Expiry: Never

  1. 1.
    >A gentle breeze caressed your cheek.
  2. 2.
    >The oak at your back and boughs up above groaned plaintively; peacefully against the wind.
  3. 3.
    >There you sat upon a rolling hill of vibrant green.
  4. 4.
    >A pink-orange hue hugged your panorama, warming the dark places of your world.
  5. 5.
    >You dug your toes into the grass; it was cool, soothing, cathartic.
  6. 6.
    >And below your eyes feasted, beholden to a vast expanse.
  7. 7.
    >A sea of golden wheat danced before you, a beatific ballet of refulgent amber.
  8. 8.
    >And beyond that - heaven.
  9. 9.
    >A glowing ember hung on the horizon, hiding drowsy half behind a distant snow capped mountain.
  10. 10.
    >The gentle blue sky was blushing; deep, calling reds burst forth and tapered out into a velvet yellow, engulfing the heavens in a lurid aurora.
  11. 11.
    >And then it graced your cheek.
  12. 12.
    >A pressure, a sensation.
  13. 13.
    >A familiar touch exclusive to this place.
  14. 14.
    >Moist.
  15. 15.
    >Tender.
  16. 16.
    >Loving.
  17. 17.
    >You lifted a hand to welcome the affected cheek, but before you could-
  18. 18.
    >You awoke.
  19. 19.
    >Your eyes, still filmed over in dream, flittered open.
  20. 20.
    >For a fleeting moment your landscape lingered, your ceiling acting as canvas.
  21. 21.
    >But the visage soon faded and your eyes saw your bedroom true.
  22. 22.
    >It would have been understandable for you to grow forlorn, wistfully wishing for your return to dreamscape.
  23. 23.
    >But you smiled.
  24. 24.
    >You need not dream.
  25. 25.
    >The tender moisture still tingled on your cheek.
  26. 26.
    >For you, reality was far more the dream than slumber could ever provide a man.
  27. 27.
    >And as you turned your head on the side of your marked cheek, it was left no wonder why.
  28. 28.
    >Turquoise gems beamed warm in greeting, fixed upon yours with the kind of tender welcome that somehow seemed new every single morning.
  29. 29.
    >Yellow streaked on a cascade of red silk that draped over her shoulders and came to rest on her pillow.
  30. 30.
    >And her lips-
  31. 31.
    >Those merciful petals that every morning bestowed your wake-up call-
  32. 32.
    >Turned in an affectionate smile.
  33. 33.
    >"Good morning, sleepy head."
  34. 34.
    >You grinned into your pillow at Sunset's customary greeting.
  35. 35.
    >Even after so long she always managed to make it seem fresh.
  36. 36.
    >Raising your hand from beneath the covers, you gentle brushed a lock of red from her face back behind her ear.
  37. 37.
    >She closed her eyes and slightly moved her hand against your touch.
  38. 38.
    "I was having a bad dream..."
  39. 39.
    >"Oh? What happened?"
  40. 40.
    "You weren't in it."
  41. 41.
    >You trailed a finger across her supple cheek down to her chin.
  42. 42.
    "This is much better."
  43. 43.
    >Sunset lifted her hand to meet your own.
  44. 44.
    >Grasping it warmly, she guided it to her chest, holding it soft yet firm to her.
  45. 45.
    >The beating of her heart rippled from your hand, echoing through your body.
  46. 46.
    >"You say that every morning."
  47. 47.
    >You shuffled in close to your love.
  48. 48.
    "And every morning it's true."
  49. 49.
    >Sunset's smile flared, affecting a rosy hue on her cheeks.
  50. 50.
    >You slipped your hand from Sunset's grasp and slid it behind her back, drawing her into you with the motion.
  51. 51.
    >Lips embraced as your bodies met, locking in sync, snug in the warmth of your bed.
  52. 52.
    >If only this, this very moment, could last forever.
  53. 53.
    >Both of you drew back in time and, eyes open, simply stared into one another.
  54. 54.
    >Being lost isn't always a bad thing.
  55. 55.
    >Sometimes lost is exactly what you want to be, comforting in the thought that you could linger on.
  56. 56.
    >And lost is what you both were in each other's eyes.
  57. 57.
    >At length you spoke.
  58. 58.
    "Let's not get up. Let's just stay here a little while longer."
  59. 59.
    >Sunset smiled and nodded her agreement.
  60. 60.
    >Working against the early morning, your love turned languidly, her back to you.
  61. 61.
    >In a heartbeat you pressed yourself against her, wrapping your arms around.
  62. 62.
    >You held her tight, delicately weaving your fingers in between hers against her stomach.
  63. 63.
    >Tight in your cuddle, you rested your head on the cusp of her flowing hair.
  64. 64.
    >Closing your eyes, you inched in closer.
  65. 65.
    >Shimmer's hair tickled your nose as you began to breath in the alluring scent of her highlighted mane.
  66. 66.
    >It wasn't an aroma of shampoos or conditioners that drew you in.
  67. 67.
    >There was simply something about Sunset herself that smelled wonderful to you.
  68. 68.
    >And that was the great thing about it - she didn't need anything to make you happier.
  69. 69.
    >That intrinsically, truly, you loved her for her.
  70. 70.
    "Mmm...I love you, Sunset."
  71. 71.
    >"I love you too, Anon. Now and forever."
  72. 72.
    >Rapturous sleep quickly reclaimed you.
  73. 73.
     
  74. 74.
    >When you awoke, you found yourself alone in bed.
  75. 75.
    >Mid-morning sun beamed through the window lifting your room in bright spirits.
  76. 76.
    >You sat up, stretched and yawned.
  77. 77.
    >Mind enclosed in a post-slumber fog, you aimlessly surveyed your room.
  78. 78.
    >Nothing out of the ordinary save for a tantalizing fragrance wafting in the air.
  79. 79.
    >It tickled your nose and riled your stomach.
  80. 80.
    >Your interest (and nose) piqued you lumbered to your feet and followed the scent outside of your room.
  81. 81.
    >Step by heavy step you walked down the hall and trod down the stairs.
  82. 82.
    >Your house was thick with the smells of cooking.
  83. 83.
    >Finally, your quest came to its end as you turned the corner into your kitchen.
  84. 84.
    >The room was a carnival of olfactory delights.
  85. 85.
    >Bacon, a pan still sizzling on the stove.
  86. 86.
    >Sausage, a platter of which sat beckoning on the table.
  87. 87.
    >Orange juice, freshly squeezed and weeping with condensation.
  88. 88.
    >Pancakes, cloyingly sweet alongside the scent of maple syrup, hung in the air and stood in a tower upon the table.
  89. 89.
    >And the piece de resistance: your amore, swathed in a fine white robe that emboldened her hair in contrast, center stage at the stove.
  90. 90.
    >Your eyes drank up the sight as she turned, a plate of bacon and eggs freshly hot in her hand.
  91. 91.
    >At the sight of you she pouted playfully.
  92. 92.
    >"Awe, now I can't say it. It only works if you're still in bed."
  93. 93.
    >Sunset gingerly placed the plate on the table.
  94. 94.
    "You could still say it, Sunbun."
  95. 95.
    >Shimmer slowly advanced on you as you stood in the doorway, her hips swaying deliberately with each step.
  96. 96.
    >"But it wouldn't be the same. You're already awake~."
  97. 97.
    >Sunset's robe, diaphanous and flowing, would hang idly from her if not for the cord at her waist.
  98. 98.
    >Yet it still betrayed the whisper of her body beneath, thinly veiled as they were.
  99. 99.
    >Her breasts, ample and unrestricted by undergarment, pressed curvacious and pert against the silk of her mantle.
  100. 100.
    >Legs, soft, supple, and lithe trailed on from the knee where the robe ended.
  101. 101.
    >God, you wished they could go on forever.
  102. 102.
    >Sunset must have been aware of your leer and cocked a coy smile, waiting for your response as she halted before you.
  103. 103.
    "Are you sure about that?"
  104. 104.
    >You stretched out a hand and placed it on her hip, gradually drawing her in to you.
  105. 105.
    "Because I swear this must be a dream."
  106. 106.
    >Shimmer placed her hands upon your chest and looked up at you, smiling coy and bright.
  107. 107.
    "Go on, say it. Wake me up."
  108. 108.
    >With a pleased giggle, Sunset gripped the lapels of your pajama shirt, rose on her tip-toes and cooed into your ear.
  109. 109.
    >"Wakey, wakey, Sunny made some eggs and bakey~."
  110. 110.
    >She fell back to her feet, her eyes fixed a beatific gaze to yours.
  111. 111.
    >It was you who broke it.
  112. 112.
    >An impulse came over you.
  113. 113.
    >You squeezed her hips with both hands.
  114. 114.
    >Quickly, you closed the gap between the two of you and planted another tender kiss upon those yearning lips.
  115. 115.
    >And yearning they must have indeed been.
  116. 116.
    >Roughly gripping your lapels once more Shimmer pushed off on her toes again, greedily taking as much of the kiss as her hunger demanded.
  117. 117.
    >Neither of you wished for it to end.
  118. 118.
    >But, perhaps, it dawned upon Shimmer that breakfast may soon be spoiled if not acted upon soon.
  119. 119.
    >She broke from you and patted your chest playfully.
  120. 120.
    >"You should save some of your appetite for breakfast, Love."
  121. 121.
    "Do I really have to?"
  122. 122.
    >Your lament was met with a coquettish "hmph" as Sunset turned away from you and crossed the kitchen.
  123. 123.
    >Pulling an open chair, she invited you to sit.
  124. 124.
    >As you walked forward to accept her invitation you could not help but bask in the sight before you.
  125. 125.
    >Morning sun cascading through the windows, washing the kitchen in an opaque orange glow.
  126. 126.
    >The air thick with the sweet aromas of a breakfast cooked with love.
  127. 127.
    >A kitchen table, quaint and picturesque, beleaguered by dishes and foods fit for a king.
  128. 128.
    >Yet made expressly for you.
  129. 129.
    >And the center of it all, ushering you in to a world that you once swore was unattainable, was your darling girl Sunset.
  130. 130.
    >You floated forward on a cloud of thankful wishes and disbelief.
  131. 131.
    >Taking your seat, you surveyed the spread before you covetously.
  132. 132.
    "Sunny...this is unbelievable. Seriously."
  133. 133.
    >Another giggled graced your ears as Sunset draped her arms over your shoulders, crossing them upon your chest.
  134. 134.
    >She nuzzled her head against your neck and planted a few fine kisses.
  135. 135.
    >"Do you like it, Hun? I made it extra special for you this morning."
  136. 136.
    >You looked around once more at your idyllic life and took a deep breath.
  137. 137.
    "It couldn't be any better, my Love."
  138. 138.
    >"Oh, I don't know about that~."
  139. 139.
    >You cocked an eyebrow.
  140. 140.
    "Oh? Why is that?"
  141. 141.
    >Your darling wife planted a few more preparatory kisses on your neck.
  142. 142.
    >"Because I have some news~."
  143. 143.
    >The rolling lilt of mystery in her voice affected a smile upon you.
  144. 144.
    >You reached your arms behind you, wrapping them around Sunset.
  145. 145.
    "And what would that be?"
  146. 146.
    >Another giggle.
  147. 147.
    >"Oh, let's just say that our company will soon become a crowd."
  148. 148.
    >You cocked your head slightly, trying to decipher her riddle.
  149. 149.
    >And then, like a rising sun's first peak over the horizon, it dawned on you.
  150. 150.
    >Butterflies fluttered madly in your stomach.
  151. 151.
    >A heat began to rise in you.
  152. 152.
    >You spun in your chair and looked intently at Sunset whose features could not express the full extent of her joy.
  153. 153.
    >You yourself were filled with an indescribable feeling of happiness.
  154. 154.
    >Excited, exuberant, you bolted up from your seat and scooped Sunset into your arms.
  155. 155.
    >There in the kitchen, in the light of the blossoming morning sun, you spun your wife around with you, here silken red and yellow hair dancing in the air.
  156. 156.
    >Laughter, full of joy, full of excitement, could be heard from houses down echoing from your kitchen.
  157. 157.
    >Placing Sunset back on her feet, you both drew into a longer, loving kiss.
  158. 158.
    >Breakfast was forgotten.
  159. 159.
    >It could wait.
  160. 160.
    >What mattered now was this very moment.
  161. 161.
    >What mattered, beyond everything else-
  162. 162.
    >Beyond the day to day grievances and petty troubles.
  163. 163.
    >Beyond the tedium of work and the stresses of life.
  164. 164.
    >Fundamentally, none of this mattered.
  165. 165.
    >What mattered, truly mattered, now and for always, was the girl in your arms.
  166. 166.
    >And the little one soon to come.
  167. 167.
     
  168. 168.
    >Life can be good if you make it so.
  169. 169.
