LYRA*Dr. Wise started my physical therapy the morning after I had woken up from the coma, and the last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. At first, my muscles were weak, and Dr. Wise tried to get me to take painkillers and muscle relaxers, but I wouldn't take them. I know how it goes with pain medication; it's so easy for someone to get addicted to them. Half of the time, I wouldn't take anything at all. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I would take some Tylenol or Advil.Now, after two weeks, I have made it up to three-pound weights, and my muscles have strengthened enough in my legs so that I can walk some.Dr. Wise and I were now on a first-name basis and have become good friends. I am attracted to Jared, but he insisted that we be nothing more than just friends. If Jared were to have a relationship with one of his patients, he could get suspended or fired. I insisted that I would be going home in two weeks, and then I wouldn't be his patient any longer. Still, here we
LYRA*I was standing there trying to answer all of Jace's Aunts' questions. I have met so many new faces I couldn't seem to remember her name. She seemed like a great person, but I would like to move further from the door. Vega and I hadn't gotten very far when people started coming up to us and introducing themselves.All of Jace's cousins were fine as hell; my goodness. Jace's Aunt kept rattling on until a man walked up, telling her maybe I needed to sit down. Then he looked over at me, and I almost died. The man from my dreams was standing before me. I pinched myself, hoping this wasn't a dream.He gaped at me, his bright sapphire eyes wide. My eyes probably looked as if they were about to pop out; I couldn't do anything but stare at him; I didn't know what to say. Jace's Aunt was looking back and forth between us with a confused expression on her face.Thank God for Vega, who stepped in, "Lyra, this is Blaze, Jace's cousin. Blaze, this is my sister Lyra," Vega said with a massive
LYRA*Blaze walked out, and all I could do was sit there. I couldn't move or blink or anything. I stared at the door hoping Blaze would come back. Blaze is my soulmate. I knew the instant we kissed. The tingling sensation, the sparks, and flashes of light consumed me. Why in the world did I tell him to move on; I must be crazy? That's when my thoughts turned to Jared. I closed my eyes and brought myself back to the real world. I got up from my bed and made my way to Jared.The pizza had arrived; Jared was eating the hamburger Blaze had made me, which upset me slightly. I'm guessing that because my hamburger was gone. Blaze had made my hamburger perfectly as if he knew how I would like it.I grabbed a paper plate and filled it with chips and some salsa. Then I grabbed another paper plate and got myself four pieces of pizza. I looked over to see Blaze and Tanner grabbing some beers from the fridge. Blaze glanced over at Jared and then at me. A flash of annoyance crossed his face. Then h
BLAZE*"A dream I had about you and me a couple of months ago," I said, and Lyra gasped next to me."You, you had a dream about us," Lyra asked, and she sat up, with surprise written all over her face."I call it a dream, but it was so vivid, and it felt so real. Researchers call it lucid dreaming, I think. I'm so glad that you are back. I've been working myself to the bone to keep from going nuts," I said."I had a dream about us as well. I wonder if it was the same dream for us both. That would be so strange. What would it mean?" Lyra asked me."Lyra, come on; you and Blaze can flirt later," Vega hollered out just when I was about to reply to Lyra."Let me get a beer, and I'll be right there," Lyra said as she shrugged her shoulders at me and got up from the loveseat."Go ahead, and I'll grab a beer for you," I said to Lyra as I got up and started making my way to the kitchen.There were three different types of beer in the refrigerator, and I hadn't asked Lyra what she would like.
LYRA*Blaze kissed each one of my aching ribs. Each kiss gave healing to the pain, and with each kiss, my pain started to disintegrate as if it were never there in the first place.When Blaze finished working his magic over my ribs, he positioned himself between my legs and brought me into another passionate kiss. Blaze's pants rub gently along my panties, and heat radiates through my core. I could feel my panties becoming wet, in need of him.Blaze sat up for a moment and began to undress. I sat up and grazed my fingertips along his muscular chest until I reached his pants. I unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, and he stood so that he could pull his pants and underwear off.The light to my room was still on, so I could see every detail of his lean, muscular body. His eight-inch shaft stood at attention, beckoning me. Blaze's muscles were more defined than I remembered. His hair and chin stubble had grown out longer as if he hadn't taken the time to get a trim. His black hair brought o
BLAZE*I woke up to Lyra on top of me, hugging me like a koala bear and snoring lightly in my ear. I must be a heavy sleeper because, for the life of me, I don't know how I slept through this. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.I wished I could reach for my phone; I would take a picture, but my phone was in my jeans pocket on the floor, and I didn't want to wake Lyra up. I looked over to the window to see the sun had come up and shone through the blinds.I needed to go to the bathroom, and Lyra was just an inch away from my morning wood. About the time tried to figure out a way of moving her without her waking up, Lyra mumbled something into my ear incoherently.Then she rolled over onto her right side, her head lying on my arm. The covers had been thrown off in the night so the sheets wouldn't get in the way. I slowly moved my arm and gently put my other hand under Lyra's cheek. Then I placed her head down on the bed.I somehow managed to get up without waking Lyra.
BLAZE*I glanced at my phone to see that it was nine o'clock, time to wake Lyra up and into that luxurious bathtub of hers. After that dream and Lyra being in the coma, I never thought something like lying here next to Lyra would ever be conceivable.God has a purpose for everything, though we may not understand what's going on at the moment. I slowly moved Lyra's hair from around her face and slung it over her shoulder. I kissed and nuzzled Lyra's neck with my nose. Lyra stirred beside me, lifting her head to give me better access."Lyra, love, I'm going to draw us a bath. Then I would like to take you out for a late breakfast if that sounds good to you?" I asked Lyra quietly."Mmm, steak and eggs sound good to me," Lyra murmured.I crawled out of bed and made my way to Lyra's restroom. I could remember everything I wanted to do with Lyra in here. Like washing and massaging her tense muscles and making love to Lyra in the shower. When I walked into her restroom during the dream, I th
BLAZE*This month has been fantastic since Lyra, and I connected. We learned early on that we didn't want to be separated. Within a week, Lyra had asked me to move in with her. It's an incredible feeling falling asleep and waking up to Lyra in my arms every morning. I make sure to be home every night by six o'clock, no longer working at all hours of the night.Lyra and I take turns cooking dinner every other night with Jace and Vega, and we all sit down at the table and enjoy each other's company. All of the guys are ecstatic that I'm no longer an uptight ass hole. Church two weeks ago, Lyra and Jace went to the altar and got saved. So many incredible things have happened this month.We had Thanksgiving at my parent's house. My mother adored Lyra and was happy to spend longer than ten minutes with her. My mom was so happy for me to have finally met my soulmate. I got to know Lyra's parents better since they happened to be there. Lyra's parents drop by twice a week for dinner, and that
