Two peas in a pod

Why do I go on? Fear…. and first book signing…

Two peas in a pod

Charmeine and Tabbruis were in the Grand Hall while Dmitri, Neal, Thomas, Shane and Sandra were training for the battle on the field next to the castle.

Her head was pounding. She was thinking of what Hera’s ghostly apparition said to her during practice:
You must regard what I say now. Your mission to rid Earth of the Evil Elder Council must be carried out. When they have been destroyed, balance will come. Charmeine, you are the Queen of Light. You shall be a Holy instrument of God. He has appointed you to lead this family into battle. My time is almost gone. Charmeine will be all of our Salvation. She is a light of God!
Charmeine got up to talk to him and she became unsteady.
He saw the wobble and picked her up. He noticed she felt like jelly in his hands. She was exhausted. He whisked her off to their Master Suite and gently sat her down on the edge of the bed.
“Tabbruis, you have to stop using that superhuman speed of yours, it makes a girl dizzy.”
“You need sleep Charmeine. I will help you get ready for bed,” and started to take off her clothes.
She stopped his hand and timidly grinned. “Tabbruis I know you are going to think I’m crazy. Would you… just massage my back? I need to relax. Would you mind terribly?”

Tabbruis and Charmeine
She is shocked and he… is mesmorized!

“Not at all, my love,” he smiled with a sexy curl of his lips.
He finished undressing her, and she stretched out on the bed face down while her hands dangled over the side. He put a sheet over her body and a pillow under her chin. Opening up the terrace doors to let the sea breeze, he said, “Just relax now.”
She felt the sea breeze hit her face and was thankful. Then she smelled roses.
He began rubbing her back with the rose lotion she loved.
“That smells and feels like Heaven,” she sighed.
“Your Heaven?”

“Oh yes, my Heaven Tabbruis.”
“We must be neighbors, Charmeine, because this is part of my Heaven too.” He whispered in her ear, “Now relax my love. When you are rested my love, everything will come into focus. For right now, just feel at peace.” He kept on massaging her shoulders and could feel the tension. “Focus on being calm and breathe deep. I am here. I will be here always for you. Relax.”
He could not help himself from putting his hands on her. Her body was perfect. Slowly he rubbed her neck, shoulders, and back until she was completely relaxed.
She closed her eyes and began to relax.

Once he was done, Tabbruis laid her in the bed and turned off the lights. Moonlight illuminated the room in softness.
Sleepily, she muttered, “Tabbruis, I want to sleep in your arms feeling your skin against me.”
“I would like nothing better,” and with a wisp of a breeze, he was under the covers and patted his bare chest beckoning her to come to him.
“How can you always be this damn sexy Tabbruis?”
“You have no idea how sexy you are,” he said with a low growl.
She slid next to him and wrapped herself around his body with her head resting on his chest. When she heard his heartbeat, her eyelids became heavy and yawned, “Good thing we are married. We are two peas in a pod who love each other, Tabbruis.”

“Two peas who need each other, Charmeine.”
“Two peas in a pod who would die for each other…” and she drifted off to sleep.
Tabbruis’ heart fell.
She was saying in her sleep what had been on her mind all along. She was sure sacrificing herself was the only way to save her family.
“God, please help me protect her,” he prayed as his arms held her securely.
He saw the sweet smile on her lips, and it comforted him. He leaned down and kissed her. His eyes became heavy-hooded and closed them. As he held Charmeine tightly in his arms, Tabbruis drifted off to sleep.
