A/N- I love this pairing so much that I just had to write this short oneshot on them :)

Tell me what you think, k?

Implicit love

Shiki stared lazily at the beautiful model lying peacefully on his bed. His blue eyes roved about her and calmly observed the way her petite frame curled up to sleep. Her shoulder was bare as her orange hair was spread across her pillow. She wore a white lace panty and a matching vest alone, leaving her creamy smooth legs exposed. She was very beautiful in form.

As if feeling his fixated eyes on her, the model shifted slightly.

Rima turned around and found her husband gazing at her intently. Evidently he had just come out of the shower, if the droplets on his neck from his dripping red hair were any indication. Also, he was only wearing a long black pants and the towel that he had slung over his shoulder and bare chest. As Rima noted his appearance, she took a deep breath as her eyes fell on his sleek body- his perfectly toned muscles and chiseled chest.

Shiki slanted his head to the left slightly and outstretched his arms as if extending an invitation to her.

Rima of course knew what he implied, but she narrowed her blue eyes and complained, "Aren't you going to let me get some sleep?"

"No, it's nighttime. You shouldn't be sleeping now," Shiki replied in a straightforward manner. "I have other things in mind," he added with a devilish smirk.

Rima shook her head. Although it was against her vampire instincts to sleep at night, she had no other choice at the moment. "You know I have my modeling job in the morning. They've changed my shift to the day, but just for tomorrow alone. So I have to get my rest now."

Her handsome husband grumbled and disappeared into the bathroom. Rima lay back down to sleep. Shiki soon reappeared and pushed the covers to snuggle in beside his wife. Rima shifted her body to face him and said softly, "You don't have to sleep now, if you don't want to, you know."

"I know," he replied calmly. He didn't need to further explain himself. She knew. Rima always knew what he was thinking. Shiki didn't need to sleep with her, but he wanted to. He loved holding his wife when she slept. He loved feeling her warm breath on his chest as he rested his chin against her forehead. And he loved waking up to her beautiful face everyday, whether morning or night.

Rima knew all this. She looked up to her loved one's face and played fondly in his damp hair. Their blue eyes locked and she kissed his lips chastely. Then she nuzzled his neck and placed soft, tender kisses along his collar bone.

Shiki turned slowly as he passed his slender fingers gently along Rima's face. He bent his body over and licked her neck sensually. He sucked on her pulse area for a while and the sensation made her squirm beneath him. He raised his head to face her, peering into her sweet, honest eyes that looked at him with so much love and understanding. He knew that she felt the same way that he did.

He leaned in and kissed her softly. Rima responded and allowed him to taste the sweet flavor unique to her as she expertly ran her tongue along the insides of his mouth.

Later that night, Shiki wrapped his arms around his dear wife, for that was the only way he can have a peaceful rest at night. Both he and Rima knew that the love they shared was so deep and true, it did not even need to be communicated with words.

***************************************************

This was very short, but I just wanted to write something that might capture the deep love that Shiki and Rima share. Though unspoken, it's understood.

Please review and tell me what you think of it!!
