Shivering she took off her drenched outer clothes and hugged herself, as her teeth chattered. Something bounced off of her and she reached down to find a soft woven blanket at her feet. She grabbed it up and huddled into it.
There was a spark and then a surprisingly bright flame, as a fire lit up in a nearby stone hearth cheerily. The room grew lighter and Asia went to stand by the fire soaking up the sudden warmth of it, as John built it up bigger. John was naked, but it wasn't as if she hadn't seen his most intimate parts before. Still it was a new and different thing for her to experience. Distracted by the shifting display of muscles and raw masculinity she almost missed seeing the look of sheer agony that was marred across his features, as he squinted against the light of the fire he was building for her. He had one of his headaches! The fire was big enough.
She grasped a hold of his cold shoulders and tugged, "John let me help you!"
Asia pulled at him, until he left off building the fire and let her pull him to the single bed in the room. He collapsed down onto it on his front clutching at his head. Asia wasted no time in beginning to work on him forgetting how cold she was for the moment.
She worked hard at relaxing him, her hands moving over him in a firm massage meant to aid circulation and ease the pain he was gripped by. It wasn't long before his deep breathing told her he was asleep and far from the pain of the headache.
Asia slipped off of the bed and threw more wood on the fire. It was already quite bearable within the tightly constructed stone room. She came back to the bed to stare down at her man. He pretty much took up the narrow bed. Gently, as not to wake him she coaxed him onto his side. She grabbed the blankets up from the foot of the bed and covered him up before slipping underneath them herself.
She cuddled up back against him nestling her head onto his arm, even as his upper arm swung over top of her to hold her against him possessively. Her eyes closed peacefully, as his deep warmth thawed out the rest of her. She would rather be nowhere else in the world right now than right here with him. How strange the ways of God could be.
