What Your Love Can Do To Me. by NessaJayn ©2014, Aug 13th.

(A/N: this is a continuation to “You Saved Me, Like You Saw My Old Me”)

The morning Caribbean sunlight moved gently across the bed bathing Chris and Jill in the warm, morning heat. The warmth of the sun gently caused him to slowly awaken from sleep as the sunlight warmed her bare back. The feel of Jill's naked body beside him under the sheets made him smile as he rubbed his eyes.

He couldn't believe how much he felt like a bumbling fool as he stood under the warm pulsating spray of the shower not long after they had first arrived at the resort. Desperately trying to think of ways to express to Jill his deepest desires and how much he had missed her.  And dreading if the idea of proposing to her was too soon. He soon remembered with a smile how much Jill loved his simplicity when it came to expressing his feelings for her, and how they were moments that she treasured with him.

As he dried himself from his shower, a slight shiver ran up his spine as he also thought about how incredibly frightening it had been to have to try and carry on without her, after everyone had thought she had died in action. Her funeral and the headstone bearing her name did nothing to help his state of mind. Those past feelings for him had all disappeared the moment he found her during his mission in Africa. But the sight of her being controlled by Wesker, and the look of evil on her face when Wesker had removed the black hood as he was forced to fight her, broke his heart. The evil snarl on Jill's face threatened to break his concentration on the fight, if he hadn't heard Sheva's voice suggesting that the only way to save her was to destroy the device on her chest.

The melodic sound of Jill's voice humming a tune carried through the wall, and brought Chris back to reality with a breath of relief that she truly was back to the woman he always knew, and alone with him for three weeks at a romantic resort. As he gazed at the diamond ring in his hand with a smile, he knew he had to take a chance as he placed the ring in the back pocket of his jeans as he left the bathroom towel-drying his hair.

With a slight shake of his head after rubbing his tired eyes, he happily watched his new fiancee sleep with her head on his chest. It made him even more glad he had taken the chance with his marriage proposal as he watched her steady breathing. His arms moved to curl around her possessively as one of his large hands reached up to comb his fingers lightly through her chestnut brown hair. As the rhythm of her steady breathing lulled Chris into a state of relaxation, his mind began to recall the incredible events of the previous night.

Forever burned in his memory was the stunning sight of Jill naked in his arms, and perched in his lap like a queen with her skin adorned in full moonlight. It was a moment he needed to feel and experience, and to contemplate what he knew for certain, that his beloved Jill was alive and back to the strong and confident woman he always knew and loved.

And just how much that love between them demanded to be rekindled.
As much as Chris wanted to be in control and show Jill through his actions just how much he had truly missed her, the strong and confident look in her smiling eyes above him spoke volumes to him that she had the same desire.
He had always considered Jill to be a strong and confident woman, and a unique beauty.
But to see her like this, naked in his arms with her hair down and alabaster skin bathed in moonlight, made her look even more ethereal as he sat up to embrace her.

The gentle sensation of Jill's fingers gliding over every inch of his skin she could reach, made him close his eyes in contentment, and buried his face to her chest and inhaled the scent of her skin as he cradled her in his arms. He hummed in approval as he felt her fingers comb through and her lips place a soft kiss in his thick hair. The sensation felt like he was floating back to memories he treasured with the woman in his arms. All of the years they had worked together and built up a strong foundation of friendship, trust and loyalty as STARS members, was something he treasured with Jill. Their survival of the incident at the mansion as part of the STARS team solidified that bond even more, and becoming a part of the BSAA felt like a new chapter in their working lives as partners and friends.

The feel of her naked body in his arms as they were illuminated in the soft moonlight completely shattered all of those horrifying days of trying to survive without her, as he felt Jill's soft hands gently lift his face from her chest to capture his lips in a gentle kiss. No one was trying to dominate the other for control in the kiss. It was fuelled purely by their strong love and desire for each other as Chris guided her down on the bed underneath him without breaking their kiss. Jill shivered in delight as she felt Chris' hand caress her thigh that she had curled around his hip, and almost cried as she felt their bodies become one as he strengthened his passion for her through the kiss.

Chris' thoughts were pleasantly interrupted when he felt Jill stretch to awaken from sleep. He loosened his hold on her to allow her to move as she rolled on to her back. She hummed at the feel of the warm sun bathing her cleavage, along with the feel of Chris' large hand on her stomach after he had adjusted the bedsheets to keep their bodies partially covered.

Jill could feel Chris' eyes on her as she turned her head slightly to be greeted by his warm smile and intense gaze. The intensity of his gaze should have made her feel exposed, but instead, it made her feel beautiful. Chris' gaze was one of incredible pride as he leaned down and placed gentle kisses to the scars on her chest, while his hand moved from her stomach to caress her cleavage.

“Why did you do that?” Jill asked softly, as she placed her hand on his cheek to then glide through his hair. Chris simply smiled as his hand lifted away from her skin, and reached for her hand in his hair and linked their fingers together.

“In my eyes, those scars on your chest no longer symbolise a devastating moment in both our lives, but rather, my greatest rescue mission and who it is I saved!” Chris answered softly and kissed her hand. Jill was speechless at his simple answer, but it also made her realise with a smile that the ordeal had badly affected them both and threatened to destroy their strong bond in each other. But their strength and determination had won over, and solidified their bond even stronger than before.

“Claire and Leon are going to be so surprised when we tell them the news!” Jill grinned as she gazed at the diamond ring on her finger.

“Knowing my sister, she'll be squealing in delight. But Claire has always looked at you as a sister, so I know she'll be happy.” Chris grinned in return.

“What about Leon?” Jill grinned as she confidently moved to straddle his hips to rest on his muscled chest, and hummed in delight at the feel of his fingers trailing the length of her spine.

“He's a man of loyalty, and has never let me down before. He'll be just as happy as Claire.” Chris answered softly as he guided Jill's hair from her face.

Chris' keen sense of hearing picked up the sound of Jill humming a tune as her left hand glided over his shoulder. He couldn't help but close his eyes and listen to her sweet voice as one of his hands came to rest on her thigh under the bedsheets. It was one of the things he truly missed about the woman in his arms as his other hand continued to trail along her spine. It amazed him how quickly Jill had rediscovered her love of the piano, and became one of the focal points of her therapy after he had rescued her in Africa. He could easily just sit and listen to her play the piano for hours. It didn't matter to him if the tune she was playing was the 'Moonlight Sonata', or a melody weaved together from the feelings in her heart. The sight of her sitting at the piano with her fingers dancing over the keys with the grace of any professional, how she would occasionally close her eyes and lose herself in the melody, it always made him smile.

It was something about her he had grown to love, and appreciate even more when that melodic sound had been silenced by her “death”.  For Jill, her love of the piano had not only been incredibly valuable in her therapy as she recovered from her ordeal in Africa, but it gave her an outlet to escape the horrors of the world. She especially loved it when Chris would straddle the large piano stool to sit next to her, and just hold her as she played.  Jill's humming stopped when she felt Chris place a gentle kiss to the top of her head.

“It's one of the things I really missed about Jill, your love of music.” Chris answered softly, as he sat up with Jill in his arms, and slid himself to lean against the headboard. Jill grinned as she moved to sit in between his legs, as his strong arms curled around her. She hummed in delight as she felt his lips on skin, as she clutched at the bedsheets in one hand.

“Is that all you missed about me?” Jill asked though her hum of delight as her hands found his thighs under the sheets, and melted against his strong frame in contentment. Chris couldn't help but chuckle lightly against her beautiful skin.

“I missed everything about you Jill. This is what your love does to me.” Chris answered softly against her skin, as his hands caressed every inch of her possessively, and grinned in delight when he felt her body respond to his gentle touch.

As they sat in comfortable silence in each other's arms, they knew this was the ultimate reward for their combined endurance, as Chris captured his future bride's lips in another gentle kiss with the sound of the ocean waves rolling in the distance.

The End.
