GENESIS Warmth spread across my face. My eyes were closed, but that wasn’t the only thing I felt. My entire body ached, sore yet not in a painful way. There was a lingering sensation, a hum of pleasure woven through the soreness, making me want to stay in bed, to keep sleeping. But something wasn’t right. One of the rules was that I had to kiss him every morning. So I needed to wake up. My eyes fluttered open, the sunlight filtering through the blinds warming my skin. I closed them again, adjusting to the brightness before blinking back to awareness. I turned to the side, expecting to find him beside me, but he wasn’t there. Panic jolted me upright and u realized I was naked. "Ugh." I groaned, pressing a hand to my face as the memories rushed in. Oh god. How could I have been so
