Rose PoV
I opened my eyes and yawned as the soft morning light streamed in through the window, casting a warm glow over the room.
Saffron let out a mix between a moan and a sigh. He opened his eyes and blinked at me. I couldn't help but laugh at his adorableness.
"Morning," he said, his voice hoarse with sleep.
"Morning, sleepyhead," I replied, my voice laced with affection.
Saffron's hand reached out and caressed my cheek. "Did you sleep well?" he asked, his eyes searching mine.
I stroked his chest and nodded, a smile playing on my lips. "I did. Being in your arms, feeling your warmth... it made me feel so safe."
A hint of a blush colored his cheeks as he smiled. "I'm glad. I want you to always feel safe with me."
His thumb brushed over my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.
"I do," I whispered, leaning into his touch.
"I love waking up next to you," he said softly, his voice still thick with sleep. "It feels like a dream I never want to end."
