Will snored softly behind her as Djaq stared into the fire.
She had almost told him that she loved him. She couldn't believe she had just almost opened her mouth and told him that she loved him.
That would have made things ten times more complicated then they already where.
What if he didn't love her? What if he did? Love was just a whole lot of trouble.
But even as she thought this, she found her hand was entwined with his around her waist, and she felt safe with him beside her.
Safer than she had ever felt before in her life.
"Djaq, you still awake?"
"Yeah."
"I need to tell you something."
Djaq turned to face him, and as soon as she did, knew what he was going to say.
"I..." He was cut off as she put a finger to his lips.
"Shh."
She replaced the finger with her lips.
The kiss lasted for some time, the two completely wrapped up in each other and their own little world. Will's hands gripped her hips and pulled her tightly to him.
Djaq slid her hands under his shirt and let her fingers drift over his abs and up to his chest.
If this was heaven, she was switching religions. Will's hands slid under shirt, running over her curves, as he broke their kiss and planted kisses down her neck to her collarbone to where the V of her shirt ended.
He pushed up her shirt to just under chest and kissed her stomach, gently biting at the soft skin. Djaq gasped softly, then grabbed his hand and pulled him up so she could kiss him again.
He pulled back, "Djaq, I have to…"
"Don't…not yet." Djaq pushed him down and then lay with her head on his chest. "There will be time enough for these things some day."
Will nodded.
But after Djaq began to snore and he knew she was asleep, he whispered "I love you" into her ear anyway.
