ARWAN
I wake up to the sensation of her hair tickling my chin. Almost involuntarily, I pull her a little closer to me, as if that were still possible. Given how tightly she's been wrapped around me all night, it's evident that I've done this several times. I simply can't bear to let her go. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. But when I hear her stirring, I know I won't have a choice after all. But I decide to savour the moment a little longer, soaking up her warmth.
"Arwan…"
She rolls onto her back to meet my gaze, and her eyes are beautiful, even in the morning light. I'm completely captivated by this woman, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.
"What are you doing?" she enquires.
"I've got you," I whisper.
She raises her eyebrows and tries to free herself from my embrace. It's clear that I'm much stronger than she is, and I don't let her go.
