EMMELINE I could hear the birds singing outside, hinting that it was already morning as I opened my eyes and looked out my small bedroom window. The sun was up and it promised a warm day. If only Amari stayed with me last night. Just as I thought of that, I felt an arm weighing down on my waist, the warm air of his breathing brushing my neck, making me smile. He was here with me. As I turned around, careful not to wake him up, I ran my finger down his gorgeous face, his short beard and his mustache accentuating his features. “If you keep touching me like this, you will have to deal with the consequences,” he smiled, opening his eyes to show me those beautiful blue orbs. They shone with the morning light, giving him the perfect look. “Maybe I want to deal with them.” I smirked.
