A Day of Rest

After Eva cried herself out, she fell into a deep sleep. Lucas was in a state of disbelief. He finally had everything he wanted. He stared down in complete happiness at the cloak he had spent so long completing draped around Eva.

He could not recall another event in his life that brought him such happiness. Of course, as a seasoned warrior his next thought was how he was going to protect this happiness.

That is when he remembered the reason why she had resisted him for so long. That measly human named Hans. He had taken control of her family's lands and title. He would need to crush him.

Eva stirred in her sleep so he smoothed down her hair and began stroking her cheek until she settled. She let out a sigh and the bubble of pure bliss returned to Lucas' thoughts.

'Maybe I should leave the planning for tomorrow.'
