Chapter 12
Warm light peered through the window and shot directly towards Eric's eyes, disturbing his peaceful slumber. A low grunt rumbled in his throat in annoyance. It had been days that he had a good night's sleep, one which he dreamed a wonderful dream.
He opened his eyes, a little blurry and uneven before it focused on the most beautiful woman he ever saw, and he thought he was still dreaming. Bits of memories rushed in his head, realizing everything was real.
His fingers skimmed his lips, fighting a grin. They did kiss! He really did kiss her! And he even professed his love for her!
He smiled at himself, a little embarrassed for what he did. He then watched her sleep, a tranquil smile on her face that brought something like contentment in his heart. She was so close to him, snuggling in his chest. His nose perked, smelling her scent. That familiar milky scent mixed with powder and honey, and his eyes briefly closed to savor it.
