Living A Dream

Inspired by Beyoncé "R.E.M (wake up)"

2 A.M.

Diana Kent woke up, warm and so relaxed. She peeks her eyes open and sees her husband's face close to hers, slack and calm but even asleep he looks happy. It fills her heart in a way that she wasn't expecting, years ago, to know that she was his happiness and he was her happiness. Within, combining their happiness, they created a beautiful and precious little embodiment of all that they feel for each other.

Sighing happily, her arm draped over his chest, her long sexy leg flung over his own. She can't help but rub up and down, just a little, relishing in the feel of his body against hers. A huge smile overcomes her and even though he's asleep she buries her face in the pillow, surprised at the strength of her own emotions.

"Feels like a dream," Diana muttered silently.

Dreams...The experience of dreams can sometimes only exist within the moment. They feel so incredibly real, yet when we wake up to the roar of life, or the dream of life we are in, we realize that it was all just a figment of imagination, or just an illusion.

However, he is still right here with her as she is fully awake.

Diana reached up and gently caressed his cheek, relishing the feel of stubble beneath her hand. This is real. This is her reality. Her dreams from the moment they met had became her reality.

When they first met in Metropolis with the rest of the Justice League, they were in the middle of a battle with Darkseid. Kal smirked only saying two words and she only saying two words back but there was something about his blue eyes. His eyes saying so much more. She loved how they expressed his emotions. Those sexy ocean blue orbs that make her melt every time they lock on her. Every time. He was a man of confidence and determination with the power that can rival the mighty Zeus. He was not a God nor mortal and he lead with his heart being so kind and gentle. Diana couldn't help but want to be closer.

Which soon happened between them having not only this instant attraction but a natural gravitation toward each other. Building such a unique bond of understanding, trust, honesty, and friendship, hoping deep down within their hearts and soul it would one day evolve into something more. They challenged each other and opened up to one another more than they ever could with anyone knew every aspect of each other. Over time, no matter what they went through, no matter how much some things became complicated, they stood together as one.

Diana watches him take breaths, his big chest lifting up and down. His lips slightly parted. She can't help but run her finger along them. They are soft yet can knock Diana off her feet when they meet hers.

She ran her fingers along his face again, along his chiseled cheek bones. Her fingers continue to map out his face. She then stopped at his chin and press two of her fingers to his bottom lip. A small smile comes to his face. He knows she is touching him. She leaves her fingers on his lips as his smile gets bigger.

Diana can't help but touch him. She touches him not like she thinks he will disappear because she knows he won't. She just wants to touch him, feel him at every moment she can. She caressed her lover's forehead, twiddling with his famous S-curl gently around her fingertips. She leaned over and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, then kissed him lightly on the lips.

She smiled and eased out of bed, grabbing her robe to put on as she left out of their room to go down the hall to their daughter's room.

Quietly and slowly opening the door, Diana smiled wider peeking in to see Astrea sitting up stretching.

"I had a feeling you were waking up, my little love."

Hearing her mother's voice, Astrea turned to Diana with a wide grin. "Mama!"

Diana went over to the toddler bed and sat down on the edge. Astrea crawled into Diana's lap hugging her.

"My sweet, sweet baby," Diana whispered hugging her and running her fingers gently through her soft hair.

"Mama, I get ice ceam!"

Diana giggled. "I'm sorry, little love, not this time. Mommy can't have you picking up that kind of habit of mine."

Astrea gave her the cutest, saddest face.

"Oh no...no. No falling for that one either. How about I make you some hot chocolate with some whipped cream?"

Astrea instantly lit up giggling. "Coco and ceam!"

Diana laughed with her and kissed her all over her little face. "Come on, little one."

Carrying Astrea, Diana floated down stairs to the kitchen. When she sat her down on the counter, Astrea started singing, clapping and dancing happily.

"Coco! Coco! Coco!"

Diana couldn't stop smiling and her heart kept fluttering listening to her daughter. It was still so surreal to her having a little one of her own. Hearing such a precious, sweet little voice call her mama.

To be able to hold her, kiss her, cradle her, laugh with her, sing to and with her, read her books or tell stories of her and Kal's adventures and so much more. To have a night like this making hot chocolate, this is what Diana cherished and was truly grateful for.

"Here you go, little Love."

"Coco and ceam!"

Taking one sip, she didn't stop.

Diana laughed. "Slow down, Love." She shook her head. "Just like your father."

When she was done, Astrea grinned. Diana laughed seeing the little whipped cream mustache on Astrea.

"You're quite a character! I love you so much!" Diana kissed her cheek before getting a napkin to wipe her lip.

"What are my girls doing at this late hour?"

"Dada!" Astrea flew to Kal hugging him.

"Hey, Princess!" He hugged her back. "You should be sleeping, you know?" He poked her stomach making her giggle.

"She woke up wanting ice cream," Diana said.

"Ice cream?" Kal questioned then smiled. "Just like your mother." He sat her back down on the counter. "Made hot chocolate instead?"

Diana reached out, gently cupping her husband's face before pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.

"Yes. Did you want a cup, Love?"

"Nope, I'll have something much better when Princess goes back to sleep."

Diana tilted her head confused then seeing his sly grin, she smirked.

"Let me tell you something, Princess. Your mother used to wake up like this, too, at times, in the middle of the night getting ice cream. She went through four gallons within a week when she was pregnant with you."

Diana gasped. "No, I did not! It was pints!"

"Diana..."

"Kal-El..."

Kal quirked his brow and folded his arms. "I clearly remember that because while I went to the store you were watching a marathon of sappy overdramatic movies you have never been interested in. You cried at the end of each movie."

Diana bit her lip and rolled her eyes. She then let out a dramatic sigh. "You weren't suppose to bring that up again."

Kal laughed and grabbed her by her waist pulling her close and kissed the tip of her nose.

"I actually found it adorable."

"But our daughter doesn't need to pick up that habit."

"It's fine, Di. She eats more than enough fruits and vegetables to balance it all out." Kal picked up Astrea, lifting her up in the air. "Isn't that right, Princess?"

"Fuits..." Astrea yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Kal smiled and bringing her back down, he held her close rubbing her back gently as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Somebody's ready to go back to bed."

Kal and Diana flew back upstairs to Astrea's room. Kal gently laid her down, gave her one of her stuffed toys and covered her with her blanket. Kal kissed her cheek.

"Love you, Princess," he whispered.

Diana smiled as once again her heart fluttered. The love in Kal's eyes for Astrea was so powerful. From the moment he first laid eyes upon her, it was clear that Astrea had her dear father wrapped around her little finger. When she cried at night, he would tell Diana to go back to sleep for him to be the one to tend her. When she wanted something, her father would have brought it to her on a velvet cushion, loving to spoil her.

Diana leaned down and gently kissed Astrea's cheek. "My, little Love."

Diana and Kal stood up and took each other's hand as they walked out Astrea's room. Diana quietly closed her door.

Now in their bedroom, Kal took off his pajama pants and got back in bed while Diana was taking off her robe. He licked his lips and smirked watching her.

"I know you got up to check on Astrea, but you were up way before then. Was there something wrong?"

Diana smiled and turned getting under the covers and snuggled closer to Kal. His arm wrapped around her waist, keeping her close. His thumb slowly traced circle on her hip.

"From Themyscira, to arriving to Man's World. I was only focused on my mission. But then I met this wonderful man who became my best friend and lover. He changed so much for me. Made what I thought was impossibilities,

Kal smiled.

"It's like I'm living a dream."

"Feels like it's too good to be true?"

"Yes..." she answered a bit shyly.

Kal smiled again as his hand reaches up to her hair, tangling his fingers around the strands and cupping the back of her head, easing her face gently closer to his. He captured her lower lip briefly between his own. He opened his mouth slightly, and moved it to cover hers completely. Diana was hit by a dolt of heat, running from her lips, down her body, ending in a place between her thighs. Suddenly she felt warm, and she reflectively moved her lips slightly against his. She sighed into Kal's mouth as he captured her lips more firmly.

Diana's hand find it's way to his shoulder. She stroke her hand along taking in the way his skin felt underneath her hands, the way his breath hitches when she do.

"Doesn't this feel real?" he muttered against her lips.

"Yes, and it's feels so damn good."

She clings to him now, her hold she had on him tightening.

"I'm right here, Di. Our daughter is right down the hall, in her room. This is our dream come true we worked all those years to achieve. This is our life together. This is the real deal. Believe it, Beautiful. You're stuck with me for eternity and beyond."

"Of course, I believe and I wouldn't have it any other way stuck for eternity and beyond with my Love."

Diana smiled before kissing him hotly on the mouth. She pushed him to lay on his back as she straddled him without breaking their kiss.

Kal let out a small groan as Diana finally broke their kiss and he watched his wife rise. The blanket sliding down to her waist, exposing her perfect breasts to his eager eyes.

He let his eyes wonder over her naked flesh taking in the lovely image of his wife, feeling a certain sense of pride to see this gorgeous Goddess' body that only he was aloud to see. Diana felt the nerves flutter in her chest, the weight of his eyes on her as he drank in her body, her skin tingling as his gaze passed over her skin.

Kal's hands run themselves up and down her stomach, loving the goose bumps that rose at his touch. Slowly he ran his hands down her thighs and back up again all the way to her breasts. And then, Diana gasped as his hand dipped to her inner thigh, stopping just ather core and traveling back out again.

She leaned back down and buried her face in the crook of his neck, letting out a soft sigh of pleasure, and Kal let his hands wander a bit more.

"Diana," he whispered her name lustfully.

She raised her head to look into his eyes.

"I love you."

And she could feel how much he loved her, pressing against her center.

Diana gasped and threw her head back as they were one in an ardent, sensual dance of carnal desires.

She titled her head back forward, looking down at him with a seductive smirk.

"I love you, too..." she breathed out and leaned back down kissing him passionately.

Kal smiled into the kiss when he felt Diana take his hands and entwine their fingers together. Moans, gasps, and heated cries. It was their tender movements that spoke many more words.
