*Elio*
I woke with a start in pitch-black nothingness, sitting up straight and looking around in the darkness, my eyes struggling to adjust. Confusion fell over me as I took in the unfamiliar surroundings of our new bedroom, but Cat’s sleeping form next to me immediately settled my heart.
I reached out and gently laid my hand on her back, feeling her deep breaths in and out as she slept peacefully. She was so gorgeous, wearing nothing but one of my T-shirts. At some point in her sleep, the shirt had gotten pushed up so that I had a great view of the backs of her thighs.
I would’ve loved to trace my hand around those gorgeous thighs, but I knew she needed her sleep. She hadn’t been getting enough lately between her classes and worrying about me and her mother. My heart always squeezed with concern when I saw the little smudges of darkness beneath her eyes in the morning.
