Disclaimer! No, of course I am not Tamora Pierce you silly sleepy head! This is my little fluffball of fun. Enjoy!

Numair looked down at his love as he lay propped up on one elbow. He smiled, his white teeth showing against his tan skin. He watched his goddess sleeping so calmly, with not a care in the world. Her expression was soft, her brown curls spread halo-like around her head. He gently smoothed the curls out from around her face, trying not to wake her up. Her lips parted gently as she twitched from his touch and then settled, her breath deep again. Numair exhaled too; glad that he didn't wake his love.

He enjoyed the quiet times in the morning watching her sleep. Normally he wasn't a morning person, but it filled his heart with joy to know that Daine was his own. He slowly lifted his hand and began to softly rub her stomach. She murmured in her sleep, completely oblivious. Numair smiled again. Oh how happy he was to be with her! They were not yet wed, but he knew he could woo her over to be at his side. If only he could get by their age difference… but alas, he could bide his time. He kept running his hand along her abdomen, occasionally circling her navel with his finger. Daine stirred once more, grabbing his hand with her own. He laughed quietly, her hand almost dwarfed to his large one.

He leaned forward gently and kissed her forehead, his lips barely brushing her skin. Her eyebrows creased, and her expression looked worried. She slowly shook her head back and forth, clearly in a dream. Numair chuckled and kissed her again, this time softly between her brows. She began to murmur now, her mouth in a slight frown. Unable to hold his amusement, he kissed both of her cheeks quickly and softly. Daine grumbled and whimpered, twitching like a dog in a dream. Her hand on his tightened its grip and she bared her teeth. Numair laid on his back and bit his hand to keep from laughing. He looked over at her and slowly rolled onto his side again. She looked calmer now, but her brows were still creased with worry. Unable to resist one last kiss, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, lingering in spite of himself.

A growl tore from her chest and he opened his eyes to look into wolf ones. He quickly jumped backwards and fell out of the bed, landing with a thump on the floor. She launched onto him on the floor, her teeth bared, until she realized it was Numair. Slowly her muzzle faded back into her soft lips and white, small teeth. She began to laugh. She shook with laughter that pealed out like a bell. Numair laid on the floor, shocked and a little shaken. Daine was rolling by this point, tears streaming from her blue eyes.

"Numair, you should have seen yourself!" she said hoarsely. "I was dreaming that the skinners were touching my face, and I wake to see you being the culprit!"

Numair looked up at her, a grumpy expression on his face. He decided to kiss her only when she was awake from that point on. It was safer that way.

Short and sweet isn't it? If you like my little fluffy, please R &R. Hope you liked it!
