Chapter 38
Clarice was awakened by the gentle shake of her shoulder. She opened her eyes to find Hannibal looking at her. She smiled. Hannibal saw the change in her eyes; she had come to terms with her feelings. The moonlight played softly across her features. "What time is it?" Hannibal stroked his finger along her jaw line. "It's 8:37 PM." Clarice didn't want to move away from his touch, she lingered in his eyes, as his touch sent shivers through her body.
Time stood still, neither wanting to move away from this newfound intimacy. Hannibal's hand stopped at her lower lip. Clarice had to ask; she couldn't stand the waiting or the game anymore.
"Please kiss me Hannibal." His name was but a whisper. Hannibal lowered his head and a mere inch from the meeting of those hungry lips he whisper as well. "There is nothing that would give me greater pleasure....." He moved even closer. "At the moment." The distant between their lips closed as Hannibal's descended on hers. The firm yet soft kiss turned into a craving kiss. All that which Clarice could not say was laid in that kiss, her love for him that had waited 15 years for it's release.
When they broke for air, they looked at each other for a long moment. It was Hannibal who finally spoke. "We should get going, I have made some sandwiches for us." Clarice nodded; Hannibal extended a hand to help her out of bed.
Clarice wondered if there was time for a shower, but decided against it. Instead she dressed and sat herself at the table, her hunger from the past few days hit her full force. Hannibal hadn't thrown out her cokes, but he had made it clear that the water on the table was what he preferred for her to drink to this "dinner"
It didn't take them long to clear the room of any trace of them, and a short hour after they where on the road. Clarice still hadn't a clue as to where they where going, but she didn't care, if he thought it was important for her to know he would tell her.
A/N well my dear readers, it would seem like a good place to end this tale, but I still have a few aces up my sleeve. I would like to follow them to the end of their destination, wouldn't you.... soooo should I go on... yeah I should..
I want to thank you all for those great reviews; It's so nice of you. So do please keep telling me what you think, it gives me a reason to go on..
Ta ta for now.. more chapters soon I promise.
