Destiny's Desire... Chapter #5 ... {Series #2 of "One Fated Nightmare"}

The next morning...1

Selene woke up with her head lying intimately on Luke's chest. The scent of passion still lingered in the air, a smile creped across her face as memories of last night's love making filled her head. She ran her hand under the covers and a long his body, touching him, remembering. The softness of his body beneath her fingers made her tremble inside. He stirred beside her, she presumed he had felt her hands exploring his body as he was sleeping and a giggle came deep from within her throat as she peered up into his eyes. "Mmmm good morning love..."2

He smiled down at her, raising up, planting a hungry kiss on her tender lips. "Mmmm good morning sexy." His fingers tangled in her messy hair as he pulled her naked body closer against his with the opposite hand, feeling her soft skin against his. "And how did my princess sleep last night?" His hand stroked her breasts beneath the covers.3

"Purrrrrfectly" she giggled as she made a purring sound and kissed his lips. "I haven't slept that good in, well, never actually." She smiled as her hands rubbed down his bare chest to his thighs. "How about my sweet Prince Charming?" She grinned as she leaned down and kissed the nape of his neck with seductive, wet, kisses. "Did you have sweet dreams last night my love?"4

He closed his eyes as a wide smile spread over his face, obviously enjoying what she was doing to him. She pressed her body down against his and he ran his hand down her back, feeling the softness of her velvet skin. "I had very; very sweet dreams and you were in every single one of them." She raised her head up and gazed into his eyes as he slipped a finger beneath her chin. "Last night was magical, when we made love it was like nothing I had ever experienced and waking up with you this morning is..." He sighed as he stroked her cheek with his forefinger. "It's like a dream come true. I love you so much Selene and I am so thankful that I saved myself until I met the right woman... You..." He kissed the tip of her nose.5

She smiled up at him and scooted closer, bringing her head to rest directly beside of his, her warm breath sending vibrations down his spine as she spoke. "I am thankful that I did as well..." Her fingers made circles along his chest as her eyes locked with his. "You made my first time so special, romantic and..." She sighed. "And I am glad I was your first as well... It makes me feel even more special." She grinned as she traced her finger over his lips. "I love you baby." She tenderly kissed his lips as her body pressed against his side.6

He grinned as he rubbed her cheek. "Mind if I use the kitchen downstairs to whip you up something special this morning? I think after last night, I really worked up an appetite this morning." He laughed, his hand rubbing down her bare shoulders.7

"Awww of course I don't mind. I am certain that I will be in for a real treat when I taste your cooking." Her finger traced his facial features as she grinned at him. "I'll keep the bed nice and warm for you while you're gone." She replied in a seductive tone.8

"Mmmm you do that..." He kissed her lips then slipped out from under the covers. Her eyes traveled his body as she stared at him standing there in the morning light with nothing on but a smile. He laughed as he noticed her wondering eyes. "Enjoying the view are you?"9

She giggled and sat up in the bed, holding the sheet against her body. "Oh I most certainly am." Her eyes scanned him all over, her heart leapt seeing him fully unclothed in the bright light of the morning sun. "So do you plan to cook in nothing but your birthday suit? If so then, maybe I should come downstairs and help you out with that." She grinned, an alluring smile forming as she kept her eyes firmly planted on his rock hard body. His chiseled features made her weak in the knees, if she had of been standing she surely would have had to brace herself.10

He looked over at the pile of clothes in the floor and laughed. "Well, the only clothes I have over here is the costume I had on last night so..." His eyes spotted one of her robes hanging behind the door. He walked over and slipped it on his arms, trying hard not to laugh. "I could wear this."11

The sight of him wearing her robe made her explode into laughter. The short purple robe barely came below his butt, the entire front was open giving her quite the view and the tightness of it on him made her laugh even harder. "Oh sweetie, I don't think that fits you too good, but you sure do look cute in it!" She giggled as she watched him pretending to model her robe. 12

He laughed as he pulled the robe back off of him and then walked over to the bed. "I think it would look much better on your very sexy body." He grinned as his fingers touched her cheek. "Now what was that you said about joining me if I were going to cook in the nude?" A flirtatious smile spread across his face as he took her hand lifting her up to him.13

The sheet fell off of her body as she sat up on her knees in the bed. Her nipples grew erect when the cool morning air hit them as she giggled. "Well I... I was only joking but..." Her face flushed with redness as she locked eyes with him. "Although it could be kind of fun, this house is very private and it's not like anyone could see us if we did." A smile mixed with seduction and intrigue played at the corners of her mouth.14

"True... Very true... Then what are we waiting for." He helped her to stand up from the bed, pulling her gently to her feet, his arms wrapping around her body as he kissed her. "Lets go make us some breakfast, after you love..." He gestured for her to walk in front of him. She giggled and started to walk out the door then stopped and turned around, seeing his eyes fixated on her butt.15

"Ahhh so now I see why you wanted to walk behind me!" She playfully pushed him with her hand and rolled her eyes. "I should have known you had an ulterior motive for that one."16

He threw his hands up innocently. "I am innocent until proven guilty." He laughed as he reached down, placing his hand on her back side. "You do have such a cute butt though." He then reached down, scooping her up into his arms. "I can get an even better view of your body this way." He laughed as he held her completely in his arms while kissing down her neck then to her breasts. Her giggles made him smile even more as he carried her down the steps and into the spacious kitchen.17

**************************************18

Sara glanced over at Alison and saw she was still asleep. Taking a deep breath she rolled over on her back and stared up at the ceiling. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying. All night long she had been back and forth awake; checking on Alison. Alison suddenly began to thrash around in bed, screaming the word no over and over. She woke up in a cold sweat, trembling from the events of the past night and sat up bolt right in bed. Sara quickly sat up and wrapped her arms tight around Alison, pulling her as close to her as she could while rubbing her back. 19

"I... I can still feel him... He... He is still... Inside me and..." Tears streamed down her face like a river as her entire body shook. "Make him stop... Please make him stop..." Alison covered her ears, as if to block out a sound only she could hear. "No... No... Please don't hurt me..." She tried to push Sara away as she began to loose it. "Don't touch me!"20

"Alison, sweetie it's me, Sara. He isn't here, oh baby I promise you he isn't here. It's only me..." Sara placed her hands on each side of Alison's face, making her focus and look directly at her. "Look at me honey, he's not here. You’re at my house, in my bed, safe with me and I am not going to let him near you ever again." She rocked Alison slowly in her arms, holding her tight against her to try and calm her down.21

"Sa.. Sa... Sara... I... Oh god I'm sorry I... I didn't mean to... I..." She hugged Sara tight as her tears dripped down on to her shoulders. "When I woke up I... It was like he was here and... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."22

"Shhh... Shhh... It's ok... I know honey... I know... You don't have to apologize to me." She held her tight and tenderly kissed her cheek. "It will take sometime but I will help you in anyway that I can to get past this. Do you want me to go get you something to drink? Eat? Anything? I can even have the finest breakfast croissants flew in all the way from Paris, just for you." She smiled at Alison, rubbing her hand down her face as she wiped her tears away.23

Alison managed to laugh a bit, "Paris? You have to be kidding me?"24

"Actually, no I wasn't." Sara laughed and smiled at Alison. "I'm serious, if you wanted it I would arrange for a flight to go get it, trust me I have the money and if it would put a smile on that gorgeous face of yours, then I would do it." She trailed her finger a long Alison's face.25

"All I need is you to put a smile on my face." Alison smiled at Sara as she took her hands in hers. "I keep trying to block what happened from my mind but... I just..." A frown passed over her bruised up face. "I keep asking myself why me? Why did he choose me?" She glanced over at Sara. "I have gone over every detail in my mind a million times over. How can I even go to work like this or even in public? Look at me, I'm a mess, I look like the bride of Frankenstein and I'm a complete basket case. It's like no matter what we're talking about I keep going right back to the memory of last night. How will I ever be me again? How?" She closed her eyes and leaned against the headboard of the bed.26

"First off, you're not going to work because there is no way that I am letting you out of my sight. You are staying right here with me today and I am going to give you the royal treatment." She ran her fingers through Alison's silky blond hair and kissed the tip of her nose. "Secondly, if I hear you put yourself down one more time like that I am going to go downstairs to my freezer, get some ice and drop every bit of it down your shirt!" Sara giggled when Alison opened her eyes wide and looked at her.27

"Are you crazy?" Alison giggled as she looked at Sara in shock. "You really wouldn't do that to me... Would you?" A look of uncertainty washed over her face as she raised an eyebrow and fixated her gaze on Sara's face.28

"Yes, I really would do that to you. Alison, I am sick of hearing you sit there and put yourself down like you keep doing. How many times do I have to tell you how beautiful you are before you will believe me? It doesn't matter to me if you have a few bruises or cuts, or that black eye, those will all go away and even if that cut on your forehead did happen to leave a scar it still won't matter because you will always be gorgeous." Sara ran her fingers through Alison's hair. "From the moment I first saw you I thought you looked like an angel and in my eyes, you are still that angel that I first laid eyes on. Everything about you is beautiful."29

She lifted Alison's hand to her lips and kissed her finger tips. "Your cute finger tips, silky blond hair that looks like strands of gold when it glitters in the sunlight, big blue eyes that would make any one's heart just melt by looking into them. A smile that could melt the coldest of hearts and most of all a personality that has without a doubt made me fall head over heels for you in a matter of weeks." Sara tangled her fingers in Alison's hair as she gazed into her eyes. "I care about you, more than you could ever even imagine and it kills me to see you putting yourself down because of what that prick did to you. I have magic and all you have to do is say the word, I will make this entire nightmare go away, erase everything. I know the books say not to use magic for personal gain, but technically that's not personal gain, it would just be me helping out a friend..."30

Tears filled Alison's eyes once more as she looked up at Sara. "Sara... No... I couldn't ask you to do that, something really bad could happen to you if you tried to use your magic to change the past and I don't want to see that happen to you." She took Sara's hands in hers, trying to get her words to come out right. "No one has ever... Ever said anything like that to me before I..." She then realized what else Sara had slipped up and said. "Wait a minute, you... you said fell for me? Does that mean what I think that it means?" She looked straight into Sara's eyes, trying to read her expression. "Are you saying that you... that you love me?"31
