Ave woke up at the first break of dawn with the morning birds singing outside the window, gentle breeze blowing the curtains and making them sway. She opened her eyes and tried unsuccessfully to move away from whatever was holding her down. She frowned as she realized she wasn't lying on the bed alone, and someone else was there with her holding her tightly against his body.
Ave would have panicked if she didn't immediately perceive his familiar scent she could never mistake for anyone else. She could barely remember what had happened last night and how she had ended up sleeping in such a position with Lucian.
