Amy yawned as she woke up with a long hard stretch. 


"Whoa, watch it there love." Des chuckled as he leaned over and licked her cheek. Amy smiled as she wrapped her arms around him, "Good morning." She cooed with a soft giggle as she nuzzled into him. Des gently flicked his tongue against their mark on her neck. She shivered, "Whoa..."

"Are you okay love?" Des grunted as Amy stumbled and rested more of her weight on him than he realized.
