Book 1 : Chapter 27 Leo V Haden

October 19th

It was 9:16 am and for once I had woken before Leo. I rolled over to face him. His skin was smooth and glowing in the morning sun and his features so soft and gentle as he slept. The bed covers had slipped down, exposing his broad shoulders and perfect chest that rose and fell with every breath.

I smiled to myself and gently ran my fingers along his arm. His eyes slowly flickered open, revealing their intense blueness.

"Morning," he said in a perfectly broken morning voice.

"Morning," I replied, placing my hand on his cheek. "I didn't mean to wake you. You looked so peaceful."

"I still am," he said, placing his hand on my bare waist. "It's a perfect morning."

I looked out the window to see clear blue skies and bright sunlight. But from the crispness of the dewy grass and the slight draft through the wind I could tell it was bitterly cold. My favourite kind of weather.

"You have the Luna symbols," he said, running his thumb along my wrist.
