~Belinda's POV
I woke up the next morning feeling sore everywhere, but it wasn't the kind of pain I hated. It was the kind that made me smile to myself quietly. My body ached, yes, but my heart… my heart felt light. I stretched lazily on the bed, letting my fingers run across the sheets.
But then, it hit me. Damon didn't come to the room.
My chest tightened at that thought. Last night had been so full, so heavy, so unforgettable. And still, he hadn't shown up. I blinked a few times, feeling my throat burn a little. Why didn't he come? Was I not enough? Was I only good enough for Kael and Rowan and not for him? Was Lisa better than I?
"Good morning, beauty," Rowan's deep voice came softly from beside me. His lips brushed against my shoulder, making me shiver.
"Morning," I whispered, trying not to sound hurt.
Kael stirred too, his arm looping around my waist. He pulled me close, pressing a soft kiss to my cheek. "You look beautiful even when you're half asleep."
