Salene and Ryan:Morning:Their Room

[_salene_]

The day had been long, so many things had happened, Salene could hardly remember it all as she headed upstairs from the hospital. Her right hand rubbed at the back of her neck, the tension in it so tight it was giving her a headache. She'd had enough of those lately, and she'd just wanted it to go away, completely forgetting to check if the Cafes

Mouse paused at the entrance to her room . Both her and Brady were still in their pjs, but would that matter if she was just going down to Salene's room? She thought it probably wouldn't, besides, they were comfy and she wasn't ready to get dressed. With a small smile, Mouse took off and followed Brady's form down the hall. She paused again at the doorway of Salene and Ryan's room. Mouse still felt a little weird about going in there with Ryan. Talking a breath, Mouse tiptoed in and looked around.

Both Ryan and Salene were still in and seemed to be sleeping. That didn't stop Mouse from crawling up on the bed next to Salene. Leaning over, she said in a not so quiet whisper, "Saaaaaaaaaalene..." Mouse raised her voice slightly, "it's morning." Just in case Salene was confused. "Brady and I are hungryyyyy." Mouse kneeled on the bed next to her and waited.

Brady giggled as she followed Mouse into the room, dropping Bear halfway through and taking a flying leap at the big bed, ending up on the opposite side of the bed from Mouse, next to Uncle Ryan. She watched Mouse then imitated her, "Unca Ryyyyyaaaaaaaaan," she began in a mostly whisper. "Wake up!" this time it was not quiet, it was a declaration, "Morning, awake time! Eat foooooooooooooooooood," she giggled and threw herself against him, rocking his hip, and, in effect, rocking Aunt Salene too. "Why you so sleepy?" she asked, flabbergasted, as if she'd never seen two people look so sleepy in all her life.

Jolted awake by the flying leaping alarm clock that was Brady, Ryan was startled, instantly on alert, his mind reeling with what could be wrong. It hit him, quickly, that it was nothing short of Brady being awake, and everything was ok. His heart, however, was pounding in his ears, through his neck, through his chest, it was not a nice way to wake up. He couldn't blame the mite, he really couldn't, she was four and little, and frankly he was really glad to know that she liked him, he'd been real worried about that when he'd first come back, but wow

[_salene_]

He jumped, in her arms, and this woke her up, fully alert, wondering what had happened, what was going on. Brady was right there, giggling about food, and then Salene realized Mouse was sitting behind her, over her shoulder. Ryan insisted that Brady go find her Mommy, and Salene pressed another kiss to Ryan's shoulder before letting him go. "Because her best friend's Mommy is in here," she reminded him, rolling over and looking at Mouse with a sleepy but happy smile

Salene waited until Mouse had left the room and run off a bit before she rolled over into Ryan, snuggling up close. "There we go," she said softly, inhaling the scent of him and losing herself in his presence. She didn't really have anything to "talk" about, she just wanted to spend quiet alone time with him, maybe find out what he had planned for the day, and just enjoy being with him in this moment.

After a few moments of relaxing in his embrace, Salene smiled and kissed his jaw, by his chin, "So what've you got planned for today? Surely you're going to do training since we've had to cancel it a couple of days in a row?" Her right hand came up and caressed his left cheek, playing with the earlobe there, trailing her fingers down his jaw to his warm neck. From there she let them trail down, over his collarbone, over his chest, pausing just...there, and waiting for his answer.

Ryan was tense as Salene rolled into him and snuggled close, if she had something to say to him, rules to lay down or something, he'd rather she just do it than try to butter him up and then do it. Only, she was touching his face, holding his earlobe, making light conversation, and then, "Ahhh, Sal, don't," he told her through a breathy mini groan. He wrapped his hand over hers lingering over his nipple and held it in his, smiling softly at the feeling of his hand practically encompassing hers.

"What do I have planned? I thought you wanted to talk," he told her with a confused glance, searching her face. He was so confused now, "I promise, Sal, no repeats of yesterday, no strangling anyone, no strong arming anyone, I promise to make things right and, and screw my head back on straight. I feel right bad about what happened yesterday, I swear," his eyes darted away, down to the comforter below, his mouth twitching in a nervous frown.

Her forehead instantly wrinkled with worry, what had she done wrong? Well she had touched him intimately but she thought they were in that place, what with being married again and everything! The realization came quickly, the look on his face, his promise to behave today, and she just felt her heart swell for him. "Oh Ryan, I just told Mouse I wanted to talk to you because she's 8, I can't exactly tell her to go on and check on breakfast because I want to ravage your body," she giggled at that and gave him a cheeky grin

[tribal_ryan]

Salene's tone had changed, and he finally looked at her face, blushing as she suggested telling Mouse indecent things about ravaging him. The grin on her face was all smirky, and he couldn't help but smile a teeny tiny bit, even if he was still confused. It all washed away as she comforted him, reassured him, he was such a lucky man to have her in his life, she was incredible. How could she forgive him for what he'd done? He couldn't even forgive himself for it, he felt like some strange being had invaded his body like in those old movies and he was possessed or something
