Master and the Sub

As I awake from the short rest I notice she is is lying beside me. I watch her sleep, watching her chest with every breath she takes, smelling her scent.Her eyes open, could she feel me watching her or did a nightmare from her past wake her at that moment. She saw me and immediately jumped to her feet backing away from me seeing if I would react. I didn't move, still lying there not moving making no gestures that would make her feel threatened. She kept her distance, continuing to study me with intense observation. She looked at the expression on my face, looked in my eyes,I wondered could she see the darkness I felt, the pain, the hurt, could she she the love I had to give. She gazed long and hard before moving a little closer, she laid down near me but kept a distance between us. She could see the scars on my chest, deep scars that told a story of part of the life I had, I have many scars some only visible in my mind. I gazed into her eye's I could see pain, hurt, distrust of me being near, I could sense her wariness to get closer. I never moved from my spot as I laid there for a moment I realize I can show her my trust, I rolled over on my back, exposing my heart, giving her the opportunity to rip my heart to pieces.I wanted to show her I trusted her and when she was ready I would be here.
