Nicole woke up as the sun rose feeling the warmth on her face. She opened her eyes pulling herself up with the covers. What she experienced with Jasper was something truly special. What she thought was punishment was simply him telling her that she was all he ever needed and wanted. Nicole couldn't help but bite her lip having flashbacks of their lovemaking.
Turning her head, she reached out for Jasper, but her hand met cool sheets instead of his warm body. She opened her eyes, finding his side of the bed empty. A pang of disappointment echoed through her, but it was quickly replaced by understanding. Jasper, the Lord of Snow, had responsibilities that often demanded his attention.
With a sigh, Nicole sat up, pulling the sheets around her. She glanced around the room, noting the faint scent of Jasper lingering in the air. It brought a smile to her face as she slipped out of bed and padded across the room to the adjoining bathroom.
