"Yukari…" a husky voice whispered. She didn't want to open her eyes, it was still too early in the morning and she wanted to sleep before heading to work. She suddenly was aware of the lips brushing against her neck, trailing light kisses slowly down her back. "Yukari, you look so beautiful when you sleep" the voice whispered seductively in her ear. His hands traced her curves lightly, radiating in warmth.
"Mmm Hiro… I have a big show today, I wanted to sleep in" She whined, biting her lip and drawing her arms in close in an attempt to fight off her newly lit desire.
"If you really wanted to sleep you wouldn't have worn that to bed" he purred into her neck wrapping his arms around her drawing her close. Yukari giggled, she was wearing an old baggy t-shirt and a pair of boy shorts underwear.
"Yeah, because all men find this look to be soooo sexy" her voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Hm I guess it must be a trick you played then because no matter what you wear I find you to be the most irresistible creature on earth" The deadly combo of romantic words and hot breath resonating in her ear was becoming too much to bear. She wiggled her body even closer to his, noticing the hard shaft against her lower back.
"Sometimes, I wonder why I married you, all this romanticism is such a turn off" she teased, rubbing her lower body against his.
"I guess I'll just have to remind you" he said, rolling her towards him.
She woke up with tears in her eyes. Another dream... Her heart ached, and she couldn't bear to relive yet another memory. It was torture. How she missed making love to Hiro. She could almost still feel his delicate touch, his warm embrace. She wanted so badly to sob aloud but she knew how much stress she was putting on Miwako and Arashi. She remembered how for the first few nights Miwako had sat with her, holding her gently as she cried for Hiro. She couldn't continue to be so selfish; she knew the two of them were bottling up their own grief for her sake, so she was trying her best to return the favor. She was eating again, even going out and helping with the shopping. She couldn't bring herself to smile yet but still she was functioning again. It was only at night, when the dreams came to her that the pain was almost too absolute to ignore. She cried into her pillow, muffling her painful cries; until sleep claimed her again.
