Ember woke up the next day with Aiden's arm wrapped possessively around her waist.
After last night's events, she had fallen asleep. She didn't feel it when Aiden picked her up. She didn't know when he cleaned her or when they went back to the room. All she knew was that she woke up clean.
She turned to look at the man who hadn't woken up yet. She smiled softly, remembering last night. Shaking her head slightly, she thought to herself, I really shouldn't make this guy jealous.
Yet at the same time, she wondered if she should try another way to get him angry. The contradictory feeling made her laugh.
"Seems I didn't do a good job last night." Having just woken up, his voice was gravelly, and Ember found it intoxicating.
She noticed the difference in their personalities after Aiden was linked to the Covenant Engine. Whether he was always this jealous or not, Ember thought it was a change. He wasn't usually so aggressive.
