Chapter 18  Solace

In the first months of marriage, the Steeles experimented with a variety of sleeping arrangements-- from
holding hands across the bed, to sleeping back to back, to finding her sprawled across him.  Mostly
though, they spooned together somewhat with Laura on her back, Remington on his side and one of his
arms resting on her waist with her hand tucked in his.  She usually slipped her feet between his calves to
keep them warm throughout the night.

That is how they found themselves the next morning.  Remington blew a strand of Laura’s long hair out
of his mouth and laid a kiss on the back of her neck without thinking.  She turned her face toward him
without opening her eyes and laced her fingers with his.

Both were in the midst of a waking dream where fingers trailed, lips pressed to heated skin and ardor
roused.  Neither of them woke fully as they reveled in the sensations.  And when Remington slipped
inside his beloved Laura, his soul found solace in her utter surrender to him.
