CHAPTER TEN
WHAT?!
Aria's POV
"You're awake," a soft voice said, startling me out of my trance. I slept off immediately after I finished my meal, I guess I was too exhausted to leave the chamber. Gently, I rose from the bed where I was laid.
"Adrain," I said softly. There was something about him that made me comfortable. He had a soothing voice and his presence was as peaceful as anything one could think of. How about his scent? Oh, moon goddess, it was worth dying for. I could smell him for a lifetime.
"How long have you been sitting there?" I queried, realizing that he was sitting adjacent to me, fully engrossed and focused on me.
"For a while…" he replied, smiling weakly.
I noticed the weak smile then my curiosity piqued. "What is wrong?" I questioned.
"Wrong? Does it seem like something is wrong?" He asked.
I shrugged. "Well, I know that smile you just gave off," I said, gesturing at his full and attractive lips.
