Lissa's Lover

"I care about you. Dana. I don't want to hurt you. You are beautiful and sweet, but I know I'm damaged." He cleared his throat again.  "I am flattered by your attraction for me. Maybe we shouldn't take this further."   Shane woke up and watched Dana sleeping. He was tempted to touch her face but didn't want to wake her. He rolled onto his right side and moved slowly to the edge of the bed to get off it.  As he sat up to rise to his feet, she stirred and opened her eyes. She smiled and stretched out her hand to touch his back. He turned around, leaned forward and kissed her hand while it rested on the bed. "Morning baby," he said with a smile. Dana smiled at him, her eyes inviting. He crawled to her and kissed her slowly. When he leaned back her eyes were closed. He touched her face. "Gonna take a shower, okay? "Okay," she replied with a whisper.
