Twelve Touches
He loves his wife. He would not have done half the things he has if not to provide for her, to protect her. She is beautiful, and each day he wonders how it is that chance had looked down so favorably on him.
And then the plane crash happened, and it seemed as if his protection was weaker here. So he watched her sleep, slept only in small amounts so he knew she would be safe.
Sun sleeps now, and she is more beautiful in her sleep than any woman he has ever known. When they were first married, he would watch her sleep just as he does now. Watch how her body rose and fell with each breath. Watch how she would greet him into their bed, her creamy arms spread wide to envelope him, her dark hair slinking over her shoulders as she bowed and bent her body forward eagerly to meet his thrusts. The feel of her flawless skin pressed to his sun darkened skin.
He watched her here on the island as well. Amid the incoherant English words that were spoken, his eyes would always be on her. The way she brushed at her shirt or face, at her hands as she cut open the fruit they had found. And he would remember those first days of their marriage, when they took such care with each other. Before the world crashed in on them.
