An Evening at Home
Rupert Giles comes home from the library not long after dark. He finds you wearing one of his Oxford shirts, asleep on top of the covers on the bed. Your hand barely holding open your place in the leather bound edition of Tennyson's Idles of the King. He takes off his glasses, coat, tie and shirt, kicks off his shoes, and climbs onto the bed.
Rupert lays down, spooning up behind you. He slides his arm around your waist, pulling you tighter to him and gently lays his cheek against your own.
You stir, realizing someone is now in the room with you. Being half-asleep, you call out, "Rupert?" Your voice is small and a little frightened.
"Shh," he whispers right in your ear, his warm breath sending a pleasant tingle down your neck. "I didn't mean to wake you, Love. Go back to sleep." His husky whisper accentuates his hypnotizing accent.
You roll onto your back, looking up into his eyes. He smiles down at you, brushing a stray hair from your cheek. You reach up and stroke his hair, cheek, lips, with your fingers. He captures your hand, kisses the palm and still wearing a smile, he leans forward and kisses your lips...
