He laughed as he was tackled. She was clearly delighted.
Kissing her as she lay on top of him "you are welcome,love. I am glad you like it.
He reached over and picked it up,handing it to her.
"Play us something" he said with a smile
It would make the moment all that more special, if it was graced by her music.

She grinned, then sat up, still straddling him, and closed her eyes. The music she played was a happy, lilting tune. Spritely yet mysterious. She let herself get carried away with the music. How she had missed this! She started another tune when that one was finished, this next one was more serious, with an urgent undertone. She loved it. When that tune was finished, she held the flute protectively close to her.

Niko smiled as she played,still sat on him.
She played two,very good songs. He saw how she seemed to revel as she played.
As she held the flute close to her Niko asked
"You are pleased with it?" He already knew she was but for some reason he wanted to hear her say it.

"I am beyond pleased with it. You've given a part of myself back to me." her eyes shone with unshed tears. He had indeed given her one of the most beautiful things in the world. "How can I ever repy you?" she laid back down, her head on his chest.

As her head rested on his chest his hand found her cheek, stroking it.
"You already have,dearest. In so many ways." He pressed his lips to the top of her head, while his other hand proceeded to rub her back protectively.
"You play beautifully.
" It is a reward in itself just to hear you play"

"thank you." she whispered again, reveling in his touch. She pressed closer to him, her cloak forgotten on the ground beside them. She was content to lay like that. Just enjoying his touch. The way he rubbed her back relaxed her. Her muscles and body responded to him, seeming to melt right down into him. She sighed "You don't even have to try and you make me happy."

"I had hoped you would say something similar, it took me hours to make" he said,laughing.
Niko brought the blanket and pulled it over both of them, his hand still rubbing her back.
He himself had no desire for their embrace to end,the warmth and closeness they were sharing,he truly was happy.

She chuckled with him "They were hours well spent. It's beautiful." she sighed happily as he covered them both with the blanket. His hand was still moving over her back, and it felt wonderful. The knots in her muscles seemed to just melt away. She wasn't in need or want of anything. She had him, and he treated her like a queen. He had made her a new flute! She would treasure it, and keep it with her all the time. Her hand rested on his chest alongside her head, and she began caressing his cheat with her thumb.

" A small price,for your happiness"
He noted how she responded to his touch, he moved his other hand to her back as well and began to rub her gently,hoping to relax her further.
"If there is anything you desire of me,you have but to ask"
He loved this woman with every fibre of his being, her happiness was all that mattered.

She smiled "there is nothing I need or want. Your company, your presence and love is all I need or want." she meant every word she spoke. "Oh, that feels good..." she moaned as his hands moved over her back. His fingers leaving tingly, relaxed spots wherever they touched. This was the life.

He smiled at her words,touched.
As she spoke Niko proceeded to do the same all over her body. His hands moved from her back,to her hips,her sides andback up to her shoulders and neck relieving tension as he went.
He enjoyed spoiling her, doing whatever he had to to make her happy.
"If you like I will continue to massage you." He looked at her,he liked how he could please her so and relax her.He waited for an answer, hoping for a yes.

"Oh...oh yes..." was all she could moan out. Her body relaxed more, and her sigh was one of complete happiness. She could not move, the massage felt so wonderful. Her body was limp, and there was almost a delirious smile on her face "Your hands do wonders..."

He smiled at her words. ''Perhaps you are right'' he whispered as his fingers brushed between her legs.
Niko continued to massage her while she lay against him, not missing a spot from her back to her neck. He gently slipped out from underneath her and as she lay on her stomach he began to work on the back of her thighs down to her feet. Following this he returned to her back and shoulders, all the while planting soft kisses here and there for her enjoyment.
After thoroughly working on her back her gently rolled her over and started on her front. He gently ran his fingers over her belly, her chest, all the way through to her arms and right the way down to her legs.
He then took both of her feet in turn and began to rub them, relieving the tension of the days they had spent running and walking. Moving back up slowly to the front of her thighs Niko hoped that that had pleased her.
He pressed a kiss between her legs and lay down, softly pulling her on top of him so they were in the same position as when they started.

She gasped as his fingers brushed momentarily between her legs, then closed her eyes and was lost in his relaxing touch. She sighed, hardly able to believe how lucky she was. When he had finished, she felt amazing. "Thank you..." she hugged him, and her hips presses against his "That felt like magic." her eyes were closed still. Her hands found his sides and moved up and down in slow caresses."I love you, my Niko. My husband."

He returned her hug,smiling at her.
''You're welcome,love. I love you too, wife.''He pulled the blanket over them both again as she began to stroke his sides.
Her touch relaxed him as he slowly began to drift off again. He wrapped his arms around her waist and fell into a light sleep.

She smiled as he drifted off, and laid her head down again. She could feel herself grow tired as well. Her hands traced adverbs minded circles on his sides, then slowly stopped as she drifted off too.
