This is a continuation to my story Catching Your Tears. I didn’t have plans to add any more than what I had, but was very surprised to see a good friend of mine do the other side of the story. I was honored beyond words!
I was listening to a song and heard this line.. ‘Safely In My Arms’ and felt it would fit right in.

I feel a wisp of hair brush lightly across my upper arm. I slightly open one eye to see a cascade of soft citrus smelling hair right in front of my face. I tighten my hold around your body snuggled next to me as I smile.

Last night will always be an unforgettable night. I found out that I was a fool for not having the courage to step forward and let the most important person in my life know how I felt. The time we have lost will never be captured, so I plan to make the rest of our lives become what writers write about.
After the kiss that rocked my world, we talked into the wee hours of the morning, each of us baring our souls to the other. I cried and laughed, but mostly I connected deeper to you. I didn’t want you too leave because I knew you were as tired as I was. I suggested you take my bed and I would sleep on the couch, but you just took my hand and guided me to my room.
I knew nothing was going to happen, but the thought of you in my bed with me in it scared the hell out of me. I nervously fidgeted with the button of my shirt looking at everything but you.
I shivered when I felt your finger tilt my head so I would look into your soul-filled eyes. You lean up and place a kiss on my cheek.
“I’ll go into the bathroom so you can get ready for bed. Mind if I borrow something to wear?” You asked me.
I pull out my favorite shirt and boxers and hand them to you. I steal a butterfly kiss before you turn and leave the room. “What a woman.” I whispered to the silent room.
I waited under the covers. My feet waved nervously back and forth. I cannot believe I’m about to fall asleep with the woman I love in my arm. That thought made my whole body tingle.
The click of the doorknob made me look over to where you stood with the light of the bathroom cascading over your body. Giving you an angelic look, I pulled back the bedspread and grinned. I know I looked like an idiot, but I really didn’t care.
You shuffled your bare feet across the carpet as you made your way over to the bed. You fiddled with the end of the shirt I gave you to wear as you sat down and swung your legs up onto the bed.
“Do you want a bigger pillow?” I asked as I watched you looking at the pillow.
“No, this is fine.” You lean over and place a long kiss on my lips. You pull back a bit before placing several small kisses along my cheek. You stopped and looked me straight in the eyes, “Goodnight, I love you.”
“Night,” I squeak out. “Love you too.” I watched you roll over on your side. I couldn’t help myself even if I wanted to. I lay on my side and snuggled up against your back, bringing my arm around your body to hold your hand. Your fingers entwined with mine and I felt you let out a long sigh. “Sweet dreams.”
I was scared to fall asleep. I was afraid of waking up and finding it was all a dream. Your soft caress against my arm silently put me to sleep.

I feel you move and I try to see if you are awake, but your eyes remain closed. I feel my heart jump from pure joy. All my life I have never felt this happy. Unable to stop myself I place a kiss on the top of your head and take a deep breath.
“Good morning,” I hear your sleep-laden voice say as you turn slightly in my arms.
“How did you sleep?” I ask as I brush several strands of hair out of your eyes.
“I was safely in your arms. So I slept like a baby.” You shift closer so you can kiss my lips.
“You will forever be safe in my arms.” I capture your lips in a searing kiss. “Always.”
The End
Stud,
Now I cannot even think of words to say. Words simply can’t do it justice for what you did.
So I will just say THANK YOU so very much for the friendship you have given me!! May all your dreams come true!
Love ya, you red ass baboon,
Princess
