That face was hers.
Aria exhaled sharply, her breath ragged as her eyes flew open. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her heart pounding from the lingering intensity of the dream. She sat up, placing a trembling hand over her racing heart. Closing her eyes, she took deep, measured breaths, slowly calming herself down. The cold air of the room felt sharp against her sweat-dampened skin, pulling her back to reality.
"It was just a dream," she whispered to herself, her voice shaky but resolute.
She repeated the words in her head, trying to convince herself. But as her thoughts began to settle, a realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, making her freeze in place. Had she just dreamed of having group sex with her brothers? The idea was so absurd and horrifying that she immediately slapped her cheeks lightly, her lips pressing into a grim line.
