As Sweet As You Are

The next morning I woke up with Breya tucked into my chest. I lifted my arm up and stroked her silver hair until she opened her golden eyes to look up into mine with a warm smile.

"Mmm, you don't know how long I have wanted this," she said and then buried her face back into my bare chest.

I kissed the top of Breya's head and then pulled her lips up to mine. "And you are going to have it every day," I promised. After an extended period of comfortable silence, I asked, "Excited about the Games?"

She perked up instantly. "Yes! It's going to be so exciting to watch! There are still many candidates to come, but we already know some of them. I am pretty sure that most of the women who were part of the wall guard are participating."
