While You're Sleeping

She was propped up on her elbow as she stared down at his sleeping face. She bit her lip briefly, released it, and then blew her breath out slowly. He elicted so many feelings in her. Too many to realize and analyze individually. It scared her. She swallowed and shook her head as if it would shake her thoughts as well.

She reached out with her free hand and brushed his bangs out of his closed eyes. He was so peaceful when he was asleep. She licked lips and let her index finger drag down his smooth cheek. Everything about him was so perfect.

She sighed. "I love you," she whispered. "I may not be able to tell you when you're awake, but someday I will. Someday, when I'm not so terribly afraid, I'll tell you. But right now, I can almost see that smug smile on your lips. So for now, I'll just tell you while you're sleeping." She took a deep breath, loving the way he smelled so familiar and masculine. "I love you."

She pulled her hand away and let her body sink into the bed once again and pressed herself against him. She pulled his arm around her, the way it had been when she first woke up. She buried her face in his chest even as her own chest constricted with the confession she'd just made.

As she closed her eyes, she didn't notice the way his arms tightened around her and his eyes slowly drifted open, that smug smile playing on his lips.
