Chapter 142 Sunrise To Sunset

• The sun peeked through the sheer white curtains of the master bedroom, warming the sheets in soft golden hues. Ellerei stirred slowly, her body still deliciously sore from the night before, her breath syncing with Knox’s where he held her close—his chest pressed to her back, his arms a fortress around her. His palm rested low on her stomach, thumb brushing idly, like he couldn’t stop touching her even in his sleep.
• She didn’t want to move. Didn’t want to speak. Not yet. Not when the world outside their island paradise was sharpening its teeth again.
• Knox’s lips brushed her shoulder. A silent good morning.
