Laurel's P.O.V

Laurel shifted slightly in bed as she thought about the day.

She'd been laying there for hours, terrifying scenes kept flashing through her head; David cutting the trolls down like corn, the doors closing realising Katya was trapped on the other side, Tamani poisoned, Klea refusing her help.

But also the good; Yasmine and Jamison's plan that meant hope for Avalon, Tamani…

She smiled softly, thinking about him.

Suddenly the bed shifted slightly and her breath caught in her throat. Klea was gone what could be in her room, she'd thought she was safe that for awhile at least she could be normal… or as normal as a faerie could be.

She opened her eyes a crack and almost laughed out loud.

The thing that had scared her was Tamani.

She watched him watching her, perched on the edge of her bed, he obviously thought that she was asleep. He reached forward and stroked her face gently, he smiled as she said "Didn't your mother ever tell you it was rude to stare?"

He slipped off the bed. She smiled, pushing herself up on her arms, she stopped as he started pulling the window open "Where're you going?" she asked confused.

"I just meant to check you were safe, I didn't mean to wake you." He whispered.

Suddenly she felt desperate, she didn't want to be left alone with her memories. She grabbed his arm reflexively, pulling him away from the window, but she caught him off balance and he fell on top of her sprawled across the bed. He rolled off her leaning up on his elbow. "Sorry!" she gasped. "I just didn't want you leaving."

He smiled at that, tucking her hair behind her ear. "Oh did you think the best way to stop me leaving was to attack me?"

"I didn't attack you." She spluttered. "I…"

He stopped her with a kiss one hand trailing down to her waist, the other cupping her neck. She smiled into the kiss, pulling him towards her, tangling her hand his hair, felt him shift lying back on the bed and pulling her on top of him. She gasped as some air escaped her lungs, lips parting slightly. Tamani grinned deepening the kiss, pulling away slightly she nibbled on his lower lip, grinning as he tried to bite back the moan that escaped his lips.

They separated slightly their chests still touching and Laurel smiled. She looked down at him, studying his face, he frowned. "I didn't wake you did I?" he asked.

"No." she sighed. "I couldn't sleep, everything that happened today kept playing over and over."

He nodded, his face understanding. He'd clearly had the same problem. She looked up meeting his eyes, he was already gazing at her face his expression soft. "Stay please?" she asked.

He nodded settling down next to her as she snuggled against his side.
