Chapter 186: Morning Wood
The soft chirping of birds drifted through the hotel room at Stellar Heights, a gentle morning melody that pulled me from sleep. The room was bathed in a warm, golden glow, sunlight sneaking through the edges of the heavy curtains we’d left slightly parted after last night’s passion.
The air still held a faint trace of lavender, now mixed with the intimate warmth of our bodies, the plush comforter on the king-sized bed tangled around us.
"Umm..aghm.." I fumbled awake, my eyes adjusting to the soft light, feeling a comforting weight on my chest. Aeri was curled against me, her naked body pressed close, her arms wrapped around me, her breath slow and steady as she slept.
We were both bare under the crisp white bedsheet, her skin warm against mine, her messy hair spilling over my shoulder. The memory of our night—her moans, our bodies colliding, the snowy cityscape outside—lingered like a dream I didn’t want to wake from.
"Aeri..." I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, my fingers grazing her soft skin.
I leaned forward, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, my heart swelling at the sight of her, peaceful and perfect in the morning light.
As my lips touched her, Aeri stirred, her arms tightening around my neck, and before I could pull back, she pulled me down, her lips meeting mine in a slow, warm kiss. My eyes widened, my face flushing, caught off guard by the sudden intimacy.
Our lips moved together, munching softly in a lazy morning kiss, the taste of her familiar and intoxicating, even after hours of closeness.
Aeri’s eyes fluttered open, a sleepy smile curving her lips as she pulled back just enough to look at me, her gaze warm and playful.
"Good morning, Ezra..." she said, her voice soft and husky, her arms still draped around my neck, her body shifting closer.
