Daphne and Daniel receive a letter.
Subject: A message of importance.
Where: Daniel's place.
Who: Daphne Wexley
Warnings: ~~none. yet. ;)~~ NC17. their first fight/make up-comfort sex. lots of drama. you know you love it!
Open to: Daniel Perkins

Daphne wanted everything perfect for Daniel for when he arrived home from visiting a patient. Ever since the hunt, every spare moment they had they spent it with each other. It really was sickening how close they were all the time and Yvette, Daniel's assistant, often voiced her opinion about it. Daphne didn't understand her so it didn't bother her much. Though they spent all the time they could together, there was hardly enough time to do so. But Daniel had the rest of the night off and Daphne had prepared to keep him all to herself.

A letter arrived late in the afternoon for Daphne, but she was too busy making things ready for Daniel to read it just yet. Setting it on the nightstand, she went on about her business. She had set out candles to light when it was close to Daniel being home, and she had undressed all but for a robe. Lighting the candles when it was time - really she did it for Daniel since he was all mushy like that - she sat on the bed and waited for him to get home. Realizing she still had time, she reached over for the letter and unfolded it.

As she read the loaded letter from her youngest sister, Ella, Daphne forgot to breathe. Her father, Lord John Wexley IV, had died two days ago, and his with his dying breath he had asked for Daphne. Tears formed in her eyes and she just sat there, rereading the letter over and over. She hardly even heard the bedroom door open.

Whatever Daphne needed, Daniel would give her, but he was not prepared to make love to a crying woman. That would do nothing for his self-esteem, and besides - fucking was not part of his forté yet. He only knew how to be gentle, not take command. There would be a next time, when she needed it more than just simple distraction taking him off guard.

"Don't leave me," he whispered to her.

Daphne shook her head, wrapping her arms around him tighter. Taking several deep breaths, she kissed his neck lightly. "I wouldn't leave unless you wanted me too.." she said calmly. She was still hurt by what he had said, and she decided she should voice it. "That really hurt, what you said... I only know so much because I was told to do it. The only time it's ever meant anything was when I was with you... and I was so nervous," she sat back to look at him. "So I don't appreciate you calling me nothing more than a common whore when what I did with you was out of love, unlike what I've done before."

Her face didn't show anger, just more hurt than anything. "And I like that you are sensitive and unsure.. I'm sorry I said I didn't."

Daniel listened, nodding as she spoke. He knew she was right. He was wrong to have even implied that, to have even said it or even thought it. Pressing a kiss to her head he felt rather emotional once more. "It was a low blow. It was cruel of me to even say it... I do not think that of you Daphne, it just hurt when you said I was too concerned. It's my life. It's me."

He sighed, cuddling her closer. "I never told you why it is, but that is for another day."

	Sighing too, Daphne laid her head back on his shoulder, calming down now. She chose not to press on whatever it was that Daniel was going on about, simply because she was too mentally exhausted to worry about it. "I love that you're concerned.. It makes me feel cared for, unlike I've ever felt before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You deserve to be cared for," Daniel told her, kissing her head again and, remarkably to him, continuing to kiss all down her face. "You're a beautiful woman... you are kind, considerate, delightfully spirited, intelligent..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tried to smile, but it just wasn't in her to do so, though she felt considerably better about their relationship. "Some would say that my spirited nature is a hinderance, not a positive thing," she commented, lifting her chin so that he kissed her lips. She kissed him sweetly, reaching up to touch his face.
