I woke up with my heart full and my mate next to me, his arm draped protectively around me as I turned slightly to watch him sleep. His full lips were lightly parted and his obsidian hair a mess across his forehead. He looked so peaceful, so naturally at ease. My hand twitched to caress his cheek, but I didn't want to wake him. I watched as the dark lashes that were fanned across his face fluttered, but his eyes didn't open.
I lightly traced my fingertips across his shoulder, unable to stop myself from touching him any longer, I still didn't know how much longer I had with him. He would be coronated today, and I would return to earth. He would likely have many matters to attend to as new King, and I just didn't know where that would leave me. Where that would leave us.
