Kael woke up feeling more at peace than he had in a very long time, and for the first time in his life, he had a woman sleeping comfortably in his arms.
Although he still hadn't gotten the chance to enjoy the intimacy he craved with Jasmine, simply having her in his bed, nestled against his chest with his arms wrapped securely around her, was already more fulfilling than he could have imagined.
