Micah smiled and kissed her deeply. Pulling back he said “Mama Bear gonna protect those cubs, ain’t she?” and he smiled. “I don’t see a reason you can’t ‘bump into the guy’ and get an idea for yourself. As long as you play it cool. But don’t get your hackles up… don’t want Faye knowing you are conducting an Op on her beau.”

She laughed. “Oh sweetheart, you’ve met my daughter, right? Tousled with her encryption. I assure you she’s not only expecting it of me but knows exactly how I’ll make it happen before I do. But I’m not going to let that stop me,” she said with a grin, slipping back down the bed to lay next to him again. reaching a hand over, she rested it on the side of his face.
Gazing at this unusual and surprising man, Shara whispered, “Alright darlin’, your turn. You pulled me from the brink, my turn to reassure you about your nightmares.”

Micah smiled and looked down at her. “Whoa whoa whoa… hold yer horses, there. Ms. Shara Elaine Calloway… did you just call me ‘sweetheart’ and ‘darlin’ ’ in almost the same breath?” and he grinned and kissed her. He pulled back ever so slightly, so that as he spoke his lips brushed against hers, and whispered “You keep that up and you may just start me thinkin’ that you’re fallin’ for me.” and he pressed his lips to hers and held her cheek with his fingers. Again he pulled back, but kept their lips touching. “‘Cause right now my only nightmare is that you won’t.” and he kissed her solidly again… and this time didn’t break the contact.

Wrapping an arm over him, she kissed him back, full of longing. Her desire had been well sated and she was too enamoured with this intriguing feeling that has settled into her body. She wasn’t entirely sure what it was though, but her curiosity was definitely piqued. And then the kiss shifted, at least on her end. She seemed to sink into it. She wouldn’t be able to place it in that moment, but Shara surrendered just a little bit.

The kiss lasted… who knows how long. But then slowly Micah pulled back and looked at her. “Yeah… we’re in it, ain’t we?” and he kissed her again.
Shara didn’t answer back with words and the part of her that was usually so guarded wanted to protect, but the reality was she didn’t need to speak. Her kiss in return spoke for her.
Pulling back, he said “I owe you a nightmare, don’t I?” as he looked at her and then he sat up cross-legged and looked down and nodded to himself. Looking up he said “Ok… mine is always the same, but when I’m in it it is always new… Its completely dark. Silent. Even when I scream there is no noise. I can’t move. But I can feel things stabbing and sawing and ripping and pulling my flesh. And I’m helpless. No idea what is going on. The pain builds and builds and builds until I want to die. Then… I wake up. Turns out what I am dreaming about is when we got evaced from the place I lost this -” and he rapped the metal arm. ” I was really f&^%ed up. Lost consciousness. Emergency surgery to keep me from bleeding out. The dream is when they are operating. Apparently there were still drugs in my system from the ‘interrogator’ and they reacted with the anesthesia so I was conscious for the surgery; but I was paralyzed, blind, and deaf.... but could feel everything. Doc’s called it… what was it?… yeah… ‘locked-in syndrome’.” and he leaned in and whispered “Spoiler. I done got better.” and he smiled and winked.

Her hands reached out and caressed down his side, but the contact was firmer and it was meant as a soothing gesture rather than an enticing one. Her pale steely eyes shifted, sadness touching the edges. “My poor sweet man,” Shara said quietly. There was absolutely no pity in her voice either, he’d know her well enough by this point that she would dare bring pity to the table. “Better doesn’t mean we aren’t affected now and again. How often do you have that nightmare?”
~Shara Calloway
“Right after? Every night, multiple times. Was off active duty for a year getting used to the new hardware and psych evaluations. Lessened after a while. Now? Couple’a times a month maybe. More if I’m super-stressed.” He looked at her and smiled a warm smile.
“So what you’re saying is that there’s a good chance tonight you’ll be just fine,” Shara replied with a teasing grin. She wasn’t sure about her nightmares but she was relaxed and i a good enough mood that maybe they’d play ball.
“Your man, am I?” and he laid back and grinned.
Her mouth shifted into an ‘o’, her eyes suddenly confused.
“I like the sound ‘a that.”

For someone who was so careful with her words, Shara’s had been rather careless tonight at times. But they were no less honest, and wasn’t that when you had to pay the most attention. Still, she was treading where she could not let herself step. Right? It wasn’t an option.
But she wasn’t doing covert work anymore. She wasn’t going to be some fake-named person people would always forget because she made them forget her.
But it had been so long. And?
But.
But.
She didn’t have a quippy reply so Shara simply replied how she best felt she could: she leaned forward and kissed Micah, seeking the warmth and solidity of his lips.
