He felt exactly that way. To have her and cherish her. To make love to her and then f.u.c.k her. Show her exactly how much he loved her soul and her body.
Katherine called his name as her body writhed from pleasure. Cage barely noticed his own orgasm as he watched in awe. 'So beautiful,' he thought, watching her skin flush and the light sheen of sweat on her body gleam as she repeated his name over and over again.
Orgasms were nice but nothing compared to how she looked when she was swept by passion. Nothing.
She needed moments of peace after that. Breathing heavily until she regulated it and gave him a small, satiated smile. "You look…" she scrunched her nose. Adorable.
He shook his head. "I was a bit tired but the image of you… I'll have it engraved in my mind until I can see you like that in person again." The thought occurred to him. Cage needed him by her side. "I need you to decide if you want to travel with me when I start shooting the next movie." It was an abrupt change in conversation.
Katherine was startled but took a moment to think about it before coming to a decision. "My family knows we shared the cabin. I'm old enough to make a decision and I think I want to go with you. I can't stand the distance. I'll get used to the schedule shortly and I can work remotely from then on."
All these logical reasons were said to imply one thing. "I can't live without you anymore."
"Thank you for making my life better." Cage wrung his hands together and wondered how he had gotten so lucky. Katherine snickered as she saw his nervous expression fade. In contract to his glorious n.a.k.e.d body, the lack of confidence in his charm was striking.
This silly man.
"You're it for me," she sighed, acting as if she was disappointed. "You won't get rid of me easily." She shrugged. "I'll have to ensure we are happy and you won't leave me." If only it were that simple, but for them it was.
"That's my job from now on. Whenever you need me, you call. Even if you are bored, I want you to come to me. I'll make sure Stephen takes all of your calls and the staff knows not to talk to me when I am with you." His dedication was impressive.
But not at the cost of his reputation and career. "You don't have to do that. I enjoy talking to you on your free time. Watching the exhaustion slowly seep out of your body is the highlight of my day." She was confident in her skills because he had the exact effect on her. Moreover, she was good at reading him, security in yourself and your relationship does that to you.
"You know everything!" he exclaimed. "But I don't mind if you are bothered. You're first." The sweet smile came on.
'You're first, too,' she thought to herself. They spoke for a little longer before he yawned.
"I just experienced the universe," Katherine teased when he shut his mouth closed.
"Well, I am your universe, so it's not an issue," he uttered, being obtuse on purpose.
"Now that you have stroked your ego, go sleep. Enough chatting and fooling around." Cage grumbled something about real life getting in the way of his happiness but reluctantly agreed to hang up.
"See you soon, love. I love you." She waited, watching as he picked up the laptop, his face filling the screen. Cage gave her a last smile and told her he loved her again before disconnecting.
Katherine would carry that expression on his face with her while they were far away from one another. Six more weeks. No matter how busy either of them were, it was six more weeks of missing each other like crazy.

Katherine was standing in front of the hotel and waiting for Laurence to pick them up. Angelina had started to prepare for the runway show and her diet had become restrictive. Katherine was trying to convince her that the food she cooked would suffice, but Angelina thought otherwise. She was superstitious and usually ate certain foods so that it would bring her luck before a show.
Katherine understood eventually and didn't force her to do anything.
Laurence had come out of the hotel and looked around to see them standing across the corner.
"There you are," he exclaimed, running to them. "I told you that the hotel wasn't that far," he said, gesturing towards the building.
"You're right," Angelina replied with a nod. It had been closer than they anticipated and it had taken about ten minutes for them to arrive, earlier than the scheduled time.
"Ladies," he said, bowing and holding his hand out to beckon them forward.
"Thank you," Katherine politely replied. As they walked to the entrance, Laurence's arm brushed against hers and he jolted away. Katherine glanced at him curiously but didn't say anything.
'So the romance books had it right. You do feel an electric current when you touch someone.' If Katherine had heard this thought in Laurence's mind, she would have advised him to go see a doctor or a psychic. Feeling electricity in your body wasn't normal.
Laurence led them inside the spacious structure and took them to the tenth floor. He stopped in front of a room and knocked. When the response didn't come, he fumbled to find the keys. Finally opening the door and allowed the ladies to go through first.
"Sorry, Ian and I aren't the cleanest people," he apologized as they entered and saw the room in utter disarray. Though the suite was wide and open, almost every surface was covered with clothes packets of snacks or takeout boxes.
Angelina wondered if hotels allowed guests to bring in food from outside, the answer to which was that these two had sneaked it in without others knowing. Fair enough. Hotel food was expensive. Katherine didn't mind much but bit her lip when she realized that they would have to clean up before filming the video.
