RUBY M'CLARKE P.O.V
I slept with no nightmare tainting my dreams.
I woke up with Nikolas arm across my chest and his legs tangled up in mine. He had kicked the covers from his body. He was lying on his stomach, his head turned towards me. The sun was on his face, but it didn’t wake him.
I never had the opportunity to look at him without him knowing, so I just stared. The soft morning light bathed his lightly tanned skin, making it glow. His naked chest glow from the sunlight and his boxer short rode very low, revealing the lighter skin on his lower back that was usually covered. His hair was messed up and covered his forehead. I smoothed it away and noticed his lashes.
