As Lily sat with Dave's hand over hers, she couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever remember the part of her life that apparently belonged to the voice in her head. She gave Dave a smile. "Sometimes, when you are not being so harsh…you almost seem angelic." She grinned at him. "If you are finished I can get to these dishes and start cleaning up. Then perhaps you could help me back up to my bed? My legs are still a little shaky." She picked up each of their plates and brought them to the small sink. She realized she hadn't planned ahead and heated any water. She looked around the room. "Dave? Could I get you to bring me some water that I can heat over the fire to clean with? In my excitement to cook, I guess I did not think past that."
"Of course, but if you are feeling weak, we could worry about these things until morning. Let me bring you back upstairs to rest. These will still be around in the morning, and if you are feeling better I will bring you to the nearby village. We can look for those seeds for our garden." He watches as she yawns. "Yes. Please let me take you up to rest. It was a wonderful meal you prepared and now you should sleep." Dave didn't give Lily a chance to answer. He walked around the counter and lifted her with ease into his arms. She settled into his arms as he carried her up the winding stairs to the bedroom she had been recovering in. Gently laying her on the bed and settling beside her. He turned into her back, inhaling the scent of her hair as he ran his hands through it. "Close your eyes, Lily. I will stay and make sure you are not disturbed."
In truth, Lily was feeling tired from the activity of fixing that meal. She had started to become accustom to being in Dave's strong, muscular arms. Now lying on the bed with him curled behind her, she allowed her eyes to close. She was only slightly aware of him playing with her hair. In her sleeping state, Lily found herself in a beautiful place. It was lush, green and there were plants in bloom. She looked around and felt like she had been there before. She started to walk down a familiar pathway. As she continued on, she found a second version of herself sitting in a clearing. Next to the duplicate self, was Dave. He was sprawled out next to her in the grass, stroking her hair. She suddenly realized she remembered this moment. She didn't know how but she knew that it had occurred in a small clearing after they had stormed a village together. Lily murmured the words Dave was going to utter to the second her at any moment. "Your hair smells of wood smoke and destruction. I love how it smells mixed with your scent." Sure enough, he opened his mouth and uttered the same words. Could it be that she was starting to remember the life that he spoke of? She continued to watch the two of them in the field. Dave left her only once, to forage for food. He prepared the meat from the village over a fire and fed it to Lilith, following some bites with smoldering kisses. "If I had not already come from Hell, my love, I would swear that's where I would end up for loving you." The voice so familiar, the one from inside her head spoke to him. The comment made Dave laugh and his deep, rumbling laughter filled the clearing. It made Lily smile to hear it; she had not had the chance to hear him laugh before this dream. He seemed happy with her, clearly Dave was deeply in love with Lilith. Lily woke up and rolled over to see Dave sleeping next to her. For the first time since her arrival, he looked so at peace. The complete opposite of the angry, forceful man she had seen earlier. Leaning closer she let her lips brush against his. The kiss woke him. At first he stayed still, he did not want to scare her. More than that, he did not want her to stop. He waited until he could not stand it any longer, grabbing her head and kissing her back with all the passion he could conjure from his soul. Dave had no idea what had caused the sudden change but he loved it. The initial shock of him pulling deeper into the kiss was over with quickly. She matched his passion with her own, kissing him deeper. He pulled Lily over on top of him. Straddling him, she continued their kiss. Grabbing her ass and making her rock her hips against his. She moaned into his kiss, feeling him respond to the rocking of her body. "Lily…if you do not want to go any further…I will not force you to. I do want you though…so badly!" Lily stared into his eyes for a minute, trying to decide what to do.
