Nikita felt a deep, heavy sense of stillness within her. It felt like a warm spreading of peace originating from that blessedly dreamless sleep. Dreamless?

Her consciousness woke and froze.

She felt a hardness at the cleft of her bottom and she reacted instantly.

Michael woke when his body told his mind that he had no air. His eyes popped open to Nikita above him, her eyes flashing with a deeply disturbing mixture of hatred and terror. She was planted on his chest, very effectively immobilizing him, her hands wrapped tightly around his windpipe.

Some reality of her processing settled into him, and told him not to react instinctively, but with patience.

She tightened her hold, her eyes flicking from her hands to his gentle gaze. Confusion passed over her features briefly.

She sprang from the bed like he was on fire, and landed some distance away, watching him warily for a moment. Then, looking down to where she had lain all night, she shook her head and swallowed. She placed her hands on her hips and regained her breath.

Michael hadn’t moved except to watch her. He carefully kept his concern from his face, and rolled to sit up slowly.

Nikita watched him for a moment, then shook her head again and closed her eyes. In an instant she had regained herself.

She stood tall and looked evenly at him. “I’m sorry.”

He opted for humour. “Good morning.”

She took the opportunity and chuckled softly, “Good morning.”

With careful ease, he stood and ran a hand through his hair. “Hungry?”

“Starving.”
