Celeste stared at Dominic's sleeping face. She softly caressed his ear, jawline, and every part of his face.
This was the first time she saw him this peaceful while asleep. In fact, she had never really seen him asleep. He had always stirred up at her first touch.
Tonight was different.
He looked so relaxed and at peace like he had taken off a huge rock off his shoulders after sharing all he shared with her hours ago.
She gently took his arm wrapped around her naked waist away, and rolled away. Dominic stirred, but she paused, ran her fingers through his hair, and kissed his forehead to sooth him.
It worked, and she walked towards the couch. She picked up her pantie from the floor, wore it, and wore his shirt.
She walked towards the floor to ceiling window, and stared out into the world. She wrapped her arms around herself in deep thoughts.
Celeste stared out the window. The city's glow was soft against the night, but none of it reached the storm in her chest.
