However, just a few minutes later, Alex's hand landed on her waist, pulling her toward him and trapping her between his arms.
"Did I wake you?" she asked, trying to catch a glimpse of his face. But Alex didn't let her. Instead, he gently pressed his head into her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
Aurora remained still, letting him explore her as he wished. Yet, her heart raced when his hand slipped beneath her nightgown, fingers slowly tracing their way upward.
This wasn't the first time Alex had held her or pressed his lips to hers, but it was the first time he so boldly touched her this way, his hand gently finding her breast.
She felt her breath catch, her pulse quicken, and her skin tingle with warmth.
Her eyes fluttered closed, and she leaned into his touch, allowing herself to savor the unfamiliar yet thrilling sensation.
When his hand closed around her soft, firm breast, a delicate squeeze sent a shiver through her body, tightening every nerve.
