Chapter 54: Dream
Dear gods, all this was all too much, it was a speeding hunger that would destroy him, she was making him go mad and what almost brought him to his knees were her words...
’I want to be a better bride to you’
Those words brought unusual feelings to his body and made him far more fascinated by how she intended to do that, she seemed quite determined all of a sudden.
His eyes darted to the space beside her, the temptation came again to lay beside her, but he wasn’t tired but he didn’t care, after all, there was a heater so he shouldn’t worry about overusing his aura again... besides he can hopefully create a balance for her sake.
The temptation was far stronger now with every thought that crossed his mind he could no longer resist laying beside her.
Unbeckoned to him as he lay by her side he finally found himself in the realms of sleep... what he has not intended.

It was a soft melody, it was faint and distant. But the rhythm brought him a sense of familiarity, it was too great and overwhelmed his entire body... it was a soft humming sound, he didn’t know what it meant but he knew the sweet humming was directed for him and only him... was it a memory? Or perhaps a dream?
His vision blurred too... they were all too bright, and the air was chilly but the warmth from whoever held him was powerful, able to shield him from all the cold, the gentle finger movement on his hair, just who is this? And what is this touch? It felt so familiar and it weighed heavy in his heart.
