Chapter 7 - Dawn's Blush

As the night settled over the underworld, casting shadows that danced across the walls of their chamber, Lavecia found herself unable to tear her gaze away from Azazel's sleeping form. His features softened in slumber, his dark lashes brushing against his cheeks as he breathed in the quiet stillness of the night.

Unable to resist the pull of her curiosity, Lavecia reached out a tentative hand, brushing a lock of hair away from Azazel's forehead with gentle reverence. She couldn't help but admire the striking beauty that lay before her—the sharp angles of his jaw, the curve of his lips, the way his chest rose and fell with each breath he took.

But as Lavecia's eyes lingered on Azazel's sleeping form, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, her eyelids growing heavy with sleep. With a sigh, she nestled into the warmth of her blankets, her thoughts swirling with dreams of shadows and whispers of darkness.

Little did she know, Azazel was awake the whole time, his eyes half-lidded as he watched Lavecia with a mixture of fondness and longing. He couldn't help but be drawn to her—the way her hair fanned out around her like a halo, the softness of her breath against his skin.

And so, as Lavecia drifted off into dreams of shadows and whispers, Azazel couldn't resist the urge to draw closer to her side. With silent footsteps, he made his way to her bed, his heart pounding in his chest as he laid down beside her, his hand reaching out to brush against her cheek with a feather-light touch.

The next morning, as the first rays of dawn filtered through the chamber, Lavecia stirred from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open to find Azazel sleeping peacefully beside her. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, her cheeks flushing with a warmth that spread from the tips of her toes to the roots of her hair.

But as she moved to sit up, she felt a gentle pressure against her cheek—a soft kiss, lingering and tender. Startled, she turned to find Azazel gazing at her with a warmth in his eyes that mirrored her own.

Their eyes locked in a silent exchange of understanding and affection, their hearts beating in unison as they shared a moment of intimacy that transcended words. And as Lavecia's face turned as bright as a tomato, Azazel couldn't help but smile—a smile filled with a love that burned as bright as the flames of the underworld.

And so, as the dawn broke over the horizon and bathed the chamber in golden light, Lavecia and Azazel lay entwined in each other's arms, their hearts overflowing with a love that defied the shadows of their past. For in each other's embrace, they had found solace and strength, and a bond that would endure for eternity.
