What had started out looking like it would be the end of things, a tense trial in their relationship that had tested their bond. Luckily they made it through, though rocky and not without hiccups, at least they had reached the other side intact. Edie was herself again and Kato had her back in his arms where she belonged. Although he may be displeased later to learn of exactly how Edie came about her newfound wealth it wasn't something that took up his mind at the moment. In that moment only Edie and the touch of her lips on his and his gracing her skin mattered. He easily covered her body and lavished attention in just the right spots that he learned from their time together while offering his input on where they should go. It wasn't meant to coerce her into agreeing to go somewhere she didn't like, he didn't know of her fear of it, but simply that she had started the path of him being unable to keep his hands off her while still asking him about where to go. Kato was delighted to hear Edie accept his suggestion. With that the trip was sealed. They would leave in the morning and get some much needed time away. Right now, only the present mattered and the feeling of Edie's fingers along his chest. Kato pulled his head up to look down at Edie with only love in his eyes as he divested his girlfriend of her chosen lingerie. He would not care about the noise they made, his only goal to hear his name of her lips and her cries of pleasure.

Kato felt like he could have slept forever after the romp with Edie. They had only been apart for a few days but between that and the event of the night it had pent up some much needed release until it was only near exhaustion that had him collapsing spent at Edie's side. He was asleep nearly as soon as he closed his eyes with his arm wrapped around her nude form. Normally Kato was up the moment the first rays peeked through the window but this time it was long past before his eyes slid open. It was nearly 11 o'clock as he glanced from the clock to Edie at his side. Slowly he propped up on his elbow to kiss the bare smooth skin of her shoulder. "Edie..." He whispered, "It's almost afternoon, we slept in." He would let her wake at her own pace as he had learned long ago not to rush her. "I'm going to go wash up and then we can pack."

The man slipped from the bed and shuffled naked as the day he was born into the adjoining bathroom. The hot water felt heavenly on his stiff muscles but he didn't linger long in washing up as he wanted to get going. England was quite a distance to travel. Kato wrapped a towel around his waist before reemerging back into the bedroom. "Now you're just milking it." He chuckled as he leaned over the side of the bed to press a kiss to Edie's temple before wandering away. He propped open the suitcase he had convinced Edie to abandon last night and resumed the packing for her while humming a song from his native country. "Do you want to go tell Frost that we're leaving for another trip?" He paused in his humming to question and glanced over at his girlfriend.
