Oriana’s POV
A grumble of defiance left my lips as Robin tried to slip away from me in the morning. I held onto him even tighter as the sun peeked out from behind the curtains. “No,” I complained, slowly blinking the dried grit from my eyes.
Robin’s chest rumbled. “Baby, please. I need to go.”
“Just a little while longer, amante,” I pleaded, burying my face against his chest, not wanting the warmth of his arms to be replaced with the cold.
His lips brushed against my temple. “I can’t.”
Begrudgingly, I loosened my hold and let him go. Bit by bit, the memory of last night filled my head. The blood. The destruction. The rage. Robin kissed the side of my face before slipping out of bed.
My eyes peeked open to watch him get dressed. “Get some more rest. I’ll be back for breakfast.” Then he crept out the front door, the locks not clicking as he tried to close it behind him.
What time was it?
