Kael's POV
The first light of dawn slipped across the trees, pale gold streaking the sky. My eyes opened slowly and the first thing saw was her. She was still snuggling in my embrace, now transformed into her human form, entirely naked, pressed against my naked human form.
Eira had shifted back sometime during the night, her wolf giving way to her human form. Now she lay pressed against me, her bare skin soft against mine. My arm cradled her head, her breath steady against my chest. My free hand curved around her shoulder, holding her close.
It was more intimate than just sleep. Too close. If she opened her eyes now… what would she think?
And it wasn't just me—behind her, Lucian had shifted back too, , his naked body pressed close against her back. His arm was curled around her waist, holding her as though it were the most natural thing.
