Leodocus had been spent, his body exhausted and his mind in the clouds but not for a second had been able to shut his eyes and slept the entire night. He couldn't because of the beauty laying on her side with her back bare and fast asleep next to him in bed. Her skin was still glowing even after the sky had changed from dark to light, the night breeze had been replaced by the heat of the day. He could not look at her, the way her hair fell covering the pillow she rested her precious head on top of or trace her skin with his fingertips without thinking about last night.
