Ari's heart pumped against her chest as his breath fanned her skin.
Was he sleeping? Was he awake?
Although she was surprised, she did not want him to leave her. She lay stiffly for a while before she finally shut her eyes and slept.
After her body became calm, Xavier's eyes opened in the dimly lit room.
…
The next morning, Ari woke up to one of her legs over Xavier's body and her arm around his torso. She blinked as she stared at the male body she was hugging tightly, and her eyes widened when she remembered who it was.
Quickly taking her legs off him, she turned around to the other side of the bed. Xavier turned almost at the same time, pulling her close to him.
Ari was stunned; was he still sleeping?
The sun rays were already hitting their bodies, so she guessed it was well over 9 am. How was he still asleep?
