4. The Dark Day
Chapter Summary: Darkness in the light of the day...
They spend the night making love, reaching out for each other, again and again.
Slow then fast then slower again; they vary speed, places and positions.
Dawn brings sleep, but not separation.
Even in sleep, their arms are entwined. They don't want to let go, not just yet.
They want to stay joined. They want to stay together.
And they will. Forever.
Only they don't know that. Yet

"Mmmm…" she wakes up to find his head nuzzled between her breasts, his hot breath caressing one chocolate nipple.
"Don't," he growls at her attempt to break from his grasp. "Not yet. Stay like this, for a little more while."
"Ok," she answers. She does not want to let go either.
Wrapping her arms around his muscular shoulders, she wriggles a bit to find a comfortable position.
Soon both of them are lost in a deep dreamless sleep.
A rare achievement for both of them.

"What are you doing?" he smiles at her question.
"Looking at ya. Smelling ya," she frowns at his answer.
"Do I smell bad?" she lifts her arm to smell it.
"Na," he shakes his head, capturing her arm. "Smell good…..like fresh rain."
----
"What happened?" he growls at her sudden stiffening. Her smell also changes. Grows tense.
"Nothing," he senses her lie.
"Did I say somethin' wrong?" He surprises himself with his words. He is apologizing to her. He never apologizes to anyone, for anything. Ever.
"I don't want to discuss it," she is withdrawing from him and he doesn't like that. Yet he says nothing.
He knows his comment angered her. He can smell it on it. He just doesn't know why.
And there is something else underneath the anger…a feeling of sadness.
He doesn't like her being angry with him. And he definitely doesn't like her being sad. At all.
He says nothing, neither does she.
They break away from their embrace.
-----
The dawning day ends the light of the night…
…the day brings darkness.
