Morning light spilled through the windows of our nest, painting everything in a soft golden glow. I'd been awake for a while, watching Kaelen sleep. His features were relaxed in slumber, making him look younger, less burdened by the weight of being an Alpha.
I couldn't help myself. Pressed against his hard, warm body, feeling his morning arousal against my hip, a delicious heat pooled between my thighs. Before I could think better of it, I shifted my position slightly, pressing myself against him and moving my hips in slow, deliberate circles.
I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. Maybe he wouldn't notice. Maybe he'd think I was just having a particularly good dream.
A deep chuckle rumbled through his chest. "I know you're awake, little wolf."
I froze, my eyes still closed tight. "No, I'm not."
His large hand slid down my back to cup my bottom, pressing me more firmly against him. "So you're grinding against me in your sleep?"
