Waking up with Mat and I entangled in each other and the sheets was truly the best feeling in the world. I had never dreamed I would find my mate, it was part of how I ended up as Head Warrior for Dark Forest. I threw myself into training, using it as a distraction from the emptiness I had started to feel about a year after coming of age.
Now he was here, in my bed, in my arms, hogging said bed. I smiled and rolled onto my side, drawing him against my body as I curled around him. He stirred and snuggled into me further. He was adorable when he slept. It was the only time I had ever seen him without the weight of some worry or concern on his shoulders, in his eyes.
I enjoyed just holding him for a few more moments before I kissed his shoulder softly, "Hey you. We need to get up. We've already missed breakfast."
