Joseph I slowly awoke feeling a small hand drawing circles on my chest. I tightened my hold on her, pulling her across my chest. “You have to let me go” She quietly whispered. “Never” I growled at her. “I seriously have to go to the bathroom. Let me go, you big brute” She smacked my chest, laughing while I begrudgingly let go of her and watched with amusement as she scurried to the bathroom. After a few minutes, she ran back into the room and dove into the covers, crawling up to lay on my chest. She turned my head, inspecting her mark on my neck, I was excited to see it as well, but I had been so wrapped up in holding her that I did not want to move. After she was done looking, I inspected my mark on her neck. It was a beautiful filigree pattern with a full moon woven into the center.
