What if?

Disclaimer I don't own anything of Tamora Pierce. Though I wish I could. Daine/Numair pairing

These are short stories of Diane and Numair and what could have happened during the books and what if they did happen. Every chapter starts of with a what if.

What if.. They realised their love earlier

The mild mage smiled in her sleep as her sub-conscious took over her dream letting suppressed feelings race threw her young body, easing the longing and desire. "Numair" a soft whisper escaped her lips.

Her legs bunched together her body aching for some contact. Her lips parted and colour flushed her cheeks.

He was teasing her, making her beg and squirm underneath him. Making her feel his excitement for her and then drawing away all too quickly. She, reaching out to him, wanting to feel skin on skin. And then he succumbed and flesh hit on flesh. Chest to chest, body to body. Need and unimaginable desire ripping threw them. Making them rip at each other, hands and nails and teeth biting, scratching and gripping each other.

Diane woke with a gasp, her eyes wild and her companions wide awake. Kit her 'adopted' dragon whistled deeply making sure that Diane was alright.

"Yeah, I'm fine Kit. Just had another mind blowing dream," Diane assured the dragon and the pets that were once again settling down back on her bed.

Diane could feel the throbbing mass her dream left her in and let out a long sigh. She quietly got out of bed so not to disturb the creatures once again dozing off and slipped inside her teacher's room.

She stood quietly looking at his face and he slept on peacefully. Suddenly a gentle push pushed her onto Numair in his waiting arms. His eyes twinkling merrily. Diane hit him.

"You were awake the whole time?"

Numair grinned and tugged at one of Diane's curls. "Only when it comes to you, my sweet,"

Diane sighed and shifted to be more comfortable leaning on his shoulder. This is where she belonged and this is where she will stay for the rest of her life.

Court be damned, let the people talk. Nothing could tear apart two lovers so intent in just loving each other.
