Davina's POV
I drifted awake gradually, warmth spreading through my limbs as the previous night's memories flooded back. A bashful smile crept across my face while my eyelids slowly parted.
I relived how Irvin had caressed me, the perfect balance of tenderness and desire in his touch. His fingers had traced my skin as though I were something precious, something worth treasuring.
Rolling my head to the side, my smile widened as heat bloomed in my cheeks from the recollection. My fingertips grazed the mattress where Irvin had lain, but found only cool emptiness. Puzzled, I pushed myself upright, pulling the sheet against my chest.
That's when I spotted him.
Irvin stood on the balcony, his frame relaxed against the metal barrier. Dawn's golden rays sculpted his muscular form, illuminating his wide shoulders and naked torso. Wearing nothing but underwear, his back faced me as he gazed down at the sprawling city.
My heart expanded with joy.
