Aila couldn't help but smile like a kid at a theme park. She clung onto Damon, her head resting on his chest, their legs intertwined while she drew circles around his mark, and Damon stroked her shoulder, staring at the ceiling. The pair were in a blissful bubble with no interruptions or distractions. The only sounds were of their breathing and the birds chirping outside. Aila sighed in content, wishing for this moment to never end.
She felt complete now, lying by her mate's side. There was an essence of wholeness, a warmth in her chest, and that everything would be fine. The final jigsaw puzzle had slipped into place, and she was euphorically happy. Damon was her everything, and he was all hers.
Yet, she was becoming more aware that they had a lot to sort out. Her brows drew together, and she clenched her eyes shut, hoping to shut down where her thoughts were leading her. She wanted nothing more than to stay in his arms.
