MIDNIGHT
When I woke up the cool breeze was blowing softly through the open window on my left, stirring the thin sheet against my skin and causing goose bumps to rise on my arms and a shiver through my shoulders. Instead of getting up to close the window, which would have just made the cold go deeper within, I burrowed closer to Bastian and his warmth. Just touching him made heat spike in me, deep inside where my love and lust for him resided. I knew then that there was simply no doubt that I wasn’t going back to sleep so I moved his hair out of the way and nipped his earlobe gently with my teeth.
Sometimes that was all it took to wake Bastian but lately he seemed to be sleeping more soundly or my late night cravings were taking more of his daily energy than I realized. Not to be deterred I took his long black locks out of his ponytail and ran my fingers through it, spreading the length out across our pillows so I could marvel at its’ beauty. His hair was long, thick and so black that it seemed to mirror true darkness. When Bastian wore black silk shirts or the pajamas I bought for his last birthday you couldn’t tell where one began and the other ended. My boring brown hair, which he swore was a rich mahogany with red highlights, could never be as silky soft or beautiful as his is. If it were long enough I’d wrap it around myself like a fur coat and sleep in it.
Still fully asleep Bas turned over onto his back, shifting his legs and arms in a way that made me smile. It seemed as if somehow in his mind he knew what was going on, what I wanted and simply complied without waking. At first I pressed my body against his, close and tight to feel the muscles and heat of him against me. The warmth seeped deep inside, chasing away the chill that had woken me. I slid my fingertips over Bastian’s chest, feeling the hardness of his muscles, the broadness of his chest. I reveled in the smooth feeling of his skin and slowly moved over him, leaving soft, wet kisses along my path.
