Chapter 79

• Luciano woke up to a warm presence in his bed, it was a foreign feeling for him even though he had had a good number of lovers, he almost never fell asleep after sex and he made sure to never spend the night with a lover not even with Vera whom he had considered marrying because she told him she was pregnant. He didn’t see the need to wake up in the arms of any other woman and he had never had anyone in this bed before until Danielle and she fitted perfectly in his bed and in his arms. She snuggled closer and he inhaled the sweet smell of her.
• Last night had gone from being bad and lonely for him to hot and exciting. He had been having a nightmare and the worst kind yet and then in his dream Danielle had been in danger once again and he had been calling her. This time however, she walked towards him and he had stretched his arms out to her, instead of running into his arms, she froze and before he knew it, she had been blown backwards by an invisible breeze and he couldn’t reach her. He had been struggling to catch her before he had woken. She was in the room with him when he woke up and he had hugged her with relief.
• From there, everything sort of happened pretty fast and soon they were naked and over each other. Usually, after a nightmare, he never falls asleep again but last night, after making love with Danielle, he had fallen into a peaceful dreamless sleep and slept for the remaining hours of the night even though he had promised her that he wasn’t going to let her sleep. He felt so at peace when he had pulled her to him that he didn’t even know when he had fallen asleep, even Danielle must have felt the peace too because she was still sleeping in his arms.
