Inez lay on her side and watched Ezra sleeping beside her. His youthful features were even more boyish when he was relaxed in sleep. He was on his stomach, one arm thrown over her abdomen, the other flung above his head and his legs entwined with hers. 

The radio played softly in the background. 

Lying here with you 
Listening to the rain 
Smile just to see 
The smile upon your face 

She reached over and brushed a lock of hair off his forehead. Letting her fingertips linger, she thought of what he had come to mean to her. She thought of all the moments that lead them to this night. Her fingertips began a slow journey over the handsome features of his face, lightly down his neck and then stopped at his chest, where she could feel his heart beating. 

These are the moments 
I thank God that I'm alive 
And these are the moments 
I'll remember all my life 
I've found all I've waited for 
And I could not ask for more 

Ezra began to stir and Inez waited to see if he would wake. He rolled onto his back and the hand that had rested across her stomach now lay on his chest. When it appeared to her that he had settled into a deep sleep once again, Inez renewed her gentle exploration of his body. She began to trail her fingertips over the flat plane of his stomach. The muscles quivered slightly under her hand and she smiled. 

Looking in your eyes 
Seeing all I need 
Everything you are 
Is everything in me 

Staring at where the sheets had slid dangerously low around his waist, she wondered if she should let her fingers continue their journey. With a sultry grin her lover couldn't see, her fingers resumed their travel and began to slip lower. 

These are the moments 
I know heaven must exist 
And these are the moments 
I know all I need is this 
I've found all I've waited for, yeah 
And I could not ask for more 

She was surprised when his hand caught hers in a firm grip. "I wouldn't do that," he drawled, "unless you're willing to face the consequences." 

She looked at him. He had one eye opened and was looking at her with a self-satisfied smirk. 

I could not ask for more than this time together 
I could not ask for more than this time with you 
And every prayer has been answered 
Every dream I've had's come true 

"I thought you were sleeping," she smiled, biting her lip. 

"I was until you began to tickle me." 

Yeah, right here in this moment 
Is righInezere I'm meant to bee 
Here with you here with me 
Yeah 

She shrugged. "I'm sorry." 

Ezra's smile grew wider. "I'm not," he stated simply. He pushed her hand down under the sheet where she had wanted to go and she could feel that, in deed, he wasn't sorry. 

These are the moments 
I thank God that I'm alive 
And these are the moments 
I'll remember all my life 
I've found all I've waited for 
And I could not ask for more 

He rolled and pinned her gently under his warm body. She fought back a giggle. 

His hands were lovingly stroking her face. "I'm glad I came here tonight," he whispered. 

I could not ask for more than this time together 
I could not ask for more than this time with you 
And every prayer has been answered 
Every dream I've had's come true 

"So am I," she said softly. 

Yeah, right here in this moment 
Is right where I'm meant to be 
Oh, here with you here with me 

He carefully entered her as she pulled his face down to hers for a hungry kiss. 

He was being deliberately slow and she locked her ankles around him in an effort to pull him deeper. 

No, I could not ask for more 
Than this love you gave me 
Cause it's all I've waited for 

"God, Ezra," she said raggedly. "I love you." She could feel the tears in her eyes as he began to move faster. 

And I could not ask for more 
No, yeah 
No, I could not ask for more 

He began to kiss them away. "And I love you." 

She shuddered and tightened around him, driving him over the edge. 

And she realized how glad she was to have her future so dependant on this man. 


The End
