Carmen smoothed her hands over Shanes shoulders, down to her lower back, pressing herself closer against her. Shane grinded her hips down, the friction sending bolts of pleasure through her entire body. Carmen moaned and uttered her name, encouraging her to increase the speed of her pace. She caught Shanes mouth with her own, parting her lips and inviting Shanes tongue to dance with hers. Their skin was getting moist of their sweat, and it felt nice, like they were melting together. Carmen wrapped her legs around Shanes slender waist, rocking her hips up to meet with each of Shanes trusts. In this moment, everything felt so new and yet so familiar, and Carmen didnt mind getting lost in the dazzling feeling of it all. She reached her hand up to smooth the dark strands of hair out of Shanes face, a warm smile playing out over her face as she looked deep into Shanes green eyes, the sight reminding her of the dream she had earlier this morning. I love you, she said, breathless. Shanes trembling fingers trailed slowly over her face, and Carmen kissed her fingertips sweetly when they drifted over her mouth. Shane buried her face in Carmens neck, moving harder against her. I love you too, she whispered huskily in her ear.

They had been sleeping for a few hours, and now they were resting peacefully in the aftermath of their lovemaking. Carmen rolled over and snuggled against Shanes side, humming appreciatively. Shanes hands made lazy circles on her back and she kissed her cheek. Ive missed you, Carmen said. Shane didnt answer and not knowing whether it was because she was too tired to speak or just didnt have an answer Carmen lifted her head up from the pillow to look at her face. She was surprised to find Shane staring back at her, with an almost hurt look in her eyes. Are you okay? Carmen asked worriedly, brushing her hand over Shanes cheek. Shane nodded and closed her eyes, chuckling self-consciously. Yeah, she said softly, I just.. You have no idea how much Ive missed you. Carmen looked at her with concern in her eyes, and she opened her mouth to say something but she didnt know what to say. Shane sighed softly and winded her arms around Carmens shoulders. Im sorry, Carmen finally said. Oh no, no.. dont be, Shane protested, Its just that.. I think its scary. Scary? Carmen asked. Yeah, Shane said softly and she licked her lips quickly. She dragged her eyes away from Carmens confused face and looked up at the ceiling, her hands sliding slowly down Carmens spine. I think its scary, that I am so.. lost without you. Carmen was quiet for awhile, not knowing whether to smile or to cry. She snuggled closer to Shane and rested her cheek on her shoulder. But Ive found you, she whispered lightly, close to her ear, her fingers running over Shanes bare chest. Shane smiled and suddenly turned the two of them over, lying on top of Carmen again. Yeah, you did, she nodded. Carmen looked at her and smiled. Shane looked truly happy and it made her heart feel impossibly tight in her chest, just the sight of it. Shane leaned in to nuzzle Carmens throat. Dont!, Carmen giggled, Ive been driving all night. I smell. Yeah so?, Shane chuckled, you smell good. You always do. Carmen laughed but pushed her back slightly, and shook her head. I need to take a shower, she said. Do you want me to run a bath for you? Shane asked. Oh, that would be great, Carmen said, smiling warmly. Shane nodded and kissed her forehead, before getting up. Thank you, baby, Carmen murmured contently. Shane smiled and threw her a wink over her shoulder, on her way to the bathroom.
