Eames opened her arms wide, waiting as she did every night for Goren to carry her to bed.
It was a ritual!
A ritual she liked.
Even if it didn't last long.
Goren's arms were so nice...
If she dared...
She would ask him to sleep with him, so she could enjoy the security of his arms.
It felt so good.
But she would never dare.
Besides, what would Goren think of such a request...
Goren approached Eames, and gently lifted her into his arms.
Since the discussion they had had about the accident, Alex had mellowed a bit, or at least the evening.
She no longer made a fuss about going to bed, and she was the one who asked to be put to bed.
But during the day it didn't really change, she was still a pain in the ass.
Alex put her fingers on the buttons of her shirt, playing with them.
- Bobby...
Alex had the voice of a little girl at that moment.
She wanted to ask him something...
But she didn't dare.
She was afraid he would refuse.
Arrived at the height of the bed, he deposited her gently on the sheets, moving away.
Eames posed the hand on his wrist, holding it.
- What that...
Eames did not dare to look at him.
His cheeks were pink.
Goren smiled, tenderized.
- Tell me...
Goren spoke softly, looking at her with his brown, shining eyes.
- Can you... She stopped, not daring to continue. Goren nodded, encouraging her to continue. Sleep with me.
Sleep with me...
Had he heard the words Alex had just spoken.
She couldn't have asked such a thing...
And yet...
She didn't dare look at him, all blushing.
- I feel safe in your arms.
At her words, Bobby blushed violently, his heart beating wildly in his chest.
How to tell him...
Make him understand...
Explain to him that he couldn't.
Since the night he had fallen on her little breasts, he had felt something violent for Eames.
Sleeping with her, would be too dangerous for her.
And a torture for him.
Her big hazel eyes, looked at him, begging.
Goren didn't have the heart to refuse her.
- Very well...
At his words, a big smile appeared on Eames' face.
A smile that made him melt.
Goren slowly lay down next to Alex.
With gentleness, he wrapped his arms around her waist, and drew her in, holding her close.
- Thank you.
Alex rested her head and hands against Bobby's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Melodious sound in his ears.
- Bobby... He brought his gaze to Alex's face. Can I have a kiss?
A kiss...
He blushed violently, his blood boiling throughout his body.
He shouldn't...
Couldn't do that.
And yet...
He wanted to please her.
To fulfill her every wish.
She was so cute, so sweet at that moment.
How to say no to her...
- It's okay. But just one.
Alex nodded.
Damn it...
He really had to stop giving everything to her.
Eames was doing what she wanted with him.
And if it went on like this, it would end badly.
With softness, he brought his lips closer to her forehead, and kissed it.
Alex shivered.
It was so soft, so pleasant.
She should have asked him earlier.
But she had never dared.
She hadn't had the courage.
And tonight, she had decided...
Even if she had to refuse.
Alex did not regret having forgotten her fear, and to have asked what she wanted.
Alex leaned against him.
- Good night... Bobby.
Goren rested his chin on her little blonde head, holding her close.
- Good night my little Alex...
He could already hear Eames' short breath.
He smiled, tenderized.
