Til The Sun Comes UP

Chapter 18~ Rocking Her to Sleep

Love's POV

Now I am lying in Eric's bed, wide awake. I toss and turn for at least an hour before I decide to get up and go back to the living room.

I walk into the living room, and Eric is up playing his game. As I sit next to him, he stops playing and asks me what's wrong.

I tell him I'm not sleepy and then lay down on the couch and watch him play the game. I wake up to Eric shaking my arm. " Are you ready to go to bed now?" he asked. I get up and follow him into the bedroom and climb back into the bed.

Eric is on one side, and I am on the other. It is my first time spending time with Eric, but I feel comfortable and safe to relax and go back to sleep. I am lying on my side facing Eric as he holds me against his chest rocking me. I feel that my face is wet. I look up at him and he tells me that I was crying in my sleep. I had the dream again. Eric keeps rocking me and places a kiss on my cheek. I let him hold me and then decide to live in the moment.

I feel starved for affection. I want to be held and loved. I want something to remove the unhappiness that overcomes me when I awake from the dreams. Eric is handsome, almost beautiful. He is about 6 feet and muscular but not big, he plays basketball for our college and stays in great shape. His hazel eyes and light blondish brown hair with the softest, most perfect large curls make him look like a male model. He looks like he grew up at the beach.

His touch is familiar yet unknown. I feel safe and now I just want to be close to him because honestly he is here with me in this moment of sadness.

I put my arm around his waist, rubbing his back. I lift up and take his bottom lip between my lips and suck on it lightly as I start to kiss him. I move my hand from his back and now I am touching his sexy abs and moving my hand over the bulge in his pajama pants. I know my actions are unexpected. His body is reacting to my touch.
