Summary: She is there sleeping beside him,
just as he had always hoped she'd be.
******************************************************

4:34 a.m.
by Susan Frankovich
~~~~~~

He is awakened by his dreams, just as he usually
is...only this time when he wakes, she is there.

She is there sleeping beside him, just as he had
always hoped she'd be.

Quietly he lies there resting his hand on her hip
and watching her sleep, and he wonders if she
dreams the same things he does.

He hopes not.

Several minutes later when she finally stirs, she
doesn't open her eyes, but she smiles because she
knows he's there beside her, just as she had always
hoped he would be.

She lazily rolls over onto her side, and as she
does, her pajama top rides up, exposing the skin
along her lower back, but she doesn't pull it down.

She doesn't want to.

The next thing she hears is the rustling of soft
cotton sheets and the next thing she feels is his
warm mouth making its way across her back...

and she smiles again, although this time he doesn't
see it.

He's too busy, slowly moving upward, his mouth
and his hand now pushing her pajama top up even
further, but she doesn't pull it back down.

She doesn't want to.

His hand lightly grazes over her breast, instantly
making her feel flush and giving her goose bumps
at the same time.

Putting her hand over the top of his, she guides
it towards her other breast, and she tells him how
good it feels.

And she tells him not to stop.

And so they lie there like that, his hands caressing
her, her body singing in the early morning moonlight,
until they both gently fall asleep in the comfort of
each other's arms...

just as they always knew they would.
