Chapter 9 And Now Together

XXXXXxxxxxxxxxxx

I guess that from all of the differences that we had in the beginning, we found out that we were similar in so many ways. Now as I lie here with her in my arms, I figure that I have everything I hoped for...and I'm right in my figuring. I still feel in some ways that she is just to good for me, or that this is all a dream that I haven't woke up from yet. In my heart, however, I know it's true. We're together and nothing can break us apart. Mon Dieu, this life that I've lead wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't for her coming into mon life and making everything right. Sometimes, it's just so hard to believe.

I love her, with all my heart I do. It doesn't scare moi any more, like it used to. She smiles at me, and she looks so peaceful when she sleeps. Me, I can't sleep...not without watching her first. Dreaming, the ivory glow of the moon making her skin irresistible. Making me want to run my fingers across the smooth, delicate surface. And just the thought is already filling me with desire to have her again and again. She's the first woman to tame me...and I'm hers.

She cuddles up closer to me, she's warm and it's hard to ignore that fact and I groan lightly. I hope that I can keep myself under control so I don't wake her. I look down upon her and she's still smiling. Mon ange. Mon belle ange. Her breathing is so deep and even, and she clutching onto me, with her head in my chest. Her hair tickling me slightly. I try to stifle another groan but I can't. She's won this time...and I wake her, not meaning to.

"Somethin' tha mattah sugah?" She asks groggily, opening those green pools of emerald.

"Non." I smile sweetly. "Go back t' sleep amour."

"Y' sure?" She asks.

"Oui." I reply.

She settles her head back down on my chest, and I run my hands through her chestnut colored strands. I hear her purr slightly and I groan again. She hears and then she toys with me. Dieu, I can't get enough of this woman! She constantly leaves me breathless. After a few minutes of torture, she arches up and kisses me...and we're both lost again to the night.

I'm thankful that I've met her, and I'm thankful for everything. Existing is what life is, which is not much of a life without Love.
