Sleeping Beauty

Marie.  She has been so great in betaing for me.  THANK YOU!

*********************************************************************

Justin suddenly jolts out of his sleep with a gasp. He sits upright in bed, trying to catch his breath. His lungs are rapidly trying to take in the much needed air to no avail. His pulse is racing as a cold sweat breaks out over his body.

Another one.

He sometimes has these dreams. He sees a face, Brian's face. He's pretty sure of it by now. It is coming towards him. He is standing still, watching Brian approach with a beautiful smile in place. He can see love in the man's hazel eyes and he knows it's meant for him.

Then, suddenly his lover ceases his approach. His face slowly loses the look of joy and turns to one of fear. Justin tries to reach out to the man, now only a few feet away, to let him know that it is okay to proceed. He wants to bring back that look of love on Brian's face that made Justin feel warm and safe. But he can't reach him.

Brian's beautiful face starts to change and begins to morph into a face that is not welcoming or loving. It is a face of hate and evil. It is the face of Chris Hobbs.

Justin tries to retreat, to move backwards and place distance between himself and the approaching man, but he is unable to move. The transformation of Brian's loving face into the torturing face of Chris is complete and Justin can no longer see the beautiful eyes of his lover, only the hateful eyes of his attacker.

He knows the first face, that of his lover, would never hurt him. But this new face, the one that is slowly and torturously moving closer means to cause him pain. He can't move away and his panic grows as the distance narrows. Justin's breathing becomes labored and his heart is pounding in his chest, fearful that it may burst through as he continues to be rooted to the spot. He can only watch as danger creeps up on him.

He feels more than sees a hand begin to reach for him and he knows that it is meant to cause him harm. He wants to call out for the hand to stop, but no sound comes out and he knows it's still coming towards him. To hurt him. His panic grows as the hand comes in view now, within striking distance, and the eyes of the face before him burn into him with hate. He jolts awake.

The panic is still coursing through his body and mind, causing his heart to race and chest to heave with every breath. Slowly, his surroundings come into focus and he realizes where he is. There is no face with hateful burning eyes in front of him. No hand reaching out to hurt him. He is safe in his bed, in his home. It was just another nightmare.

Only this time, the face got closer and the hand almost reached him. What would happen next time? Would the evil devour him? He can only hope, with slowly deteriorating optimism, that there won't be a next time. He knows he says this little mantra to himself after every nightmare. But maybe this time it'll come true.

His nerves start to calm, the labored breathing slowly returning to a normal tempo as he sits in bed, coming back to reality. His lover sleeps soundly beside him unaware of his partner's turmoil. Maybe his outburst wasn't as bad this time.

It's still deep into the night and the loft is mostly darkened, with shadows cast upon it from the outside streetlamps. The only inside illumination comes from the glow of the blue lights hung over their bed. They cast a hazy glow on the sleeping man.

Justin turns further to study the face of his lover that was so out of reach in his dream, but now easily attainable. The peace that sleep affords him can be seen on his face. The lack of walls and barriers are evident. Many people comment on Brian's beauty. His flawless features affect both men and women alike. But to see him during sleep, a privilege that few can boast of, is to truly witness his beauty. He is a true 'Sleeping Beauty'.

Brian's features are soft and inviting. His breath is slow and easy, escaping his slightly open mouth in little puffs. Justin is mesmerized. He knows that Brian watches him sleep occasionally. He can feel the older man's eyes on him some nights, even in his state of sleep. He doesn't mind though and takes pleasure in those moments, knowing that Brian has the need to watch him. Feeling free from judgment, Brian allows his walls temporarily down, to gaze upon his lover, much as Justin is doing now. It's moments like those, when love shines from Brian directly upon Justin as he sleeps, that keeps Justin grounded. It allows the younger man to make it through the more trying times in their relationship.

Justin continues to watch the sleeping figure and it calms him. His nightmare is almost forgotten now. Brian's easy presence brings him back to reality, a reality in which Chris Hobbs no longer exists. He is not a threat or concern for fear. That was taken care of a while ago by the conviction and jail sentence received for Justin's bashing.

Completely at ease now, Justin's eyes travel past his lover's sleeping face and move downwards. In his sleep, Brian has pushed the covers down his back and they lay at the top of his thighs. He is void of clothes, just as Justin is. Their usual choice of sleep attire. Brian's strong shoulders and back and firm ass are completely exposed.

Justin's breath can't help but slightly quicken as he gazes over his sleeping lover's lean body. The man is breathtaking. Brian shifts slightly in his sleep and the younger man can see the well defined muscles of his back move as his body readjusts its position. Brian is unaware of the eyes watching him move.

Relaxed again, the older man has turned his head now facing away from him. He has left Justin with the view of his silky, dark hair. Loving the feel of the hair before him, Justin's hand reaches out of its own will and touches the strands softly as not to wake him. His fingers slide into the hair and weave themselves in. Justin can feel his breath hitch in his chest with this sensual touch. He laughs to himself quietly at the knowledge that just a look or slight touch of his lover's hair can get him going. Justin can feel the tingling in his groin increase with each pass of his fingers.

As Brian hasn't awakened from his touch, Justin decides to push his luck a little further. His eyes move down to his lover's strong shoulders and with a mind of their own, his fingers follow. He brushes them lightly across the broadness. The shoulders are hard and well toned. His fingers sweep across and move downwards along his back where the strength of Brian's form continues.

Justin loves to watch Brian move. When he is naked or just shirtless, the simplest of moves can make the muscles in his well-defined back dance. Shifting lengthways or side to side. Moving to a silent song. It is captivating. Justin's hands and fingers continue their journey along Brian's back and reach the top of his ass. Brian jokes at how Justin has enough ass for the both of them. This is always followed with a squeeze of the younger man's endowment. Brian's ass, though flatter and less prominent than his younger lover's, is still quite inviting. It's firm and toned the same as the rest of his delicious body.

Brian's body is still unaware of the attention being paid to it as he continues to sleep. Justin's is not. The erection that has grown between his legs as he sits touching his lover has gotten his attention. He could easily leave his current position and go into the bathroom and take care of the problem, but he has a better idea.

The younger man lies down facing his lover, his elbow on the bed supporting his raised head. Brian's head is still turned away from him so he continues to play with his hair, increasing the pressure with the hope it will cause the older man to stir. His efforts are rewarded as Brian shifts again and turns his face in Justin's direction. His breathing is still even so he must not feel this intrusion in his sleep.

Justin, now face to face with his lover, can focus better on his task. He runs his thumb across Brian's cheek with a loving caress. He continues towards the beautiful full lips and his thumb brushes across them. Brian's mouth, maybe sensing the intrusion or just from a natural reaction, brings his tongue out to lick at his lips and catches the tip of Justin's thumb. The wet tongue sends a jolt of electricity straight from his thumb to his cock. Justin gasps at the surprise contact and watches as the tip of his lover's tongue retreats back into its cavern.

Justin's eyes start to glaze over with lust as he focuses back on his lover. He strains to tear his eyes away from that delicious mouth. He knows he wants MORE. He decides to push it even further and leans into Brian's personal space, drawing his mouth closer to its goal - those raspberry colored sensual lips. Slowly inching forward, blue eyes fixed on its target, Justin's lips reach out and make contact. He gives one of his sweetest kisses. He pulls his face back slightly, his breathing deepening as he feels the heat spread through his body from that one single kiss. He decides to temp it again. Justin leans forward to his still sleeping lover again, lips ready to taste, but this time he can't be so gentle. He makes contact with the desired flesh more firmly this time, pressing his lips against them. The desire is so strong that before he pulls away he has to suck on his lover's plump bottom lip, pulling it with him as he retreats.

The tingles in his groin are now pulsing and he feels a trickle of fluid leak from the tip of his fully hardened dick. Caught off guard for a moment by the strong sensations in his body, he closes his eyes and gasps, letting go of Brian's lower lip. He pulls back slightly, eyes still shut, and tries to ride out the wave of pleasure. His composure starts to return and he opens his eyes again, attempting to re-focus on his lover's face before him.

Justin sees that Brian is stirring and beginning to open his sleep-laden eyes. The older man blinks rapidly, trying to gain focus in the dimly lit room. He sees Justin's face before him, cast in a blue hue from the lights above. A loving smile is plastered across the young man's beautiful face.

"Hey baby, are you okay?" Brian asks his lover, his voice still heavy with sleep.

"Yeah," Justin replies.

"Why are you awake? Another bad dream?"

"Yeah," Justin answers simply, casting his eyes down so Brian can't see any fear that may still be present from his nightmare.

"Why didn't you wake me?" Brian asks more forcefully now, as his body wakes and he can focus better on his boy. He raises his head slightly, trying to catch Justin's downcast eyes.

The blonde has no reply, but raises his eyes to meet the older man's and shrugs his shoulder slightly.

Brian can see the apprehension in his lover's eyes and knows that the bad dream must have really shaken him. The older man reaches out his hand, still warm from sleep and caresses his lover's cheek.

"What can I do?" Brian asks sincerely. His eyes still locked on the beautiful boy's just inches away.

Justin doesn't answer with his voice, but with his bright blue orbs. They leave the stare of his lover's hazel ones and travel leisurely and seductively down Brian's long body. Brian sees the shift in his lover's eyes, feeling them caress him on their travel down his body. The look in his baby's eyes as he brings them back to meet his says it all. They are glassy and heavy lidded with lust. He knows what he can do to help his boy feel better. It's the one thing that he can always do.

Moving his long body to cover the smaller man, Brian leans down and kisses the inviting mouth. The kiss is slow and deep and comforting. There is no need to rush as Brian wants to erase all the fear and sadness from his lover that the nightmare may have put there. Brian can feel Justin's erection pressing against his stomach. The older man wonders what was going on before he woke to find Justin watching him that put the boy in such a state. The feel of Justin beneath him, the taste of his baby's mouth and the hardness pressing into his thigh is beginning to work its magic on Brian.

Brian moves in again, capturing his lover's lips in another kiss. This time the kiss is forceful and long. Lips crushing against each other in a passionate lock. A soft moan escapes Justin's throat and is lost in Brian's mouth. Their tongues twist and writhe against each other as saliva is passed between them. Pulses start to race and they part only as a breath becomes a necessity. They are both breathing heavier now and Brian can see that his lover's eyes have brightened already. The shadows that were there when he first woke are slowly fading away.

Brian moves his mouth down across the blonde's cheek and chin towards his neck, gently kissing and licking as he goes. He can feel his own erection growing now and beginning to press against his lover's thigh. He moves to shift the pressure and rubs it slightly up and down, getting Justin's attention. Brian looks back at the boy's face and sees a loving smile appear. This just keeps getting better. There is another quick kiss driven by Brian's need to taste his baby's swollen lips, and then he resumes his previous focus. He shifts his body so he can reach Justin's neck and chest better, kissing and gently nipping as he goes. A low moan escapes the younger man's throat and finds its way right to Brian's cock. He feels it jump and has to gasp at the effect on him.

Brian reaches his baby's chest, flattens his tongue and gives a broad lick to Justin's tight little nipple. He moves to the other nipple, taking the ring there between his teeth and gently tugs, sending a bolt right to Justin's dick. The blonde gasps and feels another trickle of precum leak from his piss hole. Brian can feel the wetness as it hits his stomach and pulls the ring again, this time a little harder. A loud moan is forced out of Justin this time and another leak of wetness.

Justin is breathing heavier and beginning to pant. The things Brian can do to his body always seem to astound the younger man. He knows that if Brian were to stay focused on his nipples, not for even that much longer, he would come. He can feel his erection pulse and harden further. The ache in his groin is so strong now and he gently urges Brian lower.

Brian recognizes Justin's subtle hint and moves further down his boy's body, kissing his flat stomach and nipping at his navel. He continues down and is presented with the boy's hard leaking cock. It is a beautiful sight to see. Brian closes his eyes and inhales the scent of his lover. It's one that he knows so well. Even with the countless number of men that he has been with, Justin is the only man that he has loved the scent of. He finds it intoxicating and it makes his head swim with desire.

"Brian…please," he hears Justin beg for him do something.

He quickly takes the member into his hot, wet mouth and deep throats it. The blonde's hips bolt off the bed and a deep growl flows into the air. Brian pushes his boy's hips back down to the bed and slowly inches his mouth up the throbbing shaft. He immediately goes right back down and feels Justin's cock head hit the back of his throat. Another loud yelp escapes Justin but this time he controls his hips and stays put. Brian constricts his throat muscles and they tighten around the head of Justin's cock. The younger man's head is spinning and he is panting. He doesn't know how much more of this he can handle. He knows that Brian likes to play with him and push him as far as he can, but right now, he is teetering on the edge.

Brian can feel Justin's cock swell in his mouth and the precum begin to leak. It is a sweet taste that he craves and always wants more of. But he can also feel how close his baby is to exploding and he doesn't want him to come this way. He wants to be inside him when he shoots his load.

Brian gently backs off of Justin's erection, but before he can completely leave the area he has to have a taste of the boy's balls that he loves so much. The older man sticks out his tongue and swipes at the sac resting between Justin's legs. He takes long, leisurely licks, making it shiny with his saliva. He opens his mouth and gently takes the sac inside. He sucks on one ball, releases it, and then takes the other. Justin is writhing on the bed now.

"Brian…oh, Brian…yeah…ohhh," Justin gets out between pants.

Brian knows he has to stop or it will be too late and Justin will come. He pulls himself up and away from the tempting organ and hears the younger man moan in protest. He climbs back up his baby's body to capture his lips once more. Justin can taste himself on his lover's lips and sucks on the older man's tongue, taking it deep into his mouth. Brian moans at the feeling and deepens the kiss.

Having had a taste of himself on Brian's tongue, Justin now needs a taste of Brian's goods. He pulls his mouth away from Brian and forcefully pushes the older man up to hover over him. Brian knows what his lover wants and makes it easy for him to be moved. Justin slides down beneath the older man quickly, wanting his man NOW. He roughly nips at Brian's broad nipples which makes the older man gasp and moan. He pulls a hardening nub into his mouth and sucks forcefully. Brian's head is hanging down and he is panting openly. He loves the feel of his baby sucking on his tits. Before he can fully appreciate the sweet torment of his boy's mouth, he feels the loss of contact and groans disapprovingly. Justin hears his lover's protest and laughs softly.

He moves swiftly down past Brian's firm stomach, wasting no time on the way, and comes face to face with the older man's throbbing erection hanging over him. He gazes up in his lover's direction waiting for him to meet his eyes. Brian feels the halt of activity and opens his eyes to glance down at his lover. He sees a pair of bright blue eyes lock on his. The older man feels his heart jump at the sight of his baby lying beneath his rigid cock, ready to strike. Keeping his eyes fixed on Brian's, Justin flicks out his tongue and licks at the precum bubbling from the head of his cock. The sight is too much and Brian's head is thrown back as his back arches.

"Oh, fuck…Justin…yeah," Brian growls.

Justin waits again until his lover looks down at him, eyes locking once more, and flicks his tongue over the sensitive head again. Brian's senses reel as his chest heaves, but he is able this time to maintain control long enough to reach down beneath him and grab his young lover. The older man pushes his body down tightly against his lover, both of them breathing heavy, a light sheen of sweat forming on their hot bodies. Brian draws Justin in for a kiss, their mouths devouring each other. Brian can taste his precum that his baby has licked from his leaking erection. Brian is so turned on now and is afraid that he won't be able to be gentle with his boy. Justin senses the extreme passion of his lover and knows that he can either feed it or try to calm it down. He decides to encourage it and ride it out. Literally.

Justin summons all his strength, pushes back at Brian and knocks him over flat onto his back. Brian is startled and not sure what to make of this sudden move for dominance. It is actually turning him on even more. The look of power and lust on his baby's face is so strong and Brian's cock jumps at the thrill of his seeing it. Justin climbs on top of his lover, straddling his stomach. The boy looks down at his lover and begins to rub his leaking cock back and forth over the firm ridges of the older man's stomach. Head thrown back, neck bared and moans flying from his mouth, Justin can feel himself ready to go over the edge.

Brian looks at his lover, rubbing himself along his stomach, body glistening with sweat, head thrown back, his leaking cock wetting his stomach, and gasps. The site is truly one of beauty. His passion overtakes him and he abruptly sits up, grabs hold of Justin's slight frame and roughly pulls his mouth to his own. Their lips mash together in a hard kiss, tongues running over teeth, exploring each other's mouths to the fullest extent. A loud moan escapes Brian and enters Justin's body through his mouth, shaking the smaller man with pleasure.

The need is too great for Justin to control and he roughly pushes Brian away, gaining his dominance again. Brian lands back on the soft pillows as Justin grabs the lube and a condom from the bedside table. Brian watches his lover in awe of the control he sees displayed. Justin turns around quickly, hovering over Brian's body, placing his ass is the air just above Brian's head. The site of the boy's balls and cock hanging over his face cause the older man to gasp with pleasure. But, it's the site of his lover's hole, tight and wrinkled, that calls to him as Justin reaches back with his hands and spreads his ass cheeks for Brian. The smell of his lover hits Brian's nose and his animal lust takes over. He grabs his baby's ass, sticking his face right into it. He inhales deeply, senses on overload now, and nips at the tender flesh of the wrinkled pucker. Justin yelps and his cock bubbles, fluid leaking and dripping down onto his lover below him. Brian knows he can't be gentle, and roughly licks hard at his boy's hole, wetting the stray hairs with his saliva. He licks over and over as Justin whimpers above him.

"Oh…Brian…yeah, yeah…lick me…please," Justin whimpers to his lover.

The moans and whimpers grab at Brian's balls and they spasm with pleasure.

"You like that, baby? You want some more?" Brian gets out between licks.

"Yes…please…oh, please," the blonde forces out between pants.

Justin can feel his knees getting weak as he hovers over Brian. He needs things to go further and he takes charge. Taking the condom he rips it open and quickly puts it on Brian's stiff dick. He decides that with his next move it will definitely kick things up for Brian. He squeezes out a generous amount of lube onto his fingers. The older man is still eating at his ass and the torture is sweet. Justin abruptly pulls his ass away from the tongue attacking it and Brian groans at the loss. Justin knows that in a moment he won't be groaning anymore. The younger man gets on his knees, placed on either side of his lover's body, and looks quickly over his shoulder, making sure he has the other man's full attention. When he sees that Brian is looking up at him, wondering what's next, he makes his move.

Justin leans his upper body forward slightly and reaches his hands back to his ass. He can hear Brian release a deep moan from his chest, knowing what Justin is about to do. Justin takes his hands and gently spreads his cheeks, exposing his hole to Brian, still glistening with saliva. Justin takes his index finger, coated in the lube, and positions it at the opening of his ass. He applies only slight pressure at first, gently playing with the wrinkled knot. Not pushing in, just circling his finger over the hole. He is panting freely now and knows he needs to go further. He pushes more forcefully now and the tip of his finger slips inside his ass, just pushing in past the first ring of muscle. He gasps at the delicious intrusion, and so does Brian. He takes a breath and slides his finger all the way in, not stopping until he has the remainder of his hand pressed firmly against the outside of his ass. He moans and wiggles his finger around inside himself, loosening the tight channel. He starts to move his finger in and out of his hole, moaning and panting freely now. After a few moments, he decides to add a second finger and then soon a third. They move easily in and out as he works to loosen his hole, knowing what he wants to do next.

Brian lies beneath his lover, watching, mesmerized by the site of his baby fingering his own ass. He is panting heavily and moaning. His cock is so hard and is leaking fluid inside the condom. His balls feel like they are being twisted as they tighten and pull close to his body. The site before him is amazing. He reaches forward towards his lover's ass, placing each hand on a cheek and spreads them open. He wants a better view of the fingers going in and out of his baby's hole.

"Oh, yeah baby…finger that ass…get them right up there…harder…yeah…faster…oh, yeah," Brian pants out as he watches Justin's show for him.

"Yeah…yeah…oh, Brian…it feels so good…oh, fuck," Justin moans back.

Justin feels Brian's hands spread his cheeks, hears his words and knows how much his lover is enjoying the performance. He's still got more.

Justin pulls his fingers from his ass and swiftly moves out of Brian's grasp and further down his lover's body, coming to rest over his stiffened cock. He grabs the shaft by the base holding it firmly in place. Brian growls at the contact. Justin positions himself over his lover's erection, placing the head at his hole. He forcefully pushes down, the head of Brian's cock slipping past the tight ring of muscle. They both gasp at the amazing sensation. Justin takes a deep breath and pushes down hard, his ass swallowing his lover's entire cock in one motion. Loud moans escape their throats. The feelings between their legs are so intense. Justin doesn't need much time to adjust to the older man's dick as he has fingered himself quite thoroughly.

The younger man begins to rise up and doesn't stop until only the head of his lover's cock is left inside him. He uses his muscles in his ass to squeeze hard and trap the head in a vice-like grip. Brian gasps at the intense sensation and arches his back. Justin uses the strong muscles in his legs and begins to ride his lover's erection. He pushes back down, not stopping until he feels the older man's pubic hair rub against his ass cheeks. He rises again, leaving just his lover's cock head inside once more. He repeats this motion over and over. Tightening the muscles in his channel on the way out every time, he is making Brian's senses overload with pleasure.

Not being able to stay passive any longer, Brian bolts up to a sitting position, grabs Justin on either side of his slim waist and pulls him roughly off his throbbing cock. He pushes Justin forward onto his hands and knees and harshly slams back into his gaping hole. They both moan at the pleasure of the swift entrance. Sweat is dripping off both their bodies and they are panting heavily as their hearts race. The larger man molds his body to that of his smaller lover beneath him. The pace of their fucking increases as Brian glides in and out of his lover. Justin pushes back to meet every one of the older man's forceful thrusts. Slamming into him, Brian can feel Justin's hole spasming around him. He knows that the end will come soon as the intense pleasure builds.

Justin can't contain himself any longer and cries out to Brian. "Bri…Brian…fuck me…oh, please…fuck me harder…now…yeah."

"Oh, baby…yeah…fuck, you're so tight…Justin," Brian groans out.

Brian reaches around and grabs his lover's leaking cock and Justin gasps at the added stimulation. The older man glides his hand swiftly up and down his lover's shaft, aided by the wetness of the bubbling precum. He runs his thumb over the head of the blonde's cock and hears Justin moan loudly. He keeps up the pace of his thrusts, but now barely withdrawing from his lover's ass. He can feel the head of his own cock raking back and forth over his baby's swollen prostate with each jab. Justin's senses are overloaded with the feel of his man thrusting in and out, hitting his sweet spot with every pass, the long fingers wrapped firmly around his achingly hard shaft and the hot kisses of his lover all over his back. He can feel the signs of his orgasm approaching. His toes start to curl and his sac pulls tight against his body. The familiar jolt of pleasure shoots up his body from bottom to top and grabs him by the nuts.

"Brian….Briiiaaannn….oh, fuck….I…I'm coming…I'm coming," Justin screams at the top of his lungs.

Justin feels himself start to shoot as the cum arches forcefully out of his cock, landing on the bed and the ledge surrounding it. Brian's hand is wet with his lover's spunk and continues to pull on his pulsing dick until the cum stops shooting forth and only trickles down his hand.

Brian can feel the pressure around him as Justin's orgasm begins. The blonde's hole tightens, squeezing his lover's cock in an almost painful grip. Brian can feel his own orgasm creeping up on him and the intensity builds quickly. As his lover's hole continues to constrict in the throes of his orgasm, Brian's body is rocked with a forceful spasm, ripping through his balls and grabbing his dick so tightly. He feels the cum shoot sharply from his piss hole, filling the condom and washing back over him.

"Oh, Justin…I'm coming….fuck…oh, baby…fuck," Brian shouts out in the throes of his own orgasm.

Justin's spasms continue to milk Brian through his orgasm, wringing every drop of cum from his balls. They both collapse to the bed with Brian falling on top of the smaller man, both trying to catch their breath. Justin is having a harder time of it with Brian's weight pressing down on him, but he loves the feeling of the man's weight on him. He feels protected and safe.

Brian's breathing is becoming more regular. He raises his body slightly and holds the condom with his long fingers as he slips out of his lover's hole. Justin whimpers at the loss. The older man removes the condom, full to capacity, and throws it in the waste basket beside the head of the bed.

He reaches down by the foot of the bed for Justin, who has not moved an inch. He grabs hold of his boy's frame and pulls him gently to him. They both settle back on their pillows exhausted from their lovemaking. Brian turns on his side facing Justin's side of the bed and turns his baby's body, which seems to be void of any control of it's own, on his side as well, with the younger man's back against his chest. The older man snuggles closer to his boy's smaller frame, resting his chin on top of his lover's soft blonde hair. He reaches for the duvet and pulls it around them at the same time as he wraps his arm protectively over his boy's waist. He hopes that any bad dreams Justin had that evening are gone from his baby's mind and won't return. He kisses the top of the younger man's head, settling in to sleep.

Justin allows his lover to move and position his body at will. He is physically drained now from their lovemaking and hopes that the nightmare he had had earlier won't return. He feels Brian snuggle up to his back, pressing him firmly against his strong chest and draping his long arm across his body. Justin can feel the safety that his older lover is providing for him, trying to banish any bad dreams from his mind. He smiles to himself as he feels the kiss to his head and hears Brian's breathing softening as he settles down for the remainder of the night.

The room is still dark as the night sky hangs outside. The blue glow from the light tubes above them continues to cast a comforting haze around the bed. Justin's last thought as he drifts off to unconsciousness is that of the beautiful man behind him. He knows that no matter what, he will always have his 'Sleeping Beauty'.
