Chapter 62

Something warm and solid presses against me, an unrelenting weight that refuses to let me move. I shift slightly, but the grip around me tightens.

I blink, trying to adjust to the morning light streaming through the window, only to realize that I’m wrapped in a tangle of limbs—Caspian’s limbs.

His arm drapes heavily over my waist, his leg hooked over mine, his chest warm against my back. He’s practically caging me in.

I sigh. “Caspian.”

No response.

I wiggle again, attempting to pull my leg free, but his hold only firms.

“Caspian, you need to wake up,” I try again, my voice still groggy from sleep.

A low, lazy hum rumbles from his throat, but he doesn’t move.

“Caspian,” I warn, pressing my elbow lightly against his ribs. “You have business with your father this morning.”

“Father can wait,” he mutters, his voice thick with sleep. His grip tightens, pulling me even closer, as if that were possible. “You, on the other hand… not letting go.”
