At the crack of dawn, as the first sunlight shone into the bedroom of Dustmeadow Mansion, Cassandra was woken up by the alarm. She stretched but felt warm skin, which startled her and made her fling her eyes open.

Cassandra was stunned. Before she could react, he asked in a deep, raspy, and fairly amused voice, “You’re
