What's in a Dream?

Part 1 The Premonition

Dim images danced along the bedroom walls…silence.

The soft glow from the candles made the whole experience seem enchanting and forbidden…a familiar voice.

Warm air was blown against the inner surface of her ear…breathing.

'This is…' her thoughts trailed off, she couldn't concentrate, not to save her life.

A movement near her mid section, which was beneath the white satin sheets, caught her attention and held it for a moment, but just a moment.

She put a trembling hand over the sheets and felt the muscular curves beneath it, someone was lying on top of her.

Elle knew that she should've felt scared, this 'mysterious male' had his arms wrapped around her, his lips pressed against the most sensitive regions of her body, and the intrusion he had made beneath the sheets, unforgivable! She laid there, gasping for breath, she didn't want this to end, whoever he was…he was EXACTLY what she wanted, no, needed!

"I love you," came the tantalizing voice once again. Elle gasped for air as their bodies moved closer, rocking back and forth, joining in ways she never thought she'd experience.

Kisses and caressing of all parts of her quaking body, which was tremulous with anticipation, drove her wild as the heat of it all overtook her and caused her to wail out in cries of passion and pleas for more.

The male didn't seem to mind, he was on the verge of blissful insanity himself, he seemed to be driven over the edge by her cries. Neither lover was ready to pull away, both would've been content to stay in that dark, humid room for the rest of their life…

"Don't leave me." Elle begged as the sensations around her quavering body grew weak, she wanted more, no matter the cost, she loved this man, whoever he was.

The last words she remembered calling were, "Who are you?"

The reply was the last thing she remembered seeing, the candle light flickered against his sweaty chest, it was…green? The pale light traveled up his body as he sat upright on top of her, Elle's blue eyes widened at the unexpected sight of her partner, 'X?!'.

****

Elle awoke with a start and nearly tumbled out of bed. She breathed heavily, utterly confused about what she had just seen. 'Whoa, I just had a *shivers* sexual fantasy about X?!'

She looked around her and saw that she had kicked the covers off of her bed sometime during the night. It was pretty hot in her room, unusually warm, for spring. Orion sprang up onto the bed and curled into a small ball in her lap. The night shirt she was wearing ended just above her knees. Elle glanced over at the clock on her nightstand, "7:30, I guess I'd better get dressed. No doubt X is already up and downed at least 3 cups of coffee by now."

Elle winced at the thought of her partner and the dream that she had just had. "Oh well," she side aloud to no one in particular, Orion had already dozed off, "what's in a dream?"

It had been more of a nightmare for Elle. No matter how much she had subconsciously enjoyed it. Not that she had! Uh…at least, she HOPED that she hadn't really.

She and X had been at each other's throats since they first met, how could she just dismiss all that because one dream implied that she felt differently? X was rude, irrational, troublesome, cocky, temperamental, rash, the list just went on! She couldn't see why in the world she'd ever be attracted to someone like that. 'On the other hand…NO WAIT! she couldn't let her thoughts stray there! No use, her heart had a mind of it's own. He's not so bad, his build makes up for some of his other (numerous) faults. Those eyes are mystifying sometimes…NO! Snap out of it Elle, RIGHT NOW!'

Elle forced herself to stand and take a nice long shower, a COLD shower! That would set her straight. She had never given any arrogant male the time of day before and she wasn't about to start now. Elle preferred to toy with people and keep them at arm's length rather than EVER put her heart on the line, just to see it broken. No way, this JeeDangian hunk wannabe wasn't going to change that. It was safer to be alone, she'd seen too many other lives ruined by love to risk her own now.

In this frame of mind, she left her quarters in her standard, MIB suit, complete with black skirt and jacket. She headed down the hall but without thinking, found herself tossing a longing look back at the door of her partner's quarters. A throbbing in her chest began but Elle made herself forget the dream and press on.
