Yours, Until Needed

Born into the Thornhill family, Eliana should have been dealing with succession planning and heiress training. But instead, she’s dealing with the crocodile tears of her cousin Alexa. As if stealing her Fiancé wasn’t enough, she’s out to pin everything onto Eliana. Trust issues - Eliana. Popularity issues - Eliana. Landslide - Must be Eliana. In an attempt to end her cousin’s jealousy-ridden machinations, Eliana is forced into a relationship with a childhood disaster, Lucian Alder Sinclair, her most tempting nightmare. Lucian Sinclair has always been synonymous with perfection, at least to most people. But to his family, finding someone who could handle his aloofness has been the top priority. Forced to return to his home country at the behest of his grandfather, Lucian fortunately encounters Eliana who’s in need of a ready-made partner. Constantly up at each other's throats, then into each other’s arms, may the lies they’ve told hold up against discerning family members and unrelenting pursuers.

I woke up slightly confused. I remember laying down for a nap after talking to Lucian for a bit.

What time is it? My arm tried patting the bedside for my phone but to no avail.

Instead, I ended up patting hot skin. Lucian.

His body temperature always seemed higher, a perfectly good warmer for much colder nights.

He typically slept in his sweatpants, so by now, I've gotten used to waking up next to a furnace.

I just haven't gotten accustomed to the proximity.

Sometimes, I'd wake up clutching various body parts or pinned under him. 

He says it's because he had no choice but to pin me to stop me from kicking him off. Maybe that happens when the temperature gets really warm.

So now I'm on top of him, and instead of panicking, I just burrowed comfortably. There's only Rina on today's agenda. After my morning routine, I'd have to call her and haul ass to wherever.
