Kisha and Duke enjoyed a peaceful, undisturbed ten hours of sleep within the tranquil space. As Kisha awoke, she took a deep breath, her smile growing as the fragrant scent of flowers filled her lungs.
The soft sunlight filtered through her thick, curly eyelashes, fluttering like delicate butterfly wings.
"You're awake?" Duke's hoarse voice resonated softly beside her, laced with a touch of warmth and affection. When Kisha opened her eyes, she was greeted by his tender gaze.
He lay on his side, propping his head up with his right arm, his expression filled with quiet adoration as he watched her.
He leaned in, placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "You can sleep a little longer if you want," he whispered softly, his voice soothing and tender.
"Why are you trying to send me back to sleep? You're the one who should rest a little longer," Kisha teased with a playful pout, turning to face him with a soft smile.
