Elara
His warmth was the first thing I felt before I even opened my eyes. Not the usual kind that comes from thick blankets or the sun sneaking past the curtains. This was different. This kind of warmth just settled in my bones and I could feel it.
I yawned softly wanting to shift my body and lay on the side when I felt something wrap around my waist. It was heavy and strong— those familiar muscular arms.
My heart thumped in my chest and I froze. Everything from last night came crashing back in one violent wave. The scream, the sobs, the way I broke down in his arms. The way he held me like he wasn’t the one who broke me in the first place.
I didn’t open my eyes— I couldn't. Because I knew what I’d see. I knew who was lying behind me. I knew who was holding me like I mattered. Ace.
