The bed was huge so there was plenty of room whether she had moved or not. She had moved, in fact she had woken up at some point because instead of the blanket from the bed she was curled up under that same blanket Charles had wrapped her in that first night that he had also used as a makeshift toga. Sharah had inadvertently claimed it. Despite being asleep and the soft light of the water feature, Sharah looked rested, relaxed, and was actually smiling in her sleep.

Charles smiled and said “Well sunnuva… look at that, V.” he whispered very softly. He pointed at her face and smiled.

Yavia nodded, putting an arm around his waist and hugging him. “That’s gorgeous,” she whispered back. Sharah’s feelings in her sleep were even more so, and V wished she could share that with TK, but she knew he did in his own way.

He crawled very carefully into bed on one side, leaving Sharah enough room to adjust as she felt in her sleep. He exhaled slowly and was soon asleep, but not before whispering “I love ya, V.”

Yavia slipped into the bed on the other side, laying on her side facing them both. “I love you, too.” Yavia didn’t miss the way Sharah’s smile grew slightly nor the sense of contentment that flowed off of her. Even in her sleep Sharah could feel how they loved each other and her and their much deeper connection. Yavia brushed her hair back a little and kissed her forehead before drifting off to sleep.

Sharah woke as the tangle of limbs unraveled itself some. She had no idea who moved, it didn’t matter, it made her smile. She had no idea what time it was or how long she had slept. She drifted in a content half asleep state, listening to and feeling the people next to her. That was until she suddenly had to get up.

She opened her eyes, it was Charles who had moved. Good he woke up far too easily, Yavia slept like a bkava in a hurricane. She carefully extricate herself from the slumbers embrace of the other woman and then slid down to the end of the bed. She looked to make sure they were both still asleep and with a smile closed the door behind her.

Half an hour later, Sharah was showered and dressed and in the kitchen. The house was quiet but it didn’t feel empty. It felt warm and welcoming, like she fit, even while they were still asleep. She didn’t feel like she was intruding or a guest. This was home now, and right then Sharah’s fears and worries were very far away.

Sharah stood by the counter making hot chocolate and eating toast. The sun was rising and the colors and light coming through the windows was brilliantly beautiful. Her eyes landed in Hope and adjusting her perception a bit she could feel the simple joy all that light brought to the tiny tree. Sharah hurried down the stairs and into her room. She returned and pulled a stool around and sat at the counter sketch pad and pencils infront of her and began to draw.

Sharah

Warm hands went around her hips and wrapped themselves around her middle, and soft kisses landed exquisitely on the junction between her neck and shoulder. “If I’d ‘a known that you drew, I’d never have invited ya here. Two artists in such close proximity? It’ll be chaos…” Charles said with a grin as his hands slid slowly under her top and rubbed against her stomach.

Her eyes closed, her head dropping forward as he kissed her skin. Her breath moved out ringed with a soft sound of delight at the contact. Her skin shivered under the warmth of his hands. “Oh well, I’ll try to keep my half of the chaos contained.” Any other time that statement would hold a depth of other meaning, but right then there was only soft amusement in her voice. She leaned back against his chest, and tilted her head back on his shoulder. There was a great depth of love and happiness and peace and home that flowed over him from her. “I didn’t wake you did I?”

Sharah

“Light sleeper, love. Hazard of the job.” he said with a smile. “But thats ok. So how are you doing? Feel better since your sleep?”
