As the soft light of dawn filtered through the curtains, I slowly blinked my eyes open, feeling the warmth of Aurelia's arms wrapped around me. I shifted slightly, turning to face her, and my heart skipped a beat as I gazed upon her sleeping form.
Aurelia's hair was tousled from sleep, and a peaceful expression graced her features. I couldn't help but smile as I reached out to brush a stray lock of hair away from her face.
She stirred at my touch, her eyes fluttering open to meet mine. A small smile played on her lips as she pulled me closer, pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead.
"Good morning, princess," she murmured, her voice husky with sleep.
I leaned into her embrace, relishing the warmth of her body against mine. "Good morning," I replied, my voice soft with affection.
Aurelia peppered kisses along my jawline, eliciting a giggle from me. "Stop," I protested playfully, though I made no move to push her away.
