The morning light crept through the curtains, spilling over Chloe and Damien, sweeping them in their soft embrace. Chloe stirred, her gaze locking on Damien, who was still asleep beside her. His chest rose and fell steadily beneath her, his breathing deep and even. She felt his warmth seep into her skin, the feel of him was a comforting presence.
She couldn't help herself, she traced the lines of his jaw with her fingers, marvelling at the way his face was perfectly structured.
His eyes fluttered open at her touch, locking onto her with a familiar intensity that made her heart skip.
"What are you doing?" Damien's voice was husky with sleep, the rough edges making her pulse quicken.
Chloe smiled softly, her fingers brushing through his hair. "Just looking at you. I like this, being here with you."
