She slowly awoke.  The bed was so wonderfully comfortable that it
was almost sad that she had to abandon sleep, and so she tried to hold
onto it for as long as possible.  But eventually, her eyes slowly,
reflexively opened.

	Her lover was staring at her with gentle eyes.  "Good morning."

	She blinked.  She could have sworn that she had gone to bed with
her husband last night, and a quick look over her shoulder confirmed that
he was still sleeping on her other side.  So she turned back to look at
her lover and lifted her eyebrow.

	"It's a very cold morning," her lover explained softly, trying to
prolong her husband's rest as long as possible, "and it was cold in my
bed."

	"Oh," she said, hiding a smile.  "So you came to warm yourself in
our bed, then?"

	Her lover smiled in a sensual manner.  "I was hoping that you
would warm me, instead of your bed ..."

	She smiled then herself, a smile that would have surprised her
friends who still thought of her as an innocent, and slowly inched closely
to press against her lover.  "Feeling warm yet?" she breathed after a
moment.

	"Can't you feel me getting warm?" her lover asked.

	"I don't know if she can or not, but all I know is that it has
become rather chilly over here on *this* side of the bed," her husband
commented dryly.

	She looked back to see that he was staring at the two of them
curiously, and smiled her seductive smile at him, the one that always made
his eyes swell and his throat run dry.  "I can imagine ... so why don't
you come over here and be warm with two people who love you very much?"

	He gave the appearance of considering it for a moment, then smiled
a dangerous smile of his own, and moved to press himself against her and
caress her lover's body as well.

	She laughed, and began to kiss her way down her lover's chest.  He
let out a gasp when she brushed her lips against his erect nipple. 
"Daisuki, Hikaru," he whispered.  Then, "Daisuki, Lantis," as he kissed
her husband's mouth.

	"Daisuki, Eagle," her husband replied, before kissing back.

	As she reached her goal, she could feel their hands beginning to
play on her body, and she thought, <This is a wonderful way to wake up.>
