Kat pulled away once more and dipped her finger in the chocolate dessert. She grinned at Beth in anticipation of what she had in mind. With her chocolate-laden finger, she drew a heart on Beth's quivering stomach. With more chocolate, she drew smaller hearts around Beth's nipples and a line from the heart on her mid-section to the golden triangle between her legs.

Giggling, Beth questioned, "What are you doing?"

"I'm painting on you. Hold still."

Beth continued to laugh, "You're tickling me."

Kat then licked the dessert off her fingers and kissed her lover deeply. She then wiggled her eyebrows playfully and then began to follow the chocolate trail with her tongue.

Beth writhed as her nipples were carefully licked, sucked, and nibbled until they were clean. Beth moaned her desire. "Ohhhh, Kat. I love the way you love me."

With her eyes locked on her partner, Kat dragged the tip of her tongue down between Beth's breasts, until reaching the chocolate on her stomach. Beth wiggled and squirmed as Kat licked and sucked at her skin. Finally, Kat had to hold her in place.

Beth was eventually clean, but dripping with desire. Kat moved back up to kiss her wife.

"Turn over, darlin'."

Beth did as she was asked and Kat covered her body with her own. With their hands clasped together, their wedding rings shining in the firelight, Kat kissed the back of her wife's neck. She moved lower to kiss her shoulders, her back, knowing it was one of Beth's favorite things. The singer smiled at the response from her lover. Beth moaned and arched higher against her.

Beth's skin was warm and soft against Kat's lips. She continued to move lower until she reached Beth's small, but round behind. Kat kneaded and massaged the tissue, bending down to kiss and place a love bite on the left cheek, causing Beth to jump and shriek.

Beth was teetering on the edge of ecstasy and torture. Each kiss and caress fanned the flame that was already threatening to consume her. Her clit throbbed as her desire flowed freely. Inside, she ached to be filled by the woman she loved. Kat's lips and skilled hands were driving Beth to the point of begging for what she needed.

As if reading Beth's thoughts, Kat turned her over again. She pressed their lips together, their tongues dancing and tasting one another. Kat continued to tease her lover as she traced Beth's mouth with her tongue.

Kat reached down and slid easily through Beth's lips. "You are so wet. Is that all for me?"

Her hips rising of their own accord, Beth hissed, "Yessssss. For you."

"I want to taste you," Kat hotly whispered.

"Oh, please. I need you," Beth groaned.

Kat immediately granted her partner's request. She loved the way her lover tasted when she was like this. Beth raised her hips to increase the contact. She moaned and writhed, desperate for release. Kat's tongue flicked and stroked sensitive flesh. Beth pulled her wife's head in closer, as her climax grew near.

As she lapped up the liquid heat, Kat added two fingers, causing Beth to cry out. The singer felt her lover's body tense and heard her moaning increase. She sucked on the swollen clit and thrust faster, sending Beth over the edge. The teacher stiffened and screamed her release.

Kat began to slow as the aftershocks ran through Beth's body. She moved steadily, deeply, drawing out every last sensation. The singer knew her lover wasn't yet finished. Her steady movements increased.

"Oh, Kat, you're going to make me come again."

Kat had moved up beside her partner, cradling Beth against her, as she moved in and out. Beth grabbed onto Kat as she gave herself over to the sensations.

"Ohhhh. That's it, my baby. You're so close aren't you? I can feel it. Feels so good," Kat cooed near Beth's ear.

"Yessssss. Don't stop."

"Never. Come for me, baby. I got you. Let it go. Give it to me," Kat commanded lovingly.

Beth's world exploded as her climax burst from her. She twisted further into Kat's arms as the singer held onto her. She screamed again, crying out her lover's name.

"That's my girl. So beautiful," purred Kat as her lover tightened around her fingers.

Kat's movements slowed as Beth's orgasm began to dissipate. Beth was left shivering in her lover's arms with Kat still inside her. The singer reached down and pulled the blanket around them. They remained connected for several minutes, both under love's spell, struck silent by the powerful intensity of being together. Kat tenderly pressed her lips to the top of Beth's head and gently withdrew from her.

Beth then began her soft kisses over Kat's face. She caressed the singer's cheek with her palm. Beth's dark eyes shone with love and her face lit with a soft smile. "I love you, Kat Green. Your love is the greatest thing I've ever known. I feel you in my bones. You're in my blood. It's so intense and overwhelming and comforting. It stops my breath."

Kat closed her eyes, absorbing the words of the woman she loved. "I see so many different things traveling all the time. I've seen the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls. I've seen the sun set in the desert and come up over the ocean. You and your love are what truly amaze me. Every night I sing in front of hundreds and occasionally thousands of people. Every night, every song is for you and to you."

With tears in her eyes, and unable to speak, Beth kissed her wife deeply, expressing her emotion with her lips. She ran her hands firmly over Kat's inviting body. She pressed her lips in turn to each of the singer's full breasts. Beth's long, thin fingers found their way to Kat's wet center.

Beth explored the sensitive area, feeling the familiar textures, stroking gently between the two lips. Kat moaned upon contact. Beth continued to tease, bringing her lover higher and higher. Kat matched the rhythm of the teacher's fingers with her hips. Beth slipped inside her partner and the two moved together. Sounds of passion filled the romantic cabin.

Kat held out as long as she could until finally giving in to her climax. She came hard, grasping onto her lover's body, a deep, guttural groan escaping from her throat. Kat trembled as she struggled to catch her breath.

Beth held her lover securely, whispering, "I got you, my love."

Kat's breathing returned to normal, leaving her in a blissful state. "Have I told you today that marrying you was the smartest thing I've ever done?"

Beth chuckled, "No, but thank you, and ditto."

Kat released a long sigh. "You are amazing. You rock me to my core."

Beth kissed her partner softly. "You're pretty incredible yourself."

"I love you so much. I think this has been the best Valentine's Day ever."

Beth tenderly touched Kat's face. "I love you too, with all my heart. And yes, this has been our best Valentine's Day yet."

Beth turned over allowing her partner to spoon against her. The singer wrapped her arm protectively around her wife, holding her close as the fire crackled. Kat leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Beth's bare shoulder. She nuzzled her nose into Beth's blonde hair, breathing in the scent. She noticed the snow falling outside and rose from the floor. The white flakes, illuminated against the backdrop of the trees, the night sky, framed the scene like a postcard.

"Beth, honey. It's snowing. It's beautiful."

Beth stood as well, bringing the blanket with her and wrapping it around the two of them. "Wow. That is gorgeous. You certainly don't see that back home."

"Now, this is perfect. Let's sit on the couch and watch the snow fall."

Beth sat on the couch, with Kat in front of her, leaning back into her arms. The blanket was still wrapped around them, giving the couple warmth. The crackle of the fire was the only sound in the room as the two women watched the snow fall in silence, closely holding one another.

"Sing something for me," Beth requested.

Kat held Beth's hand in hers and turned toward her.

Soft tears fell from Beth's eyes as she smiled. With her thumb, Kat reached over and gently wiped the tears away.
