The Love From Vengeance

158 MIDNIGHT BLISS

ARIEL’S POV

I woke up in the middle of the night, and there was Luke on the bed, still sleeping. Well, he was supposed to be. I mean, come on, this was the time for everyone to be in drowsy mode. But look at me; my eyes are all open.

I closed my eyes, trying to get back to sleep, but, to God, it wasn’t working. And it was just great; I’d have to be around here, sitting down and doing absolutely nothing.

I couldn’t shake the feeling of restlessness, so I decided to get up and take a bath, hoping it would relax me enough to fall back asleep. I quietly made my way to the bathroom, trying not to disturb Luke’s peaceful slumber.

As I turned on the shower, the warm water cascaded down my body, instantly calming my senses. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh, finally feeling some sense of peace. Suddenly, I heard the bathroom door creak open, and my eyes shot open in surprise.

There stood Luke, looking at me with a mixture of confusion and concern. “Ariel, what are you doing taking a shower in the middle of the night?”

I blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “I couldn’t sleep, so I thought a shower would help,” I replied sheepishly.

Luke’s expression softened, and he stepped closer to me. “Come here,” he said, pulling me into his arms. I rested my head against his chest, feeling his warm embrace.

“Is everything alright?” he asked, his voice full of concern.

I nodded, not wanting to worry him anymore. But as I looked up at him, I couldn’t resist the urge to press my lips against his. The moment our lips met, sparks flew, and my heart began to race.
