Chapter 19: Passions Revealed

My eyes slowly opened to the sound of light breathing against my ear. I turned my head and smiled as Dreama came into view. It wasn't a dream. I thought with glee. I turned on my side and pulled her close, placing a kiss on her brow as I do. I tried going back to sleep but I couldn't find myself to look away from her sleeping form; she then made a small whimper. I thought maybe she was having an unpleasant dream and was about to wake her when she suddenly made a moaning sound then said my name. By the look on her face I say she was dreaming about last night. Interested in the faces she was making I just watched her, how her expression went to surprise then pleasure. She would bite her bottom lip occasionally then move her hands all over her body. Alright she was either dreaming of last night or dreaming of what we could have done last night. She was enjoying the pleasant feeling and I was here doing nothing, that's it!

I placed my hands on hers then began to kiss her neck, suckling it and kissing it. It wasn't until she moaned my name causing me to bite her, she winced then her beautiful eyes found mine. She looked at me then smiled.

"Having pleasant dreams I see," was all I said. She smiled even more, then placed her hands on my face and pulled me to her lips. Our kiss was sensational, like always. My kisses traveled to her neck again, she moaned then stopped me, and I looked at her puzzled.

"What's Don Juan Triumphant?" my insides froze, did I hear correctly? How could she possibly know? I was careful enough to make sure no one knew about that…unless…Jonnie!

Sensing my tenseness she suddenly laughed. I looked at her puzzled again.

"You were talking in your sleep," oh God, what else did she hear? I thought of a lie I could give her…you just made love to her and yet you still lie? Don't you trust her like she trusts you? Indeed I can't lie to her.

"It's an opera I wrote," I replied carefully. She popped up all the sudden cheerful.

"Oh please play me it! I would love to hear it!" Damn! That's what I get.

"I'm a bit tired, maybe I can show you some other time…" I was getting up when she grabbed my arm; I looked at her and was suddenly lost in her eyes.

"Please?" she asked soft, If it was that easy Dreama…

I glanced at the piano and suddenly had an idea.

"Maybe we can both play it," she frowned.

I stood and took her hand in mine, and together after placing our clothes back on we went to the piano. We sat down on the bench together and I said.

"I'll teach, you'll play, then afterwards, I'll sing for you," Dreama nodded then began stretching getting ready for my lesson.

It was true, was going to teach her Don Juan Triumphant, music that I never wish to hear again. But she was here with me, which was enough for me.

I have heard Dreama was a fast learner, if she memorized my work then later I will have her play it while I sing, oh but I will do more then sing to her.

The Tamber's were setting up breakfast, placing plates where they need to be and so on. Thelma awoke not to long ago only to find that neither Erik nor Dreama were here.

"Thelma?" called her mother Dolly. Thelma turned to her. "Do you know where Erik is? I went to wake him up but he wasn't in his room," she asked.

"I don't have a single clue, where is Dreama?"

"Oh she's probably in the barn; you know how she likes to stay there the whole day sometimes,"

"Yes – I do,"

Dean walked in carrying information.

"Darling I think Erik is with Dreama at the barn," Thelma's heart began to beat fast.

"How do you know?" asked Thelma a bit startled. Dean frowned at her.

"Well I heard music last night and it didn't sound like Dreama's work, I'll go and check to see if their there…"

"No! -" blurted Thelma causing both her parents to look at her baffled. "No it's alright I'll go, you stay here and help mother,"

"Are you sure?"

But Thelma was already gone. Thelma knew something was happening and she was going to find out.

Thelma neared the barn and heard a piano and singing, what were they doing? Thelma's heart began to race. First time in her life she was in love, she was in love with Erik.

I taught Dreama how to play and she learned faster then I thought she could. Now we were ready, I stood and walked in front of the instrument and nodded for her to begin.

The music floated throughout the room as I began to sing.

Passarino, go away for the trap

Is set and waits for it's pray

Dreama looked at me already entranced with my voice.

You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge

In pursuit of that wish which till now ahs been silent

Silent…

I have brought you that our passions may fuse and merge

In your mind you've already succumbed to me

Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me

Now you are here with me

No second thoughts

You've decided

Decided…

Dreama played my music with excellence and soon the real passion between us will begin.

I slowly began to make my way to Dreama.

Past the point of no return

No backward glances

Our games of make believe are at an end!

Past all thought of if or when

No use resisting

Abandon thoughts and let the dream descend

Now behind her I wrapped my arms around her making her shiver and almost miss a note in her playing.

What raging fire shall flood the soul?

What rich desire unlocks its door?

What sweet seduction lies before us?

I sat next to her and caressed her neck, I could tell she tried hard not to wrap her arms around me and place her lips on mine.

Past the point of no return

The final threshold

What warm unspoken secrets will we learn?

Beyond the point of no return

Dreama without warning turned to me and pulled me close into a passionate kiss. My hands traveled all over her body, her thighs, her waist, her breast, her neck, her face. It was a perfect moment when I suddenly heard a faint gasp.

Dreama heard it to since we both broke the kiss to see who the intruder was. Dreama gasped and turned away while my heart stopped as I stared at Thelma's shocked face.
