Hades
Stella put her head on my chest and wrapped her body around mine.
I wrapped my yes around her and willed the lights to turn off.
"It's a cool trick," she whispered.
"There's got to be some perks being me." I whispered. "Sleep tight, sweetheart."
She snuggled closer to me.
I wasn't even aware she'd wanted me to stay. And now she was in my bed.
A part of me wanted to carry her back to her room and sleep with her there. My room felt like my sanctuary, and I'd let her into it. It was scary.
After five thousand odd years and I let a girl sleep in my room with me.
She should have a price or something.
Her breathing evened out, and she was asleep.
I smiled. It felt like the right girl, so it was okay.
