Morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a

soft glow over the bed where Elara and Darius lay. The

night had been full of passion, but now, as the sun rose,

everything felt calm. Serene. Elara stirred awake, her

eyes slowly opening to the sight of Darius watching her ,

his head resting on the pillow beside her. His hand rested

on her hip, holding her close as if afraid she would slip

away. "Morning, " he murmured, his voice still thick with

sleep. Elara smiled, reaching out to brush a lock of hair

from his forehead. "Morning." They stayed like that for a

while, just gazing at each other in the soft morning light.

There was something intimate about this ─waking up

together, their bodies still warm from the night before,

wrapped in the remnants of their shared passion. Darius

leaned in, kissing her softly. "I could get used to this, " he

whispered against her lips. Elara laughed quietly, her

fingers tracing the lines of his jaw. "You better. "
