Vaughn tossed and turned as he laid wide awake. He turned to his side and looked at the face of his sleeping wife. Zenia was already sleeping soundly, and Vaughn could even hear light snoring from her. He smiled and gathered her in his arms. He held her tightly and finally fell asleep.
Zenia opened her eyes and smiled. She woke up when Vaughn pulled her close to him. She had a hunch that he could not sleep in unfamiliar territory, especially when he knew that it belonged to the Ninth Prince. She went back to sleep and snuggled closer to her husband.
