"Let Me Down Slowly" Alec Benjamin

I had a nightmare last night:
    Asleep under the covers of our bed, I'm on the verge of awakeness and the dreamland... the conscious wins over and my eyes flutter open to the hazy, grey bedroom. I'm so used to seeing his silhouette under the backdrop of the hallway light, it almost scares me when I realize his spot is empty, the covers torn away. I sit up straight, the cold December night or morning... whatever... closing around my body. I hear a shuffling down the hallway, his shuffling on the cold marble floor. I remove the blanket from around me and walk to the bedroom door, the brightness daring me to leap from the dark room. I inch the door open and see his bare, muscular back from across the hallway in the bathroom. The door makes a small squeak and I swear I see hesitation in his back muscles before he turns around and faces me. I hadn't even realized I had stepped across the threshold and into the bathroom until he picked me up by the waste, a firm grip on my thin nightgown, and set me on the counter. Before I know it he's hastily kissing me, our lips intertwined and our tongues in a fervent dance. He moves his hands down my legs and they rest on my thighs, ever so slightly I feel him lift the peach silk from my gown and he electrocutes my skin with his. His kisses become more gentle as he moves to my jaw and then my neck, I hear him groan as I massage my fingers through his hair... but this doesn't feel right. There's something off... I feel something unspoken... All this, it feels almost like an apology, he works too quickly. Talk to me, I manage to whisper he shakes his head, lingering at the nape of my neck, I feel his hot breath on my skin, and it sends unwanted shivers down my stomach. I let you down, his voice is deep and raspy, like he hasn't spoken in days. Baby, I take his face in my hands and move to meet his eyes. I startle at the sight in front of me, instantly dropping his face from my hands... there's nothing there, no eyes, nothing to be held in those eyes. A dark grin spreads across every inch of his face, abnormal gaps where teeth should be. I move backward, expecting to find the sink counter I had just been sitting on but I fall back into a space of nothingness. Complete darkness surrounding me. He's gone.

I wake up from the nightmare with a concerned face hovering over me, his face, perfect and there, a glimmer in his eyes as he scans my face. A silent plea for me to tell him what's wrong... I take his face in my hands and gently kiss him as an answer, taking the time to align our lips together, a perfect fit. He kisses me back and I can feel him smiling, making me giggle against him.
