lix. Travels

Today was the day that we left for Storm's End. The sun had just risen, meaning I was meant to leave bed soon. But I just did not want to.

Lucien was breathing quietly with his arms wrapped around my waist. My back was facing him as he held me tightly. We had fallen asleep like this last night and I suspected Lucien was still fast asleep.

I carefully turned around so that I could look at him. He grumbled a little and adjusted his arms around me, but he did not seem to have woken up. I was grateful for that because he looked so peaceful and I was not sure how much longer I would get to see him like this for. One day soon will be the last morning we spend together.

A sliver of sun fell onto Lucien's face. I could not help but stare in awe of his beauty. His golden curls fell neatly over his shoulders whilst his strong, handsome face looked so serene. He really was one of the most handsome men I had ever seen.

"I thought staring was rude," Lucien mumbled.

He opened his eyes and smiled gently. The kind of smile that paused time and made everything seem right in the world. It reached his beautiful golden eyes, which stared into my own. Everything about him was just so golden and warm.

"As if you will not be staring at me the second I leave this bed," I scoffed, gently running my fingers through his hair.

A small sigh of pleasure left Lucien's lips as my fingers scratched his scalp. He pulled me closer and nuzzled his head into my chest. The way his arms wrapped around me made me feel safe, as did the weight of his head against my chest.

"We could just never leave this bed," He said.

"Not an option," an annoyingly familiar voice said from behind me. "Rise and shine lovebirds."

Of course Daemon would have entered my chambers without making a noise or knocking first. Only he would be so annoying.

Wait. Daemon was in my chambers. And I was naked!

"Daemon!" I yelled, quickly sitting up to pull my sheets over myself. "Learn to fucking knock!"

Daemon let out a low chuckle as he leaned against the closed door. There was that stupid smirk on his face that meant he was going to annoy the shit out of me. He was going to annoy me no matter what today, but having just seen me naked was not going to help the situation.

Lucien let out a frustrated sigh from beside me. He sat up and shot Daemon a sharp glare before adjusting the sheet over himself. Then he pulled me a little closer to him in an attempt to cover as much of me as he could, despite the sheet already covering us both.

"Well, we have both seen each other naked now," Daemon said, that smirk still on his face. "You are quite attractive to look at. Lucien too. If you could ever use a third, be sure to let me know."

I knew Daemon was joking, but I could not help but be flustered. It was a mix of his words and the way his eyes slowly scanned over every inch of Lucien and I as we sat there. The lustful look turning his bright blue eyes dark did not help either.

Instead of respecting our privacy and leaving my chambers until we called him back, Daemon walked over to the bed and decided to take a seat on it. He turned to smile at the two of us before leaning back and staring straight ahead. Thankfully, straight ahead was directly towards my door, not towards myself.

A small growl left Lucien's lips. He gripped my thigh and leaned forward. I got the feeling he was going to grab Daemon and hit him. Yet I also got the feeling that, seeing how Lucien was naked, Daemon was not entirely going to mind.

Stopping Lucien was a waste of my time, so I just let out a sigh and let him go. I pulled the sheet a little closer to myself and decided to wait until the two of them fought it out.
