Thalina had managed to convince Zorath that everything was ok, before she went to sleep again, she had fell asleep in his arms.
While the doctor who came, and checked up on Thalina, reassured Zorath that everything was ok.
He refused to leave her side and, decided to sleep with her until she woke up.
Thalina's eyelids fluttered open, and the first thing she realized was that she was still in Zorath's arms. Still.
The male hadn't moved an inch. His powerful chest pressed against her back, the steady rise and fall of his breath a quiet reassurance, grounding her in the moment.
But what truly made her freeze was the heavy tail wrapped tight around her waist, locking her in place like some prized possession. It felt strangely comforting, yet possessive, and she couldn't decide if she should be grateful or annoyed.
Her eyes darted around, taking in her surroundings with a mounting sense of awe. Whoa. This place was—luxurious.
