Golden rays burned against my stuck-together eyelids. I slowly opened my eyes. Seeing the familiar motifs of my room and the red silk sheets, I jumped out of bed.

How did I end up in my room?

I looked around at the painfully familiar walls, staring at every detail as if any small trinket could wake me from this dream because it for sure had to be a dream.

It was just a dream, right?

I pulled the blanket off and quietly shrieked in joy seeing my naked body.

So it wasn't a dream.

I hugged myself and closed my eyes, as I tried to remember every spot Leonardo touched. I hummed softly, hoping to preserve his touch on me forever. His strong arms, wrap around my body. His firm chest, hugging mine while I wriggled around. His body, pounding with passion.

Surrealistically, it was impossible, yet so wonderful. I could remember every touch, every kiss, every dirty-spoken word, that made me scream in joy.

Last night was the one, that changed my life.

Despite the euphoria of last night's memories, I still couldn't get past the contract veil, that followed me and him everywhere. Although it changed my life, this contract probably destroyed both of us.

I stretched in bed, unable to stop smiling, and got up from the bed. The blissful mood followed me to the bathroom as the hot water relaxed my tense body.

Yet I still couldn't understand. I clearly remember falling asleep in Leonardo's room. I didn't know for how long he was gone, but I for sure can distinguish the moment he came back and wrapped his arms around mine.

But why did I wake up in my room? Did he bring me here while I was sleeping and still naked?

I got out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, and stepped across the room threshold, but then I froze. My room's door was wide open and in the doorway, stood Leonardo. He was wearing a red robe, his hair was disheveled from sleep and he looked so natural yet again.

He glanced at me from head to toe and stopped at my still-wet hands. I covered my chest as much as I could, but Leonardo's lustful gaze penetrated deeper into my body and evoked the feelings, that made us both sin last night.

"How did you sleep?" he asked in a normal tone and it made me more confused.

"Great, but I'm a bit confused."

I walked into the room, passing by Leonardo. While trying to regain myself, I also tried in vain to hold up the slipping towel. I knew it couldn't happen again, I knew both of us would try to avoid each other, but I could still try and save my dignity.
