Just before the first rays of light could even break over the horizon, Luca woke up in a cold sweat with his heart racing.
His arms were still around Sophia so, as quietly as he could, he escaped his omega and went into the bathroom where he stood there with his hands pressed against the beige-tiled countertop. The coldness felt good against his palms and made him feel more grounded.
