Sacrifice . . . from ACCENDO 3rd novel in “The Light-Bearer Series” by Author Emily Guido

Tabbruis began to rub Charmeine’s back with the rose lotion she loved.

“That smells and feels like Heaven,” she sighed.

“Your Heaven?”

“Oh yes, my Heaven, Tabbruis.”

“We must be neighbors, Charmeine, because this is part of my Heaven too.” He whispered in her ear, “Now relax my love.  When you are rested, everything will come into focus. For right now, just feel at peace.” He kept on massaging her shoulders and could feel the tension. “Focus on being calm and breathe deep. I am here. I will be here always for you. Relax.”  He could not help himself from putting his hands on her.  Her body was perfect. Slowly he rubbed her neck, shoulders, and back until she was completely relaxed.

She closed her eyes and began to unwind.

Once he was done, Tabbruis laid her in the bed and turned off the lights. Moonlight illuminated the room in softness.

“Tabbruis, I want to sleep in your arms feeling your skin against me.” She yawned.

“I would like nothing better,” and with a wisp of a breeze, he was under the covers and patted his bare chest beckoning her to come to him.

“How can you always be this damn sexy, Tabbruis?”

“You have no idea how sexy you are,” he said with a low growl.

She slid next to him and wrapped herself around his body with her head resting on his chest. When she heard his heartbeat, her eyelids became heavy and yawned, “Good thing we are married. We are two peas in a pod who love each other, Tabbruis.”

“Two peas who need each other, Charmeine.”

“Two peas in a pod who would die for each other…” and she drifted off to sleep.

Tabbruis’ heart fell. 

She was saying in her sleep what had been on her mind all along. She was sure sacrificing herself was the only way to save her family.

Tabbruis would never let that happen to his beloved, Charmeine.
