Sandy

Sandy kept his eyes on his plate for the rest of the visit, only lifting his head when asked a direct question. He was so embarassed. He thought for sure that Rose didnt have feelings for him, they only just met, she probably chalked that kiss up to the heat of the moment like he had told the guys he did. Hell HE didnt understand why he felt so strongly about her already. She had noticed that he went above and beyond when he made the rose when referring to her when he 'spoke'. It was beautiful, a glowing rose with two leaves, starting as a bud and blooming to full each time he said her name, little sparkles drifting around it. His cheeks burned. If he wasnt careful, he would scare her away. He had never felt like this before. What was the human saying? ' love at first sight?' He certainly felt a pang deep in his heart when he first set eyes on her. But he didnt want to show her how he felt about her just yet. She would probably think he was just trying to fuck her. Yeah, she definately would after seeing the others' reactions to her. Damn it all if he didnt want her either. He yearned to see her writhing under him again, this time calling out his name in ectasy...

Sandy looked up from his thoughts as he suddenly realized that no one was talking anymore. He was surprised to see that the others had gone home, and Rose was busy washing the dishes. He sat for a minute and listened to her as she sang softly while she worked.

Carry my soul into the night

May the stars light my way

I glory in the sight

as darkness takes the day

Ferte noctem animam meam

Illustre stelle viam meam

Aspectu illo glorior

dumb capit nox diem

Cantate vitae canticum

Sine dolore acte

Dicite eis quos amabam

Numquam obliviscar

Sing a Song, a song of life

lived without regret

Tell the ones, the ones I loved

I will never forget

I will never forget

He closed his eyes as he listened to her hauntingly beautiful melody, nearly drifting off to sleep while sitting up at the table. He swayed in time with song until she finished, he slowly blinked his eyes open and looked at her. "That was beautiful" he said out loud, talking for the first time in ages. She jumped and dropped a dish, it shattered on the ground in front of her "Oh! Sandy! I didnt know you were still here! I didnt know you could talk!" She had her hand over her heart as if she could still it with a touch. "Yes I can, but there is rarely someone I wish to hear it" he drifted over to her, meeting her eyes and holding them with his own as he scooped up the pieces of the plate, tossing them behind him, his sand catching it and dropping it into the trash. He made himself grow to 6'4" and looked down at her, holding her hands and leaned forward, barely an inch between their lips as he said softly "May I?" When she nodded slowly he brought his lips down to meet hers in a soft kiss, brushing his lips against her for a fleeting second. He watched as her eyes fluttered shut, a soft sigh coming from her slightly parted lips. He growled quietly, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing her to him tightly, a small, breathy "Oh!" illicted from her before he caught her lips with his again, this time hungrily, his tongue swiping her full bottom lip, making her gasp. Using that small opening he slipped his tongue in and explored her mouth, reveling in the taste of her. He coaxed her into action, their tongues dancing together before she broke away for air, panting, her lids heavy and half closed, her cheeks flushed and her lips swollen from his kiss. His heart skipped a beat at the sight, pounding harder as he backed her up against the counter. Cupping her ass with his hands he lifted her onto it, tangling one hand into her hair and the other pressed against the small of her back, he buried his face in her neck, planting drugging kisses from her collar bone to her ear, nibbling on it as he moved to stand between her spread legs. He growled as her small hands tangled in his hair, gently pulling his face back to hers, this time she pressed her lips behind his ear, trailing kisses along his jaw to meet his lips in another passionate kiss. She moaned into his mouth and he thought he was going to die again. It was the sexiest sound he had ever heard. He trailed his hands to the hem of her dress, and started to inch it upwards.

"Wait! Wait wait wait..." She said breathlessly as she put her hands on top of his and he immediately stopped and took a step back, separating them. Her face dropped a little as he broke the contact and he almost stepped into her again, but refrained. "Im sorry Rose. I shouldnt have taken advantage of you like that" He dragged a hand through his hair. Rose gaped at him "Taken advantage of me?! Never!" he looked up in time to see her blush, damn she was gorgeous "I just...I have never done any of this before...and I...I think I have feelings for you beyond lust..." She looked up at him from under her lashes. "I dont want to jump into things. I am sorry." He realized that she didnt want him to be mad at her and pulled her into a hug "Rose, honey, I understand, we will go as slow as you want. We have all the time in the world! I must admit, I have feelings for you too..." She laid her head on his chest. "Really?" She asked softly "Really." he replied, kissing the top of her wild hair gently. She closed her eyes and relaxed against him, her tiredness setting in. Sandy, being the Sandman felt this and lifted her up bridal style easily, carrying her up to her room and laying her in bed, tucking her in before flying out the balcony doors to his castle.

Rose woke up snuggled into her blankets. As she laid there she sighed happily, going over the last two days with a giddy feeling in her stomach. She couldnt believe it. So much had happened! She was buzzing with excitement. She quickly did her job and returned home, showering and putting on a light blue, floor length flowy, spaghetti strap dress, the rounded neckline showing the swells of her breasts. She loved this one because when she twirled, it spun around her. She loved dancing in this dress. She left her feet bare, as she preferred them, and left her hair down. She put on her pendant and then she was out the door, grabbing a cup of green tea and a canteen of egg nog on her way. She spread her wings the moment she stepped outside and shot off towards Sandy's island.

On the island Sandy had just come home from his dream rounds. He had been behind from showing Rose around, and collasped into bed, knowing he had few precious hours before his next shift. Before his head touched the pillow, he was out. Rose landed just off Sandy's porch, leaping up the stair she went to knock on the door when it opened wide for her. She thanked the sand and walked in, calling Sandy's name softly. When there was no answer, she went from room to room before finally finding him asleep in his bedroom. She closed the door and quietly asked the sand what time he had gotten in. When it told her that he got in only moments ago, she fretted and inquired if it was because he hadnt had time for dream casting due to her. After the sand confirmed her fears, she wondered to herself if she could do his job for the night. The sand immediately formed a small cloud, and motioned for her to get on. She did so and, leaving the egg nog and a note on the kitchen table, she let the cloud take her wherever it needed.

Sandy woke up feeling like he had slept for a year. He was refreshed and his first thoughts were of seeing Rose. He jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen, intent on swallowing some eggs real quick when he saw the canteen and the note.

Dear Sandy,

I stopped by to give you some egg nog (in the canteen to the right) and spend some time with you, but you were passed out in bed. You shouldnt neglect yourself or let yourself fall behind because of me (the sand ratted you out). Your sand assures me that I can help you with your dream casting, so I am riding a dream cloud and will be back later. Get some sleep.

Rose

PS. We left at 6:30am. Not sure when the cloud will bring us back, Im just letting it take me where it feels the need to go.

Sandy was shocked, it was nightime outside! That meant that she had done her job as well as cast dreams on the otherside of the world before that. She was probably still casting dreams now, she wouldnt know that dream sand didnt stop unless there was no one asleep in the world! He would have to tell his sand not to let her do this again, no matter how much it liked her, it was still his job! Not hers! He hopped on a sand jet and sped toward where he felt the sand was. He flew till he was over Paris, finally spotting the golden dot sitting on top of the Effiel tower, blending in with the lights. Multiple streams flowed from it and he let his jet slam into it, becoming one with the cloud as he jumped and landed on it. He had just stood up straight as something hard plowed into him, knocking him over with a splash of sand. Automatically his arms wrapped around it and his brown eyes met deep blue as smiling lips yelled "Sandy!" He grinned, all semblance of anger or worry gone as he drank in the sight of her face. Her wild hair fell in a thick curtain around them, cutting them off from the world as she pressed her lips to his. He felt her knees slide down on either side of his waist and he blushed when he realized she was straddling him. He tried to think of anything else but he felt his cock harden and brush against her inner thigh. She gasped and jumped a little, her breasts pressing into his chest and he groaned. He gently rolled them over, her legs wrapped around his waist and his hardness pressed against her womanhood. He pushed up onto his hands and let his eyes roam over her flushed face, to the bare twin swells of her breasts, the hardness of her nipples straining against the soft blue cotton of her dress, down to where that dress had ridden up to mid thigh, barely covering her intimate area. He groaned with the difficulty as he restrained from thrusting and grinding into her, rolling off and laying beside her instead. She giggled and lay her head on his chest, her fingers tracing little hearts on it. "Hey Sandy, I assume you got my letter?" He nodded, still trying to calm himself down "Good, I think I did an okay job, your sand seems happy. I really kind of let it do its own thing. Did you get some sleep?" She looked down at him with concern, scanning his face for any signs of exhaustion. He smiled at her and hugged her to him "Your concern for me is so sweet, Rose. I am good, I havent slept that long in a millenia." She giggled and touched the tip of his nose. "Good!" She moved to kiss him again and he touched a finger to her lips to stop her. "But, you dont need to take over my job Rose, it is my job to do and you dont need to be saddled with anything else." She frowned and rolled off of him, standing up. "I didnt mean to upset you Sandy, no one can do this better than you can and i certainly wasnt trying to steal your job! I was just trying to help." He stood with her and touched her arm "No no no I didnt mean that Rose Im sorry. I meant that your job already takes so much out of you, it must have ben really hard to do your job and mine..." He looked at her pleadingly. She gave him a small smile and his heart popped back to his chest instead of down in his butt. "I am very tired" She admitted softly. He pulled her close and took off towards her place. She must have sensed where they were going because she looked up at him with half closed eyes and asked in a quiet voice "May I stay at your house tonight? I dont really want to be alone" He nodded, feeling his heart clench, thinking, oh this woman is going to be the death of me.
