ILL TAKE OFF MY HALO IF YOU TAKE OFF YOUR WINGS

It felt good to just play like a couple of kids.

The moonlight bathed the water with its bright amber glow and the cool waves lapped at naked skin as if in a gentle caress. The feel of Ryders arms sneaking around her again was like electric heat and surreal happiness made her indigo eyes practically glow. A twinkling laugh escaped as she felt his body moved up hers until she was trapped once more in his embrace but she made no move to try to break away.

Honestly, what woman would? Only a complete fool, thats who! And Simi like to think she had half a brain at least in her head. Besides, she recognized a good thing when she saw it and Ryder was the stuff every of every girls fantasy.

She had no real desire to escape the arms of the man who owned her heart and it showed as she raised her arms and looped them around his neck. As water slid down the surface of his skin in beaded trickles, she envied their close contact but he distracted her by pulling her closer so not even air could move between their heated skin. The kiss he laid upon her lips was sweet, sexy and ultra seductive.

Damn, for a guy who thought he lacked the smoothness of his male relatives, he sure knew how to make a girl curl up her toes. The Winchester genes were still very much alive and well in this middle sibling even if he wasn't as brash about it as his older sibling or father.

And that thought just made her giggle. He was hers all hers and she wasn't about to share those little details. The rest of the female population was just straight outta luck on that account.

Breaking the kiss, Simi pulled back a bit with an impish grin and nipped at his chin. Tracing the beat of his pulse with her tongue, she let go of him long enough to run a hand down his back and to the waist band of his boxers. Playing with the material she rubbed her front against him even as mischief danced in her indigo depths.

“Hmmmmmmmmmm, well someone seems to really like it... Guess maybe this suits a keeper then huh? At least for a bit anyways... Better enjoy the view while you can because soon enough I'm going to be big as a house and not even able to see my own feet! I won't be quiet so sexy then and your going to have to help me put on my shoes even!!”

Grinning a bit at that thought, Simi pressed her lips to his shoulder before nipping gently at the velvety skin. For her, the rest of the world had ceased to exist and it was only the two of them in an ocean full of possibilities. Possibilities that seemed a bit easier to contemplate and a world full of potential where ANYTHING could happen if they truly put their minds to it.

“You do realize that your stuck with me now, right? Theres no getting away from me this time and we are going to have to make a few decisions. Decisions that are just YOU and ME and not ones that our families con us into. As much as I love my parents.. They are a bit opinionated and tend to try to influence my choices. We should probably have some sort of plan before we go back to face “reality” and their questions.”

Frowning suddenly as she heard her own words, she sighed and looked up at him with an abashed expression.


“I'm sorry..... I truly didn't mean to bring that up yet.”


Leaning against him, she rested her head against his shoulder and closer her eyes, feeling the thump of his heart against her cheek. It had a soothing effect on her and she frantically tried to commit it to memory even as she fought the return of reality.

“Talk about a mood breaker, huh?” she said with a sigh. “I'm sorry. Forget I said anything... Lets just enjoy this time.. there will be time enough for the other later......”

Silently, though, her mind asked that pesky question. Would there be time later? Did any of them know exactly how much time they had before the contract was called due? What were they doing wasting time here when they should be hunting for a way to free Ryder from the damned thing? Simi suddenly felt like hell and the most selfish person on the face of the earth. As much as she loved being her like this... It wasn't saving the man she loved.

Keeping her face averted so Ry couldn't see her expression, Simi struggled to push back the tide of misgivings that suddenly swamped her. All she wanted to do was go back to the carefree moments of just minutes before. Unfortunately, she had never been an ostrich and her mood was suddenly dangerously close to fearful again.

She couldn't lose him. Not again. She just couldn't. It would literally kill her.

You'll always be my angel no matter what you do,
Cause you take me to heaven, just by being you. [/center][/b][/color]

[Ryder James Winchester]

She's got ...blue eyes...deep like the sea
They roll back when she's laughin' at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine...

Ryder could have stayed in that autumnal dawn forever, drifting further and further out to the sea but utterly content to do so surrounded by his love and tasting each part of her that had been salted by the rippling waves. Devouring her lips; the feel of her body lightly bumping against his with those waves; it erased all else; all worry and contempt and fear.
When she pulled away and ended the mouthy embrace, the hunter couldn’t help the disappointed growl that escaped his parted lips. Immediately his tongue snaked across the lower lip as if to capture the taste of their last kiss, and he tried to gently tug her back to him as he strained to bend his mouth over hers as she spoke.
Talk of her changing body merely added to his craving for her, for the thought of his accomplishment; twins, stroked his ego and made the caveman inside him go all
‘RAWR! WHOS THE MAN?’

And as her lips and tongue traced a path down his throat to his shoulder, the young man clenched his stormy eyes shut and let his head fall back on his neck; sighing contentedly as he clung to his woman; sizzling inside at her mouthy exploration; each time her body collided with his own. At that moment he decided no… he was never going to let this woman go.

Ryder’s eyes only came open and he lifted his head to stare down at Simi when he noted the sudden sorrow and panic in her voice. He sighed, damning himself for the decisions he had made; the mistakes that had cost -this- woman the perfect life she deserved.
Swallowing thickly, the hunter let his arm wind around the angel as he treaded water with the other, holding her as a gentle wave of tremors rivaled the more deliberate ones in the ocean.
What had he ever done to merit the devotion of a seraph like this? Simi…the one that had saved him when he had one foot in the grave. The woman that still loved him after finding out that he sold his living soul for another. The mother-to-be of his children, and the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes upon.
All he had ever done in his miserable life was cause hurt. He had left a trail of heartache like bread crumbs since the night he had fallen victim to the vampire and his own obstinacy and weakness. And he was -still- doing it.
Simi was expecting to raise two children, and how could he ask her to do it without the help of a father to them? What could she do after he was dragged down into the pit but find someone to help her; a man that could take care of her and the kids like he was supposed to.
How could he leave Chey now? She was so vulnerable even though she was strong. Ryder knew deep down her string was pulled taunt, and his actions were making it harder and harder for his baby sister to keep it together.

His mom…his dad…his big brother…every single person that he had touched in life would feel the sting of the piss poor judgments he had made.
And that wasn’t even mentioning Cris…at this moment he couldn’t convince himself to think of her now.

Blinking at the salty water that had dripped in his grey-blue eyes from his wet hair, Ryder dragged his tongue across his lips and swallowed thickly, determination reflecting vivid in his gaze with the light of the wide moon.

He was -not- going to let the people he loved down… not ever again. Simi wasn’t going to raise their babies by herself and Chey wasn’t going to loose a best friend.
He was going to live, damn it. And he was going to live every moment like it was his last.

“Simi…” Ryder’s voice was husky with emotion, and he continued to tread water with one had as he brought the other to her chin, lifting her face so she could see the resolve in his expression; in his adoring, radiant eyes.
“Simi…Marry me.” He said, and his heart ached as the words escaped him. This was right. It was fated. Looking into her sky blue eyes Ryder knew she was the one that was always meant to save him. The redeemer of his heart; his soul. With her standing next to him he would have the strength to hunt down his contract and give those babies a chance at a normal life with a father that loved them like no other could. The same love he would have for his wife as they grew old together…years and years from now. “Today…right now. Wake up next to me for the rest of my life. Have babies with me. Tons of them.”

He grinned; a silly, happy stupid smile that lit up his face and the water around them as dawn began to crest over the horizon.
“Please let me make you happy Simi.” He begged; his eyes full of defenselessness as he waited for her answer more scared of it than even the thought of falling into hell. “Marry me.” He whispered again, and laughed, for even the question made his body warm and his soul to fly high above them.

Of all the things Simi expected to come out of Ry's mouth... That had definitely NOT been it.

For a long moment, Simi could only stare at him in stunned amazement even as her brain struggled to come up with some logical explanation for her very vivid hallucination. Surely she hadn't just heard Ryder asking her to marry him... Had she?? For a moment, she only stood there blinking rapidly and wondering if the ocean water was playing tricks with her hearing. Or maybe it was extreme jet lag. Maybe none of this was actually happening. Yeah, that was probably a more likely scenerio.

She'd almost convinced herself of it until he said it again. Then, to truth of the situation hit her like a ton of brinks and her eyes went wide and comically round.

Glancing upwards into his beloved face, the blond took in his serious expression and the way his heart shined in his brilliant eyes and knew he HAD just popped the question.


The QUESTION. The OH MY GOD, I THINK I”M GOING TO FAINT question that suddenly had Simi feeling as if there wasn't enough air in the atmosphere. Oh wait, of course there was air. She simply had to remember how to draw it in.

Breathe, damn it, Breathe.

Feeling as if the world were spinning in a circle around her, Simi threw her arms around Ry's neck and hugged him tight. Tears of joy spilled down her face even as she squealed in glee. With the sun brinking the horizon, she bobbed in the waves and gave the only answer she could.

“Oh god, Ry... Yes... A million times .. YES! I want to be your wife and wake up next to you every morning for the rest of our lives. I want to raise a houseful of little ones who call you daddy and have you kiss me every time you walk through the door.... That is what would make me happy....”

Then, pressing her body to his, she kissed him with all the love in her heart before resting her forehead against his and breathing a bit raggedly from all the emotions.

“Are you sure though?? Today?? Not that I don't want to but... I don't want you to have any regrets either.. You know.. with your family not being here and all..... Although, to be honest... I love the idea... We can always do something more later....."

Pausing for a moment to take in his expression and then letting a slow, joyful smile spread over lips, Simi pressed kiss to his lips before pushing water out of her eyes.

"I've got to at least find something suitable to wear.... and.. rings... We have to find some rings....” she said, biting her bottom lip even as a huge smile spread over her lips. “We at least have to do that much but... Yeah, lets do it! We are already in Paradise so what could be more perfect?”

Suddenly energized, Simi grabbed his hand and started pulling him from the water. As the sun bathed the beach in a splendid amber glow, the little blond practically bounced from the ocean on a wave of happiness like no other. Her impish grin over her shoulder at her groom to be gave substance to the mischief dancing in her mind.

“And maybe while I'm searching for a dress... I can find something appropriate for the wedding night!”

That said, Simi took off with a laugh towards their room and left her lover to chase after.

You'll always be my angel no matter what you do,
Cause you take me to heaven, just by being you. [/center][/b][/color]
