Zylvia shook her head exasperatedly at her husband. He had fallen asleep on top of the covers. Despite them being separated by the blankets though, he was still lying right next to her with an arm around her waist. The sun wouldn"t rise for a few hours yet, so he should still sleep for a while more. She managed to pull the blankets out from under him and covered him.

Was he trying to get sick? Sometimes she really worried about how he had lived before marrying her. He didn"t generally eat anywhere near enough for his size, she was pretty sure he had a tendency to overwork himself, and he would fall asleep in a way that was likely to get him sick. And there was probably more that she wasn"t aware of.

She smiled faintly as she wrapped him up in a hug. At least this meant he needed her to keep him from wrecking his health. She would accept him overworking himself if she had to, especially with something important. However she would not accept easily fixed issues that she would be able to help him with.

She watched him breathe in and out. She felt rather well rested and no longer felt any need to sleep. She didn"t get up though. Disturbing her husband"s much needed sleep was not an option.

His arm suddenly tightened around her as his body conformed more against hers. She shivered as she felt his breath on her neck. A sigh left her lips.

She wriggled until she re-freed her hands so she could stroke his hair. Kaldrek murmured something she couldn"t understand. She glanced at his face and realized he was still sleeping. She placed a kiss on the top of his head.

She kept herself almost completely still for the next few hours. She wanted her dear husband to get enough sleep. While she let him sleep, she busied her brain with what she planned to do for the day.

When she realized she could feel the sun"s warmth through the window, she moved peeling a little back from Kaldrek. He was holding her quite snugly.

Looking at his face, she smiled. Her eyes fell on his lips and she gulped. Well, she had every right to, didn"t she?

She kissed him softly, trying to not disturb him too much. A soft groan escaped her husband. Had he woken up? His eyes were still closed. Zylvia moved her lips to his cheek and then up to his ear. She found herself enjoying being a little mischevious.

However, when her lips touched his ears, she suddenly found herself on her back. Kaldrek leaned over her with a teasing smile on his face, "Mornin" Zylv."

She felt a blush creep up her face, "Oh. You"re awake. Morning." She suddenly felt incredibly shy, and wondered just how long he had been awake.

He leaned down and started to nuzzle her neck, "Mhmm. My ears are rather sensitive."She felt his tongue briefly touch her neck and shivered.


"Really? I didn"t know. Sorry." Zylvia felt upset that she had disturbed his sleep.

Her husband pulled up and laughed, "Not really something I go around telling everyone." He placed a kiss on her nose making her blink in surprise. Propping his head up with one hand, he cupped her cheek with his other, "You"re adorable, Zylv."

When she peered up into his eyes, she could see his sincerity. Lifting her arms up, she wrapped them around his neck, "Am I now? Prove it." Sometimes she really couldn"t believe the words that came out of her mouth.

His kiss was gentle at first, but quickly deepened. A shiver went up her spine as his hands pulled her close and refused to stay still.

When he pulled away, he had a blush dusting his cheeks as he bit his lip. She could see desire clearly evident in his eyes. "Zylv? Can we.... I want..." He didn"t seem capable of finishing his thought. Not that he needed to, Zylvia was fairly certain where that was going.

Her heart beat rather fast as she nodded. She decided to tease him though, "I do want children, after all."

"How many?"

"I refuse to put a limit on it." She grinned at him. A dazed look came onto his face.

"...Alright," A soft chuckle left him. "I"ll take that to just mean a lot."

A smile blossomed on Zylvia"s face as she realized that Kaldrek had pretty much just pa.s.sively agreed to have as many kids with her as she wanted.
