The fire had died down when they went to bed, but they didn't notice at the time. But it had gotten chilly during the night. Lucas seemed to sink into a deep dreamless sleep.
What woke him was Aria's gentle kiss. He struggled to open his eyes. At least the curtains were drawn so he didn't have to squint. He looked up into the deep green of Aria's eyes, a small smile on her lips. He shifted in the bed and felt the warm heavy blankets around him, cocooning him from the chill in the air. He loved sleeping in a cold room. And waking up to this.
Her words penetrated the fog of his mind and he sighed. To leave the warmth of the bed....He put his arms around her waist rolled her over so that she was know lying down. Then he kissed her. "Oh, I'm coming with you,"
he said once he was done. A part of him was tempted to try to get her to stay in bed a little longer. He had woken up refreshed, after all.
But she had work to do. And he had asked to come, to be part of it. With a sigh sat up, letting the blankets fall to his waist. "Alright. Let me get showered up and I'll be ready in 15 minutes."
His stomach growled and he grinned. "I'm starving."
He raised and eyebrow and winked at her. She knew why.
Finally, he left the bed and headed for the shower.
