~blinking sleepily into awareness, touching her tongue to her lips before parting them..letting a soft breath escape. Looking around for a moment before realizing where she is. His chambers were distinctly different from the cottage settings. Turning her cheek into the softness of the pillow as her eyes flutter closed again, her fingertips drawing up to lightly trace the line of her cheek as he had done so sweetly before feathering the gentlest of kisses upon her lips. Turning to her side, cradling a hand under her cheek as her other hand slowly moves over the indent where he had slept...the linen still slightly warm. A soft smile touches her lips as she leans up to an elbow, her tussled curls falling over one shoulder, leaving the other bared as her night shift had slid down her upper arm. A creamy expanse of her neck exposed....her breath catching a bit as she can feel the warmth of his breath whispering against her. Nothing could be as wonderful as falling asleep with his arms warmly around her~
~she had been afraid to open her eyes as the night before could have been the very dream she had been having for months. Sitting more fully up, drawing her knees upward toward her chest, hugging her arms about them....thoughtfully resting her cheek to her knees as she softly smiles into the sun's warming rays, streaming though the part in the draperies. Lightly running the fingers of her hand through her curls, silky tendrils snagging a bit. Lifting her hand, her eyes softening, glistening as she confirms what she had hoped. Last night had been real....bringing the precious symbol to her lips lightly....a smile so loving and soft cast upon her lips. Laying back, wanting to bask a bit longer in these feelings, tugging the covers up under her chin as she reaches and drags his pillow to her, hugging it tightly...sighing softly as she closes her eyes for a while longer~
