Later she layed curled against him her blonde hair fanned out on the bed and over his arm.

Listan's fingers brushed against her skin, sliding over her hips. His voice was gentle and soothing. "That was amazing."

Her body was relaxed and comfortable, her head resting on his chest, but she couldn't  help feeling awkward.

Listan noticed that she didn't  respond back, and he gently lifted her face up to look at him. 'You okay? Is there something wrong? I didn’t hurt you, did I?"

Toya shook her head, her blue eyes meeting his. "No, you didn't hurt me. I just never did something like this before, and I didn’t know I'd feel like that."

He kissed her forehead tenderly, and caressed her cheek. His voice was a whisper. "It's okay. I understand. Just relax, and let's enjoy this moment. There's no need to overthink."

Toya nods, feeling the tension drain from her body. She takes a deep breath, her heart still pounding. But it's a good kind of pounding. She relaxes into him, closing her eyes and letting the warmth of his touch wash over her.

He holds her close, his arms wrapped around her. Listan's voice was soothing, his breath against her skin. She can feel his heartbeat, matching the pace of hers. His hands moved slowly, caressing her back. He wanted her to feel completely at ease. He leaned in and rested his head on top of hers. Somehow they both drifted off to sleep.

There was a ringing, sometime later and Listan eased out of the bed, trying not to wake her, reaching for his pants on the floor.

Toya stirred slightly, but didn't wake up completely. She shifted in the bed, pulling the covers close to her. She could hear Listan talking in a low murmur on the phone, but can't make out what he was saying. She thought she heard the words "target" and "mission," but she was too tired to think too much about it and slipped back into a deep sleep.

Listan continued talking softly on the phone, his expression more serious now,  and noticed when she stirred from the corner of his eyes. He glanced over at her, getting a strange feeling in his chest as he did, which was weird for him. He wanted to reach out and touch her again, have her again. Listan stood up and left the room when the conversation became more intense,  not wanting her to overhear anything in case she woke up.

Listen returned, when the call was done and stood by the bed watching her sleep, his heart skipping a beat again, his expression softening. The call was about a job he had to put down. Listan had no choice, it was what he did, although he really didn’t want to leave at that moment. He wanted to spend the rest of the night with her. Turning to the closet he sighed, twisting a kinky coil of his hair. He felt around in his clothes, pulled out a gun with a silencer, checked it, slipped it back in the jacket and pulled it on.
