The
stars looked more beautiful than ever, shining so brightly they enlightened the
space around him well enough to see. The tall man turned slightly, just enough
to be able to settle his gaze on his bed where they took in every detail of the
woman laying sprawled on the midnight-blue covers. Engrossed by the sight of
her, he turned enough to lean against the windows while watching her. It
wouldn't be long before she'd wake up now and he would be able to trade the
stars of space, for those in her eyes.
The
stars are slowly fading, the night is almost gone
Wish
I could keep away and stay here in your arms
His
eyes were shining bright with love, affection and desire as his eyes traced her
body from toe to crown, sliding up along her long, slender legs, over the soft
skin of her buttocks and just to make sure she was complete, he counted the
vertebrae's of her spine. The object of his attention shifted a little to her
left, bringing one perfect breast into his view and sighed a sigh of content. A
happy smile curled itself around her full lips as she pressed her face into her
pillow, a long curl of black hair falling across her forehead. The sheer
happiness and love that showed on her face, even as she slept caused his heart
almost to burst with joy.
If
I could turn the clock back even stop the moon
I'd
steal another hour, but what good would it do?
Unintentionally
his eye fell on the faint scar on her left shoulder and without mercy all her
injuries of the past year flooded into his mind. The cuts, bruises and broken
bones she had sustained when she'd been pushed down a cliff by a jealous admirer
of an alien culture, a broken wrist and ankle given to her by a Cardessian who
tried to attack her captain. When the ship had lost her Eisenberg compensators
she'd fallen against the conference table and had walked around with a nasty
scar across her forehead for days.
He
had ached for her each time she had gotten injured, even though she sealed the
pain from him well enough, he'd known it was there and that knowledge in itself
had given him a good excuse to spoil her senseless, no matter how much she
protested...'but', he'd always countered, 'you’d do the same to me.' And it
always got him the same response; a grin lightening her eyes and filling his
heart. Oh how he loved her.
I
could love you till forever for another thousand lives
and
still not find a way to show you everything I feel inside
It's
an endless, deep devotion, with each new day I find
I
could love you till forever and still run out of time
The
vision on the covers wrinkled her nose and stirred, probably picking up on his
darkened mood but he couldn't stop himself. The scar on her shoulder reminded
him of-- he couldn't think about it. Not now, not even when it had happened a
year ago. The shock on her face, closely followed by fright, humiliation and
anger had haunted him for weeks. And even though she'd managed to work through
it quicker than he had, there had been instances over period of months that she
would remember, however briefly.
Unwilling
to continue along that line of thought his eyes settled on her beautiful face
again. Her pale features were framed by her soft, yet thick hair. He forced his
mind on their first year anniversary, which they'd celebrated a week before, and
on their wedding. She had looked so gorgeous that fateful day that he'd almost
decided to forego the wedding and stay in bed instead. But he wouldn't tray the
memory of the love on her face when she committed herself to him -fully and
unconditionally- for anything in the universe, as cliché as that might sound.
It
might just be you smiling, some little thing you do
And
all at once I start to see a whole new side of you
The
glow that has taken possession of her that day had made her look even softer and
more unreachable than ever and the entire day he hadn't been able to wipe the
huge smirk he carried around off his face. *He* was the one who was going to
take her home, then and for the rest of his life. He had spend the entire day in
a daze, seeing nothing but her smile and the pure love and affection in her
black eyes. He had felt as if his heart would swell and burst out of his chest.
And she'd know, being the empath she was, and the smile would leave her face,
replaced by something he couldn't describe, but which made his knees buckle
under him.
Girl,
that's sure amazing that anything could be this strong
Like
a river of emotion, that just goes on and on
The
smile on her face resurfaced and she rolled onto his back, allowing him full
view of her divine body. Oh the things he'd done to her. A sly smile crept from
under his beard as he remembered one of their most intense love-making sessions,
and then he wasn't even thinking about their wedding night.
I
could love you till forever for another thousand lives
and
still not find a way to show you everything I feel inside
The
man smiled at himself and turned back to the stars when he couldn't bear looking
at her any longer, but even then her eyes seemed to haunt her. He loved her so
thoroughly he still couldn't believe it, nor could he at times believe she
really was his wife, after all the years they had spend as just friends,
marriage had become but a distant dream. A pleasant one, but distant
nonetheless. And now she was here, in his bed, as his wife and he longed for
nothing, but to have their love last for eternity.
It's
an endless, deep devotion. With each new day I find
I
could love you till forever and still run out of time
A
soft sigh coming from behind him made him look back to the naked woman on the
blue covered and as she slowly woke up he forgot to breath, entranced by the
sight of her he forget even the stars. Until she opened her eyes and stared at
him with an expression that made him see stars all around him.
"Come
back to bed," she pleaded. She looked lovely, her eyes still a bit dull
with sleep and her hair tousled.
"I'm
not tired." Her eyes set his heart on fire as she send a ripple of lust
through his mind.
~Who
said I intended for you to get some sleep?~ His smile grew wider still as he
crawled into bed and enveloped her in his arms, for a moment basking in the love
between them.
~I
do love you so, my wife~ He told her as he gently forced her to lay down again
and began to worship her.
~As
I do you~ she replied, along with a strong flow of desire and a loud moan.
'If
this moment is forever,' he figured, 'forever isn't long enough'
It's
an endless, deep devotion. With each new day I find
I
could love you till forever and still run out of time
End
