~~ Lasherette stirred slowly. An arm reached over beside her...he still was not home. Wearing a pout, Lash turned her head to face the table beside her bed. As she lay there, head on her pillow, her eyes caught a glimpse of something sparkling. Raising up on her elbow, was when she caught sight of Johnathan at the end of her bed, on the floor, meditating.
Slowly she crawled to the end of her bed. Peridot hues staring at him, full crimson lips wearing a sneaky smile. Reaching the end, she {ws} "Well....Welcome Home, Stranger." Intruding in on his thoughts breaking his meditation....he smiled and turned to look at her. He sent a swirling ball of bright light then, over her head spinning before it touched down atop of her head and vanished. Slowly rising to turn to her with a grin, he then takes a seat just in front of her and plants a kiss to her lips tenderly.

~Good Morning yourself Lovely...did you sleep well?~
She grabs ahold of him and pulls him back on the bed, and flips him,
straddling him. Smiling down at him, tucking her hair out of her sleepy eyes. So she can see him all the more ~Did I sleep well?!? No! I haven't since you left. I've missed you terribly.~ Her eyes
reflect her sincerity, as she first leans down and kisses him...
...sweet tender kisses, then longer deeper ones, her hands running down the sides of his face, then across his chest over and over.


He goes to reply, but he was quickly cut off by her kiss
and smiling, he envelopes her in his arms... stroking along her back and waist as she deepens the kiss, his tongue darting into her mouth playfighting with hers.
Before he brushed a hand along her ass, giving it a tender
but firm squeeze, smiling a bit impishly to that. ~Unfortunately Love, I was taken by the thing your people call the Nexus...it is extremely infuriating!~

Smiling down at him, she nodded. ~I figured it was something
like that, I didn't think you would just leave me with no word or anything.~ Her hues of peridot were staring into his, of soft brown. "Damn that Nexus, thank god you came back to me". She had moved her bottom back at forth on him more, as he squeezed at it.
~Of course love..I'm like a boomerang..I will always come
back...hmmmmm~ He moans a bit to her moving along him, his eyes lighting slightly, but slowly he stops her... smiling and looking over to the shinning necklace by her bed.

Moving off of him, she reached for the beautiful necklace on the table, she'd first noticed when she awoke. ~I was hoping you would see it first thing, when you woke this morning~, he signed. Lash looked over to him now as he sat beside her. "I did see it as soon as I awoke, then I saw YOU....and sorry Babe, not that I don't like nice things, I'd rather hold you first!" Staring into her eyes, he pulled her to him, and kissed her sweet and long. Breaking the kiss, he turned their attention back to the necklace. Lash held it up, then allowed the large detailed gem to rest in the palm of her hand. "What kind of stone is this?" ~It is made with Dragon's blood. And no...no dragon died for it. Around it...all those etchings...those are ancient runes. I made this for you myself. Every chance that I got, while you slept...And yes, I swore the staff to secrecy. I had it on me while I was swept up in the Nexus, and finished it. It's an amulet, Love. To protect you when I am not here, or if you need me for ANY reason and am not around. Just clasp the stone in your hand, and using mindspeak, call for me.~

Lasherette sat there staring at it. The detail was such delicate work, and the piece in itself was exquisite. ~Put it on.~ Johnathan told her. She handed it to him, then lifting her hair, and turning her back to him, she replied, "Put it on me, will you please?" His large but nimble fingers fastened the clasp easily about her neck. She touched the amulet to her chest, when he began kissing all along her neck. Tilting her head to the side she spoke {s} "I absolutely love it." As she closed her eyes, savoring his loving kisses along her neck, now moving to her jaw...then lips. Letting down her hair, she broke the kiss, and stared into his eyes. Taking his face in her hands, she spoke {s}, "Johnathan....I love it, I truly do...nearly as much as I love you." Seeing that look in her gorgeous peridot hues, of total love and devotion....he said not a word...he moved her hands away from his face. As he stood and signed. ~I have been far too long without my Love by my side. I vow never to leave you alone again, so long as it is within my own powers.~ Then his hands moved to his britches, and his soft brown hues never left hers. Moving to her, completely nude now....he reached out to her, and lifted her sheer babydoll nightie from the bottom....up. Tossing it at the foot of the bed. As she scooted back, staring at him.....he loomed over her, crawling up her curvaceous form. Leaning down, he kissed her along her neck, then spoke softly in her ear. "I dont believe that I can ever express how lost I felt without you....but I am going to have alot of fun trying." Lash could hear the smile in his voice, as she wrapped her arms about his shoulders....moaning sweetly at his precious kisses, a soft smile on her face. Truly happy for the first time, in a very, very long time.~~
