Breathing
Artemis opened his eyes at the feel of a body next to him. Heat flooded his senses, warming him. The woman beside him was no ordinary woman. It was former LEP Captain Holly Short. He looked at her in fascination as her eyelashes moved with each breath she took from her full, plump lips. She was beautiful. Everything about her was. Her auburn crew-cut, her deep hazel eyes, her luscious lips, her curves. Holly was everything he needed, had.
It marvelled Artemis to no end that the woman he loved, loved him in return. The one he gave his entire soul and gave her his soul was Holly. Not Juliet. Not the girl down the road. Nor the whores of St. Bartleby's sister school. But it was Holly. And Holly was all that he needed.
The girl stirred beside him, her auburn hair sliding silkily along the pillows. Her hands rubbed her eyes lightly, pushing sleep out of the corner of her eyes. Groggily, she opened her eyes, looking at Artemis blurrily. "Artemis, what are you doing?"
Artemis snapped out of his reverie and spooned himself around Holly. "Just watching you breathe." Artemis whispered delicately into Holly's pointed ear. She seemed satisfied and slid back into sleep, her head resting against his lean, lithe and pale chest.
Yes, Artemis thought, yawning. I'm watching the only woman I love sleep. And with that, Artemis bent low, and kissed Holly's caramel-coloured neck and let sleep take him over for another hour.
A/N:I was listening to Breathing by YellowCard when I read this…tell me what you think, please…I want to be ready for the reviewers again on Okay? Love you Mie. (I mean it too.)
