Veronica woke up around two a.m and felt a pair of arms, once again snaking around her body. Then realization hits her, where she, just like five years ago, is still the same, as making herself too readily available for the man beside her. It's not like he used a magical power to compel her but she herself was more than willing to offer her body to him. 'I miss you.'
She was feeling conflicted after remembering what he uttered last night. 'Do you? Why?' She silently asked. Veronica moved but found it very hard as the beast was tightly coiled around her and she could only do a slow but sure effort to roll her body over to face him. She looked at his serene and calm sleeping face. Years had done him really good. He's more handsome than she could remember him.
