Falling…

♥ He fell asleep beside me this morning.

Bright and early we connected. Before the sun came up, he was at my room, knocking on my door and grinning from ear to ear when I opened it. He looked me up and down, pulled me in close and kissed me. 2 hours later, we lay in a naked heap on the bed with the news on television and him lightly snoring beside me, his hand still holding mine. I let him sleep, enjoying his presence, so calm and content. He only slept 10 minutes, then apologized for drifting off. We talked about the news, about the dream home lottery and about how he’ll take me to Manotick to show me the amazing houses there.

Our fingers traced patterns on each others skin and he found my ticklish spots instantly.  He tickled me and took delight in watching me squirm. He laughed.

He stayed with me for hours before having to leave for work. He kissed my lips tenderly and looked at me like he didn’t want to go. He lingered by the door, holding both of my hands and pressing his lips hard against mine.
