I awoke to warmth: a warm arm around my waist, a warm body against my back, golden rays of sun warming my cheek, heat pooling in my belly.

It didn’t take long for consciousness to return, and with it came the memory of last night. My skin still felt flushed wherever Noah had touched me, my core pleasantly empty as if a great weight had been removed from my body when I’d peaked in Noah’s arms in the moonlight.
