Adea
The sound of chirping birds rouses me from sleep. I should not have been sleeping soundly next to the enemy. I can see an orange glow through my closed eyelids and I know the sun is high in the sky. The warm rays caress my cheek and spread down my arm. My eyes flutter open and the room comes into focus. What time is it?
There’s movement beside me and when I turn my head to the side, I’m met with two orbs of darkness staring back at me. I’m caught off guard by the fact that he was already awake and I somehow didn’t notice.
Shane is propped on his elbow gazing at me as if we’ve done this a million times before. I ignore the whisper that says we have. His gaze is dark and full of heat. A delicious shiver makes its way down my back.
A small smile spreads across his lips and I know he’s aware of the effect he’s having on me. Something in the air shifts as we gaze into each other’s eyes. We don’t move, we’re both present in this moment.
