After Eternity

Chapter 22

James stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes slowly, letting them adapt to the clarity that was coming from the window. He blinked a few times before being able to keep them open. Then he stretched and turned around to find Diana sleeping peacefully. The sheet was only pulled until her waist and one leg was uncovered. She had her hair covering part of her face and he gently pulled it away and stayed there looking at her for a couple of minutes. She looked perfect and he remembered that it was the first time a woman was waking up in the morning by his side since his divorce. Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice that she had opened her eyes too and when he finally did, he smiled at her.

"I didn't notice you were awake." He said still with a charming sleepy voice.

"Didn't anyone tell you that it's not good to watch people sleep?" She said still with a sleepy voice too. Diana's eyes were also blinking trying to adapt to the clarity in the bedroom.

"I was just thinking..." He said.

"About what?" She asked him while his fingers caressed her cheek.

His eyes still so swollen from sleeping. His hair all messed up, a few marks of the pillow on his left side and he still looked so gorgeous. Diana raised her head and kissed his lips softly, not even giving him time to kiss her back. He had to be the most gorgeous man she had ever been with, or she felt that way.

"I haven't slept this well in a very long time." He said remembering the excellent night sleep he had had.

Before her arrival and even the first days after her arrival had been a nightmare to him. Now everything was very calm. It had been a while since he was able to rest and sleep well, but this night was the quietest of all.

"Was that what you were thinking about?" He nodded at her question, but he was lying. He was admiring her beauty and how every detail in her amazed him.

"Wanna shower with me?" He offered, pulling the sheet away.

He was naked and she smiled at the view. They had made love again before falling asleep and none bothered to put some clothes on.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked standing right at the edge of the bed with a smirk on his lips that made her giggle. James ripped the sheet away, letting reveal her naked body. "You are naked too miss." He said knowing perfectly well her reasons.

"Yes I am." She said with no shame at all. "But I was smiling at the view... " She laughed.

James stood there naked with his hands on his waist looking at her still smiling. "Hopefully, a good smile..." He joked.

Diana crawled on the bed until she reached its end and then stood on her knees and wrapped her arms around him. She kissed his navel that gave him the goosebumps and then looked up.

"The view is just to die for." She said winking. James released a laughter and gave her his hand.

"Come." He offered again. Diana took it and they went to the bathroom incorporated in his bedroom.

"I don't even have clean clothes to wear." She complained as he opened the water.

"No one will notice." He winked at her and putting a hand under the water to test the temperature. "Come... it's warm..." He said giving her his hand.

As she took it, he pulled her inside and his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her body against his. There he captured her lips for a proper morning kiss. They kissed slow and easy and let their tongues pleasantly intensify the kiss.

"Wanna kill me?" She gasped when the kiss broke feeling completely turned on by a simple kiss. She was even feeling wet and no... it was not from the shower.
