I wake up slowly. I come to the awareness of your warm form next to me, curled in my arm gently sleeping. The fire has died down and while you are on the warm fire side, I feel the cool air of the room slipping against me. I turn to you and gently kiss your forehead and pull you closer. You stir and begin to awaken. I reach around and find our robes laying on the floor. I pull them over and spread them over you like a blanket. You wake up and look at me. Your hair is like a glowing halo spread out behind you, glinting in the low light of the fire and candles. I see your eyes smile as much as your mouth does. I kiss those luscious lips and slowly disengage myself laying you gently down on a pillow I have snagged from the couch. I rise and stride over to the fire grabbing a few split pieces of wood and putting them on the fire. A few pokes and it springs back up crackling with heat. You smile at my naked form framed by the fire. I rise and return to you.
"I am cold and need to be warmed up," I say as I kneel next to you on the floor.
"And you may need to be cleaned up a bit" I say as I lean down and kiss you.
"Let me take care of you," I say as I move down your body to your feet.
