An image appeared in the distance. It wasn’t Chase. It was dark. She couldn’t make out who it was. She slowly walked towards it, wanting to see who was there with her. She put her hand on the shoulder and it turned causing her to scream out when she seen it.
“Taylor wake up. Wake up.” Damien was shaking her. She opened her eyes, tears drained from them. He brushed his knuckles across them. “It was only a dream Sweet.” He sighed. She could see the pain he was feeling as much as her own. His breath was as erratic as her own, and he didn’t even need to breathe. They were connected as one.
“I’m sorry.” She didn’t know what else to say. The image she had seen was horrific. Monster like. Grey skin. A long nose. A mouth full of sharp pointed teeth, with saliva dripping from them. But the eyes she knew. They were Damien’s eyes.
“I know you don’t feel that way. You can’t help what you dream Sweet. Come on, I’ll help you get the kids out.”
She reached for Ashley, as she was seated behind Taylor. She watched as he tenderly carried Zach beside her into the house. They laid them down, took off their shoes and covered them up. When they reached the living room he stopped by the door.
It wasn’t a good idea, she knew that, but she wasn’t ready for him to leave her just yet. She didn’t know who she was kidding. She wasn’t ready for him to leave her ever. She looked at him and then made her way to her bedroom. Sex was not an option because she wouldn’t do that with the kids in the next room but she wanted him to hold her. She needed him to hold her. He followed somewhat reluctantly, which surprised Taylor.
“Can you stay with me? I can find you some jammies if you want. I still have all of his…. I have some that you can borrow.” Her voice trailed off.
“Are you sure this is what you want? I’m not going away. I’m only a thought away.” His voice was hesitant and shaky.
“It is. If you can’t, I understand. I know this don’t make since, maybe it is just everything in the past. I’m afraid if I go to sleep, when I wake up you won’t be there. That confuses me. I just met you.” I want this terribly. I want this permanently. I’m scared I’ll lose you to.
“There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you, Taylor. Nothing. I’m glad you feel that way. I feel the same way. All I can tell you is I’m not going anywhere ever. This isn’t a dream. I can even pinch you if you want.” He smiled that sexy smile reassuring her as reached for his shirt and pulled it off letting it fall to the floor. He shed his pants before lying down on the bed. Then Taylor felt a bit of hesitation to join him. So much for needing jammies.
“I just have to change first.” She walked to the set of drawers pulling out her usual nighttime attire. T-shirt, boxers. Not the sexiest in the world but definitely wins the award for most comfortable.
Risking a glance back at him she felt his eyes pierce right through her. She could feel herself becoming stirred within and quickly raced to the bathroom to change.
Holy hell! Well now that I have you there, I’m nervous as hell. She thought for a second she might ac
tually vomit.
She pulled her shirt off before splashing some cool water on her face. She brushed her teeth. Knowing he could feel the nervousness inside of her but she couldn’t stop from feeling that way. She pulled off her bra, rid her pants and panties, threw on her t-shirt and boxers then opened the door. It took everything in her to walk to the bed and not close the door, staying in the bathroom the rest of the night.
He stilled lying there looking at her before raising the blankets and gesturing for her to join him and she did. She snuggled her back against him.
“You’re trembling Sweet. I enjoyed the bikini show in the mirror today. Thanks for that.” He kissed her forehead as he felt her tense. “Relax. Sleep.” He commanded. Her body surrendered as if she were hypnotized and had no other choice.
Chapter Eight
She woke feeling the warmth of the sun touching her face through the window. Chase always hated it, but she loved it and had ultimately own. Right off the bat she heard Ashley’s giggle, bringing her to sit straight up in bed. She didn’t even have to look to know she was alone in bed.
Fearing the worst Taylor made her way to the kitchen. She wasn’t ready to answer questions about her and Damien to the kids yet.
“Look Mom, silly face pancakes. Damien made them for us. Just like you.” Zach was ecstatic shaking his head yes as he took another bite. She felt total disappointment because Damien had taken that from her. Hurt even. That was the one thing that she had always done with the twins. It was their special time. Even Liz never had squeezed in on it. It was the only thing special Taylor felt she could do with them.
Damien’s head rose looking straight into Taylor’s. Enigmatic eyes staring bottomlessly into hers. “It’s still yours Sweet, I just borrowed it.” He whispered into her ear before gently kissing her cheek softly and turning to pour her a cup of coffee. She decided it was better to let it go, then to try to explain something he obviously already knew.
“Are you guys getting married? It’s ok with me. You don’t have to ask my permission or anything.” Zach asked looking at Damien.
That was all it took to make Taylor go into a coughing fit as she choked on her coffee, spilling it all over the table as she gasped. After a moment she was finally able to answer him.
“No. What makes you ask that? Did your Aunt Liz say something again?” She had to know where his mind was going with this or if someone had told him that.
“Well, he slept in bed with you Mom, you said that people can sleep with each other when they get married. You’re not married. So that must mean that you are getting married?” His big blues questioned her diligently.
“No, that doesn’t mean we are getting married. It just means that we like each other very much.” Taylor caught a small amount of dissatisfaction on his face leaving her to wonder why.
“Well then why is it ok for you guys to sleep together? Can I sleep with my girlfriend when I get one? I will like her very much.”
“Absolutely not!” She had to get a grip on herself quickly. Her tone raising, high enough to reach the ceiling. “And well, to answer your other question.” She paused. How do I answer that other question? She looked over towards Damien for help. What do I say to that? He shrugged his shoulders. Some help you are. He smiled back at her and then took the lead.
“When you get older you’ll understand ok. Sometimes people can sleep in the same bed as another if both of them say it’s ok. If they love each other very much with everything in their heart and soul.” Taylor was speechless. Thoughtless. He loved her with everything in his heart and soul. Her inner Goddess wept tears of joy before she became overcome with multiple emotions that she was now fighting from showing her kids.
