***Terra's P.O.V.***

The sun shines brightly through my windows and I roll over to press my face into my mate's chest. He lightly drapes his arm over my body and pulls me closer to him. I sigh, feeling content, and pull the covers up to my chin.

I feel Aaron's chest rumbles softly and I open my eye slightly to see him smiling warmly.

"What are you looking at?" I mumble, shutting my eye and burying my face into my pillow. He chuckles again and starts to trace patterns on my face. I scrunch up my face and bite back giggle. "Stop that."

"Why? Does it tickle?" He moves his hands under the covers and finds their way to my sides. My eyes snap open to meet his sparkling grey ones.

"Don't you dare." I warn and he flashes me a devilish smile before moving his hands. I squeal in surprise and squirm in his arms to try to get away from him, but he manages to keep me underneath him. "St-o-o-op!" I manage to choke out in between my fits of laughter and he simply shakes his head.

"You know how to make me stop." He replies, his entire face lighting up with a smile as tears prick my eyes from laughing so hard. I suck in a quick breath of needed air, but he doesn't stop his attack.

"Aaron stop!" I giggle when he buries his face in my neck. I refuse to give up this time. Every time we get in this kind of situation, he ends up winning; for obvious reasons. You would think because of my blood I'd be the more powerful mate, but sadly that is not the case. Having royal blood does nothing to help me in this situation.

"Say it." He urges quietly, his mouth at me ear. I choke on my laughter, grabbing for my aching sides, but he lightly swats my hands away.

"I won't!" He digs his  fingers in a little more and I yelp. "Okay! Just stop!" He immediately stops and I breath deeply to catch my breath.

"I'm waiting." He murmurs, a playful smile on his lips and I roll my eyes.

"You'll be waiting a little longer." I reply and push him from over top of me. I catch him slightly off guard and I take the opportunity to roll off the bed.

I make a mad dash for the bathroom, but he manages to catch me around my waist and picks me up from behind. As my feet leave the ground, I reach for his arms to see if I can get him to drop me, but of course that isn't the case.

"Put me down!" He doesn't say anything; only laughs quietly and I feel the vibrations from his chest on my back.

I let out a small squeal of surprise when he tosses me back to the bed and is hovering over me in the next second. He pecks me briefly on the lips and smiles lovingly down at me.

"Nice try mate, but not good enough to get away from me." He nuzzles his face in my neck once again and I sigh in contentment as I wrap my arms around his body.

Just as I'm about to say what my mate wants, because I love him and can afford to boost his ego just a little, the bedroom door bangs open. I jump and Aaron, getting protective of me, brings me to a sitting position and makes sure to keep me behind his body. I still haven't seen who busted through my door and I risk peering over my mate's shoulder.

This makes Cam growl loudly and I flinch slightly at how angry he is. Bo returns his growl and presses me back into the headboard.

"What are you doing to my sister?!" He shouts, moving to stand directly in Aaron's face. His normally brown eyes are black and I try to move from behind my mate to calm him down, but Aaron keeps his arm around my waist.

"What are you doing in here? This isn't your room." Aaron retorts, leaning forward to give Cameron a slight shove backwards.

 "Aaron!" I exclaim, scrambling to my feet, but I don't move fast enough.
