Eva's POV
Moments after the second round of passion...
The sunlight streamed lazily through the sheer curtains, casting warm, golden patterns on Jinman's bare chest. His arms were still wrapped tightly around me, the remnants of our shared fire lingering between us like heat waves rising off summer asphalt. My body was still trembling, sore in the most delicious ways, my skin flushed with satisfaction.
He leaned over and brushed his lips against my temple, his voice low and raspy from exhaustion.
"You're unreal," he whispered. "You've turned my world upside down, Eva."
I smiled weakly, tracing slow circles across his abdomen. I wanted this moment to stretch forever. A lazy morning, a stolen day, just the two of us hiding in this slice of heaven. But heaven never lasted long in my world.
My phone buzzed violently on the nightstand. A single vibration… then two more. I groaned, not wanting to reach for it, but something inside me whispered check it.
