| Eternal Love |
| Two days later and Nikita was still not responding to anything. It had been four days now and Michael had been given only a week to restore her to normalcy if there was such a thing inside Section. It was time for drastic measures Michael decided and drastic measures meant miracles and God was the only one granting those these days. Michael took out his rosary once more and proceeded to pray for her….the love of his life….the wife of his heart. ‘Dear Jesus’ he began. ‘If you will only bring her back I will ensure that she never doubts my love again for as long as she shall live. For when she dies I die. She is my life…my salvation. I need her. She is as necessary to me as breathing. I will love and cherish her like no woman has ever been.’ A lone teardrop ran down his cheek. ‘Lord, bring her back and I will marry her, even if it means the end of my life. Take my life but give her back hers’ All of a sudden Michael felt movement. He looked up quickly and there she was…his bright angel smiling down at him tears trailing down both of her cheeks steadily. “I would not live long without you my love,” she whispered. Michael framed her angelically beautiful face in the small of his hands and gently kissed her tears away before caressing her cheeks. She smiled and he rewarded her by bringing his lips to hers. Gently, teasing at first but the intensity and pressure of the kiss quickly changed. Nikita thrust her tongue into his mouth swirling it seductively around his in a mating dance that they both wished would never end. Minutes later they both pulled back for air but somehow Michael found the air to say: “I’m sorry love…so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I never want to do that” he whispered. “Its not any one of our individual faults” Nikita began “but its ‘OUR’ fault as a whole. We both have made mistakes but they can be corrected through our love’ she whispered as she reached up and caressed his cheek trying to suck the guilt out of him. He had too much guilt for past deeds already she didn’t want him to have it over this. “Are you hungry?” Michael asked remembering that she had not eaten in days. Nikita smiled deviously, “Yes….for you” she replied as she pulled him back onto the bed and into a deep kiss that make him forget where he was for a few seconds. He plundered her mouth with his tongue grinding his lips hard against hers not able to get enough of her. She was like sweet candy that he could never get enough of and she was his. All his to have for eternity. What had he done to get so lucky? Michael pulled back suddenly. “Kita, we shouldn’t…” he began. Nikita interrupted him sadly, “You don’t want me? Why am I not surprised? No one has ever wanted me. Not mama, not daddy, not Chris, and now not even you.” Michael looked into her eyes and noticed that she was getting that far away look again and that he needed to act quickly or he was going to lose her again. Nikita turned away from him swiftly and plopped down onto the bed to weep in her self pity alone. She was used to being alone. She had never had a real friend before Michael and she viewed him as much much more than a friend. He was a companion…a lover…her soul mate. Michael overcome with grief that she could believe such a thing turned her over to face him and quickly stooped down and claimed her mouth. The kiss was hard and passionate…one that said ‘you dare to accuse me of such a thing when I can do this’ They both pulled back long minutes later out of breath their eyes full of love for each other and their hearts spoke to one another without words. Their eyes relayed to each other what their mouths could not ever speak. Michael pulled her close to him and laid her on top of him needing her warmth and light. She laid her head over his heart listening to its rapid beat as it increased slightly with her laying on him. She smiled happily at the thought that she could do this to him. They both began drowsily to close their eyes and soon both were fast asleep in the other’s arms. Both relieved that they would live to fight another day…not only for the Section but for each other. They had a mission to complete and a new recruit to train….but they would do it together or not at all. Both smiled in their sleep as they joined their thoughts and dreams as one. |
