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.

When I rolled over, I found Noah still fast asleep beside me, his dark hair falling into his eyes. I tried to rouse him with a few warm kisses to his neck and shoulder, but he hardly stirred beyond letting out a low groan and nuzzling closer against me.

I rolled my eyes and smiled, shaking my head. I guess I should let him sleep, I thought, figuring that he must have needed the rest. I, however, was wide awake, so I carefully extricated myself from his arms and slipped out of the room in my dressing gown.

Lily was already in the nursery when I made my way in. “Oh! You’re awake,” she said, bouncing Melody in her arms. “I figured you might want to rest, so I took care of Melody’s breakfast.”
