Warmth. That was the first thing Lunara noticed. A cozy, comforting warmth that made her want to sink deeper into it.
The second thing? She couldn't move.
Her brows furrowed as she tried to shift, only to realize something heavy was draped over her waist. That's when her eyes fluttered open, and it hit her that she had fallen asleep in Eryx's bedroom last night.
When did she even fall asleep? She remembered nearly getting a cramp from trying so hard to fake it, but after that… nothing.
She froze.
Eryx was right there, his face relaxed in sleep, his bare chest rising and falling steadily. And she? She was practically curled up against him, trapped in his hold like some kind of oversized pillow.
Lunara swallowed. 'Okay. No need to panic. Just... move.'
She tried, but his arm didn't budge. If anything, he pulled her closer, his nose brushing against her hair as he exhaled a slow, deep breath.
Her heart nearly stopped, but she gathered her courage and slowly lifted her head.
