CHAPTER 45. Feelings?

  Astrid's POV:

  I awoke thirsty, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I witnessed the most gorgeous scene I could have wished to see.

  Rafael's warm breath fanning on my brow as he clutched me close as if his life depended on it.

  His mouth was slightly open, and I chuckled at how cute he was sleeping. He appears to have no problems in the world, despite the fact that the situation is quite the reverse.

  He appeared innocent, like a kid, in contrast to how he orders everyone, save Eva and me.

  I tried hard not to wake him up by turning around to check the time, but I had no idea what hour it was. We've been sleeping for how long?

  Rafael groaned as I twisted, bringing me closer to him until I was literally lying on top of him. He had a firm grip on my waist. He nestled into my hair, put his head on my neck, and returned to sleep.
