Adored In Somnolence

He curls up behind her,
His every curve,
Melting into her own.
The setting sun
Reflects from the lake
And dances across the ceiling
Like the aurora borealis
And they watch the display
In sleepy silence.
The temperature slowly drops.
He pulls the cover higher 
On her.
For the first time in her life, 
She feels safe.
His hand cups her breast, 
As she drifts to dreaming, 
With a tiny smile on her face.
He kisses her hair
And follows her.
Goodnight.

I'm going to write the manly equivalent of 'Siiiiiiighhhhhhhhh!', which is probably, 'Grrooaaannnnnnnnnnn!'.
