Love Marks

When Emily opened her eyes, a sliver of the morning sunlight was peeking through the long black curtains that were covering the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The soft breathing from the man sleeping next to her made her brain recall all the vents from the night before and she almost felt her entire body turning a shade of pink.

That's right... she... they... they made love...

A small smile bloomed on her lips as she felt the happiness that her soul and mate bond was radiating.

She felt thirsty, so she got up carefully, trying not to wake Kaiden. But it wasn't an easy job as the man had his arm wrapped around her and his face nuzzling into the back of her head. It took her quite a while and some effort to finally pull herself out of his hold.

"Uuh…"

A groan escaped her lips unknowingly. She didn't realize just how sore her body was after their last night's activities. She completely forgot about this part of the so-called love-making session.
