Adonis slowly opened his eyes as the first rays of morning light filtered into the royal bedchamber. The massive bed still carried the musky scent of last night's passion. Sapphira lay curled against his chest, her Sapphire hair spread across his shoulder like a oceanic shit.
Her breathing was soft and steady, one arm draped possessively over his waist.
He gently brushed a strand of hair from her face.
Even in sleep, the Dragon Queen looked majestic.
Sapphira stirred at his touch and opened her eyes.
A small, satisfied smile curved her lips.
"Good morning, my husband," she murmured, voice still husky from sleep and the long night before.
"Good morning, my queen," Adonis replied, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "Did you sleep well?"
"Better than I have in centuries." She stretched against him, her naked body pressing closer. "Though I must admit, I feel a pleasant ache in places I had almost forgotten about."
Adonis chuckled. "I hope I wasn't too rough."
