She felt exhausted.
Her limbs were heavy.
Her lips chapped.
Her throat sore from the embarrassing volume and pitch of screams she'd made the night before.
She didn't regret a moment of it.
She licked her lips as her tired eyelids slowly blinked open, her body instinctively moving closer to the warmth she felt curled behind her.
It was so warm.
And comfortable.
Her husbands.
Lyov.
Phoenix.
Alexander.
And Tenshi.
The gentlest, sweetest sound broke the silence.
Her little kitten walked nimbly over a sleeping Tenshi, blue eyes fixed on her, as if he immediately knew the moment she woke.
Snowball leapt the distance and landed, nimble paws pressing against her bare chest and the blankets piled over her.
A tiny tongue rasped her chin before the little puff ball curled up in a circle right under her chin.
