Love Rides a Chestnut Horse Ch. 01

"Isabella, I've – never felt like this. Not with anyone."

She slowly shakes her head. Smiling softly up at him, she whispered, "me either."

Gently he lifted his hips slowly, easing himself out and rolling over on his side. He pulled her close and looked deep into her eyes.

"Are you ok?" His concern was apparent in the way he examined her face.

She laughed softly, kissing his lips. "I'm more than ok."

She laid her head gently on his chest, sliding her arms around his waist. He wrapped his tightly around them after covering her naked back with the sheet. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, sighing happily. A glance toward the window showed him that day was quickly fading to night. He heard her breathing even out as she fell asleep on his chest, soon following her. As they slept, his arms never released the tight hold they had on her angelic form.
