Hard

It was already dark when Gavriel's eyes finally slitted open. However, he did not move a muscle and was not in a rush to get up from bed. Because after opening his eyes, his senses told him that there was a little warm and soft creature peacefully sleeping in his arms. He breathed in deeply and relished the warm weight he held.

He smiled and kissed her hair gently. The sight of her peaceful face had warmed his entire being and he could not help but feel incredibly satisfied and contented just by waking up this way with her in his arms. He could really get used to this. The thought of waking every day with her beside him warmed someplace cold and frozen, deep within him just made it all the more precious.
