“Jesus, that made me hungry.  And thirsty.  Bourbon, anyone?”

She laughed but didn’t move her head from its resting place.  She loved listening to Caleb’s heart beat away in his massive chest.  It was so strong, so sure.  She could have used that heartbeat as the soundtrack for the rest of her life and never been afraid another single solitary day. 

“Really?  No takers?  Alright, join me when you feel up to it.  I’m going to get me a drink.”

Caleb laughed and hugged his arms around her small frame, drawing her in closer, if that was even possible.  If he wanted another drink, he didn’t want it bad enough to move away from the touch of her skin or the sweet smell of her dark and badly tousled hair.  After who knew how much time had gone by, he laid her down gently on top of the bed, pulling a throw blanket over her and lying beside her. 

He caressed her face lightly and never once looked away from her eyes.  She could feel them growing heavy with much needed sleep but she didn’t want to sleep, not now.  It was too nice to be here beside him and smell his sweet breath not to want more of it.  She was greedy for him and she didn’t feel an ounce of shame admitting it.  She didn’t want to sleep but she couldn’t help it and the last thing she saw before she drifted off was his beautiful face watching over her.  Her sleep was blissfully empty of dreams.  It was the first night she would ever have without a single nightmare.
