beneath his hand. The television can be used for more than cheesy romances and reality shows.
Cheesy? His vernacular was still sometimes unfamiliar, but she could tell the term was derogatory
from the way he said it. I like romances and people making over their homes and gardens and clothes and
lives.
Joel leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth. You ve done an amazing job of that yourself.
You ve adjusted to losing your family and the life you knew. You ve got us living in a real home instead of
a generic apartment. You ve tackled school and volunteering at the hospital. And you ve completely made
me over too.

He jerked his thumb at the file on the floor. See, I can put work aside and it doesn t bother me in the
least. With that he slipped his hand around her nape and drew her in for something more than a peck on
the lips.
Although Aurora cooperated with enthusiasm, winding her tongue around his and pressing close to
him, she couldn t resist teasing. Drawing her mouth free after a few moments, she said, Ah but this is
different. This is work for the people, not just making money. I don t want you to stop doing that.
Slave driver, he said, sweeping his hand up under her skirt. Everyone s entitled to an hour off.
Joel, she gasped, undulating as his hand slid over her thighs and bottom. I do like being with you.
Good, he said, rather indistinctly since his mouth was buried in her neck, nipping and licking.
But do you think we re doing the right thing?
He lifted his head, a faint frown between his warm, clouded eyes. Making love?
She smiled, kissing his mouth. Oh no, I know that s the right thing. I mean you taking the slow,
democratic route into politics, and me studying arts before I go into medicine. I worry sometimes that it s
all taking too long.
You re desperate to live, he said, stroking her hair. I like that in you. But I think if we re to save
the world, we have to learn enough to make the right decisions. And have fun.
I hoped you d say that. She shifted in his arms to straddle him, then wriggled back so that she could
unfasten his trousers more easily. It seems more worthwhile, more necessary somehow, if the decisions
are ours, rather than some preordained events that we have no control over. It s the same with us, she
added as he impatiently brushed her hands aside to free his already fully erect cock from his unfastened
jeans and underpants. I had this feeling that we should be together, from the beginning, when you first
wakened me.
I wish I d kissed you, he said ruefully, gently massaging her hips before pulling aside her panties.
Instead of shaking you as if you were some homeless person inconveniently asleep on my doorstep.
You kissed me later, she remembered. That s when I really knew. She raised herself up, looking
deep into his eyes as he held his cock steady for her, and lowered herself onto him with a long, slow sigh.
You feel so good inside me, Joel& I wanted us to be together. I wanted us to be meant& And now all I
can remember is my fairy godmother telling me I d made the best decision of my life in choosing you.
She began to move on him, in slow, sensual circles. And if I hadn t, if I d been too stuck-up to
recognize love for someone so different from the men I d known before& oh Joel, what if we d never come
together?
He thrust up inside her, making her gasp as the pleasure soared. He reached under her top, finding and
caressing her breasts. You got under my skin. I d have found you again. But it doesn t matter, does it? We
are together, and nothing, either human or magical, can break us apart.

Awakening Beauty
She put her arms around his neck and bent her head to kiss him. They moved slowly, sweetly, without
urgency now that their bodies knew each other so well. And yet to Aurora it always felt new, always
different. This time was like an affirmation, about the sheer emotion of loving him rather than the physical
ecstasy they could achieve. Not that she rejected the pleasure. Indeed, she accepted it, helped drive it
onward, writhing, rising and falling on his cock, and lapping up his groans of delight. Sensing her mood, he
kept it slow, even at the end when she knew his urge was to pound into her. Instead, he stroked her clitoris
with his clever, sensitive fingers, while pushing rhythmically inside her. He watched with hot, triumphant
eyes as she fell over the edge into bliss. And even then, trembling with his own need, he kept the slow pace,
holding her there until he came too with a long, deep groan that seemed to fill her soul.
As her heart slowly quieted, and she lay on his chest, listening to the strong, still wild beats of his, she
knew that this was the time.
Joel?
Mmm. She could tell, just from his tone that his eyes were closed, that he was half-falling into post-
coital slumber.
We never used protection. Ever.
I know. The smile was in his voice again, making her smile back as she lifted one lethargic hand to
stroke his chest, rubbing her finger over his nipple. He was always amused when she picked up modern
phrases or concepts. It doesn t matter now we re together, but at the beginning, it used to eat me up with
guilt. I m a controlled man at least I used to be but I could never wait to screw you. Part of me even
liked the risk.
As if you wanted to impregnate me?
Maybe. Maybe I knew I d never let you go.
So you d be happy if we had a baby?
Somewhat belatedly, Joel appeared to pick up on where this was going. His hand in her hair drew her
head up so that he could look into her face. You want to have a baby? While you re still studying?
Would you mind?
Mind? Of course not!
Good, Aurora said with relief. Because we are.
She sat up, pushing her tangled hair out of her eyes. Joel stared up at her in bemused wonder, fear and
joy chasing each other across his face. She took a deep breath. And I m sorry if you don t like this, but I
