I woke up to the sunlight shining directly on my face. For a moment I did not know where I was, and I pulled myself in a sitting postion and looked anxiously around me. I had fallen asleep on the luscious green grass. My heart thudded against my breast. How did I let this happen?
Last night when I went skinny dipping in the river, I had decided to go to my room and give myself to my husband. I have missed him very much and craved his touch, but feeling exhausted, I sat myself down for a few minutes to relax and figure out what I was going to say to my husband once I saw him. I must have dosed off and slept through out the night.
Why had my husband not come looking for me? I raised myself off the ground and walked back to the castle. I think my husband and I need to have a long talk.
As I made my way up the stairs to my chambers, I was greatful that no one saw me, I did not feel like explaining myself to anyone at this time. I slowly opened the door and walked in my room to find Alexander, sitting on the stone floor, leaning against the wall, and in tears.
There was a sadness in his eyes as he looked up at me. His muscled chest tightened at the sight of me and then relaxed. He made no movement to come to me, and he spoke not. Tears continued to glide down his handsome chiseled face, and he finally looked away. I dropped my body to the floor and threw myself on him, but his arms did not wrap around me as he always had done before. I cuddled close to him and waited.
It was a long wait, but well worth it. My husbands arms finally wrapped around me and squeezed me tightly, and I felt all his love infuse inside me at this precious moment. I looked up into his tearstained face and I was overwhelmed with all the love that shined in his eyes.
No words were needed as we both rose from the floor and made our way to our bed, and as we lay on it, I promised myself that I will never sleep another night without him ever again.
