The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over Derek's bedroom. The gentle rays slowly pulled him from his slumber, and as he opened his eyes, he felt the comforting weight of Cora beside him.
She was nestled in his arms, her head resting on his chest, her breath soft and steady. For a moment, Derek remained still, allowing himself to savor the tranquility of the moment.
He never imagined he'd wake up like this with Cora, the woman he'd loved for so long, finally by his side. It still felt surreal to him even with her warm body pressed against his.
He reached out to caress her face, his body tingling from the sensation. He didn't care if it was natural for a male to feel that way, all he knew was that it made him happy. It made him feel contented.
