Good Morning Beautiful

The first stirring chords of the song drifted through the room and caused Sarah to open her eyes. The music floated over her body and she smiled, stretching as she rolled onto her back. The words began and she laughed.

Good Morning, Beautiful
How was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
When I open my eyes to see your sweet face,
it's a good morning, beautiful day!

She ran her fingers through her brown hair, fanning it out against the storm gray of the pillowcase. She knew Michael was watching her, probably from across the room. She used her other hand to push the comforter to the edge of the bed. She lay there in the red silk negligee he'd bought her for their last anniversary. Her long legs stretched out before her, toes pointed. The next words were ones that he quoted to her often.

I couldn't see the light
Didn't know day from night
I had no reason to care
But since you came along
I can face the dawn,
'Cause I know you'll be there.

It was sweet, waking this way, knowing that the first thought on his mind was her. This was her thought. And she rolled over to look at him standing in the doorway. He leaned against the doorjamb, his black lounging pants riding low on his hips. As the next verse started, she held her hand out to him.

I never worry if it's raining outside
'Cause in here with you, girl
The sun always shines!

"Good morning beautiful," he whispered as he slid into the bed next to her, his hand caressing her cheek as his lips found hers. It was a sweet kiss, started out soft, exploring, but then it changed. The music crescendo caused his hand to slip into her hair, holding her as his mouth began to plunder hers.

Good Morning, Beautiful
How was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
When I open my eyes to see your sweet face,
it's a good morning, beautiful day!

Her hands stroked over the smooth muscles of his back and she kissed him back, pressing against him, holding him tight to her. When he pulled back, she smiled up at him. "I love you, Michael." He smiled back. "I know." His kisses continued across her cheek and then down the smooth column of her neck. He lingered for a moment at the base of her neck, with her head thrown back he could feel her heartbeat pulsing there.

Yeah, Good Morning Beautiful Day...Good Morning Beautiful...
It's a beautiful day...Good Morning Beautiful...Good morning...Good Morning Beautiful..
What a beautiful day...Good Morning Beautiful!

The sun streamed in through the sheer curtains bathing the lovers in a pool of golden light. Clothes were discarded as lovers united in a dance as old as time. The sun rose higher and higher and the song continued to play on repeat in the background, a wonderful setting for their intimate moments.
