Waking up:

Daine woke before Numair did the next day. She smiled and got up. He wasn't going to be happy that she fell asleep while he was bedding her. Daine decided that she didn't want to wear a regular dress. She pulled on her new nightgown. It was all lace. It showed all of her body that wasn't covered by a special lion cloth and breast band. This should make up for falling asleep, she thought. She turned to the mirror and saw Numair close his eyes.

'Numair Saliman,' she scolded, 'you're awake.'

'Like I wasn't going to watch you get dressed,' he replied opening his eyes.

Diane picked up a pillow and hit him with it. Numair grabbed her and pulled her down on to the bed. He pulled her on top of him so she was straddling his lower chest. Numair gently ran his hands against her thigh. Daine gasped, she hadn't expected him to do that. Numair gently ran his hands up and down her thigh. He sat up and pulled her close.

'Would you be too upset if I undressed you again?' he whispered in her ear.

Daine, who could barley breathe, shook her head. Numair laid her down and kissed the line where he was undressing her. Daine trembled a bit. Numair chuckled and threw the blankets over his head.

Diane fell back asleep after about two hours. Numair let her rest against his chest. He put his hands behind his head and sighed. He could never live with out her. Life would be to boring. He wouldn't hear he laughter that always made him smile. He would never get to touch her soft skin intimately again. There was too much that he could lose if he lost her.

Numair swore to him self right then that he would never let her get hurt. No one would even threaten her, not if he had any say in the matter. Numair wrapped his arms around her protectively. With one hand he brushed stray hair off of her face. He pulled her close and rested his cheek against her forehead. Numair didn't know how long he just laid there. It was probably hours. But no matter what he would never let go of her. Even if it meant he would die.

Cliffy!!!!! Before you review, no, Numair doesn't die and no nothing happens to Daine. More fluff on the way!
