REBA'S P.O.V.

Reba lay in bed next to her husband Narvel, gently stroking his cheek, careful not to wake him. God, he was gorgeous when he was asleep. Actually, he was gorgeous all of the time. But only when he was asleep could she really study him without him getting embarrassed or flushed. He was so incredibly shy! Reba traced her finger down the curves of his face, smiling to herself and placing a gentle kiss on his forehead. She thought back to a time several years before when another man had lay as her husband, in her bed. But Charlie was no Narvel. Narvel had a way of truly, deeply understanding her, comprehending her thoughts and feelings on both an emotional and physical level.

Take tonight for example. After calling their nanny to stay with their small son, Shelby, he surprised her by taking her out on a date, to a small little diner they liked to frequent. Afterwards, they had come home and had made sweet tender love until they collapsed exhausted into the pillows. She loved the feel of his lips on her skin, his hands kneading her soft flesh, touching her, kissing her in all those secret special areas only he knew. He was a superb lover, she thought, grinning to herself. Just thinking of the hard sculpted planes of his body had her shivering with imminent desire. They had been so lost in their mutual lust, love, and passion that they had even forgotten a condom that night! That never happened. She was generally on the pill, but they were working this weekend and she had forgotten the bottle at home. Not that it really mattered much, after Shelby they had been told by the doctor it was highly unlikely she'd ever be able to become pregnant again. She had gone to several specialists, but they all said the same thing, had the same answers. Shelby was her little miracle baby. Their angel.

Rolling over in bed, she once again gazed happily at Narvel, pulling him close. Whispering in his ear, she murmured "I love you". Content, and secure in their love, Reba finally drifted off into a light sleep, cradled in her husband's arms.
