He awoke with a jolt; his heart raced as his eyes jutted around the room. With quick deep breaths he sat up in the bed and slowly rubbed his temples trying to calm himself. It was the same dream he had a million times before, and his eyes opened and closed as he tried to remind himself that it was a dream.

The body next to his shifted and an instant calm was sent over him. He turned to look over at her, sleeping soundly with an almost smile on her face. In that moment, he forgot his dream, his body warmed and he shrunk into the bed, allowing his head to rest on his palm. His eyes gazed over her face and he smiled. Her big curls covered her cheeks and danced with every breath she took. His smile widened as he thought about her lips, the lips he had kissed so many times before, each time with an intensity he couldn't explain.

She had opened something in him and each moment he spent with her made that fire grow deeper. Her bottom lip quivered and he lifted his hand to move the hair off her face. The feel of her skin against his fingertips sent flutters through his stomach, the fire inside him roared and he let out a small chuckle.

This woman, so intense, with so much feeling made him feel like an enraged hormonal teen again and he loved it; he loved her. His eyes shifted as he watched her chest move up and down with each breath. The quiet was surprisingly enjoyable, he loved being able to hear each breath.

He gently moved his finger up and down her purple tee. He could wake her, if he wanted to. She would moan and whine about it, but they would end up right where he wanted them. He wanted so much for that tee to be on the floor, for his mouth to envelope hers, for her lean body to grace his. She moved again, turning her back to him. A half smile spread across his face as he lay next to her, wrapping his arm around her waist. Her hand moved over his and their fingers intertwined. This was all he wanted.
