Chapter 115

• Stephane POV:
• I open my eyes to the morning light streaming in through the half opened blinds of the bedroom. Aleen is in my arms, flushed and stunning. Her graceful form is soft and pliant, yielding to me even in sleep. I watch her sleep for a while, feeling content. My heart opens up and stretches with the outpour of emotions. Hard emotions. Soft emotions. Intense emotions. All the emotions. Everything I am unused to feeling.
• It floods through me, watching the girl I am in love with, sleep. Her face is relaxed, rosy lips set slightly apart and she makes little gasping sounds as she breaths that makes me wonder if she is having a rough dream. The sunlight is on her face so I move to shield her, but she comes awake, soft intelligent eyes latching onto mine immediately. She smiles and my heart tugs. She is everything.
