Her Appearance

[Maverick’s POV]

Later, I lay in bed while Serenity sleeps soundly beside me. The sun is slowly starting to trickle through the window to our right, but I find myself wishing that it would stop and that this single moment of pure bliss would last forever. However, I’m more than aware that isn’t possible.

Sighing, I roll over and kiss Serenity’s forehead, causing her to stir, and when her beautiful eyes open and take me in, I fight the urge to jump her.

“Morning.” She yawns, giving me an enchanting smile. “What time is it?”

I don’t respond as I take in the lovely creature beside me, and when it all becomes too much, I’m pouncing.

“Maverick!” She gasps, but wraps her arms around me. “What’s gotten into you?”

“You,” I respond, nipping at her neck. “Just the sight of you drives me absolutely crazy.”

“Well, that’s going to be a problem.”
