Blizzards:

(Numair's POV)

Daine must still be running around outside, I thought to myself as I looked at the clock. I looked out the window and stood up so fast that the chair fell back wards. It was a blizzard! I ran to the door praying that she wasn't still outside. Please be inside, I thought, please.

Just as I was getting to my workroom door it opened. There stood a shivering Daine. Her clothes and hair were soaked. Up until her knees, her body was caked ion snow and ice; which was beginning to melt. I pulled her into the room and threw more wood on the fire. I was about ready to die. She had defiantly been out in the blizzard.

'You're freezing.' I said. Daine just snuggled closer to my body. I knew the quickest way to get someone warm was through body heat. Ant taking off snow dredged clothes.

I pulled off her clothes as fast as I could only to find that she was shivering harder than I had thought. I wrapped her in a fleece blanket and pulled off my own clothes. I pulled her as close to me as I could, but she still found a way to get even closer to me. I smiled and kissed her hair as I lay down on the hearthrug with her snuggled contentedly next to me. I watched the fire and rubbed her back to get her warm.

'Mmm' Daine murmured

'Convertible?' I asked

'Mm hm' she was barely making any noise at all.

'Warm yet?' I asked letting her know I was concerned.

'A little.' She whispered against my chest.

It was really hard not to roll her over and kiss every visible part of her body. She was so beautiful. Her eyes, sift skin and hair. He had always been surprised that no other man had tried to bed her yet. He knew one of her earlier swans, Perlin, had had thoughts of doing it. To my knowledge he didn't try though. He knew they had been torn apart by something, and I think that was it.

Just then I was cut off from my thoughts by a gentle movement against my neck. I knew it automatically as Daine's lips. I looked down at the young women making her breathing slow dramatically. I loved the way I could do that. She was still shy when I bedded her. I could feel her try to stop trembling when I touched her. Sometimes I just wanted to tell her that I liked the feel.

I looked down at her. She was trying to find a way to turn me on. I smiled gently and rolled her over. I leaned down against her ear.

'If you're not warm yet I can find another way to do it.' As I whispered this I slid my hand down her soft skin. She was so beautiful. I just wanted to stay right there forever.

'Numair.' She gasped. I could feel her fighting back trembles.

'No.' I whispered. 'I love it when you tremble in my arms.'

Daine let out a small whimper. I realized that there was no other feeling like this. She was trembling and I could feel her heart skip a beat. She wanted me to be happy so she would let me do what ever I want. Her semi-shaking hands ran over my muscles. I brushed back some of her stray curls. When I touched her skin I realized that she wasn't just trembling she was shivering as well.

'No.' I whispered. 'You're still cold.'

'I thought you were going to keep me warm.' She said. There was still innocence there that was there when she was thirteen. She was never going to lose it, I realized. Good, a part of my mind said.

'I will.' I said rolling back on to my back. 'Later.'

'I'll make it up to you.' She was trying to sound like she could do what ever I wanted.

'When you're ready for it.' I whispered. 'Go to sleep, magelet.' I couldn't help but finger around her bare chest. She was so perfect.

Daine laid back down with her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her. Daine was asleep within the second that her head rested on me. I looked down on the girl that I had loved for years. Some how, no matter how often I saw her like this, I was never going to get enough of her.

I believe she's right, I laughed mentally, I do think to much.
