Kyrell was a light sleeper. He'd wake up whenever Sienna moved or stirred in her sleep and whisper sweet nothings to calm her down. This continued for a while until Sienna slipped into a deep sleep without any nightmares.
It was only when the rays of sunlight peeked into the room and fell on Sienna's face that she moved again and Kyrell woke up instantly.
Kyrell glanced at her, worried that she was having nightmares again. But the woman remained still as she continued to sleep. Surprisingly, Sienna had let go of his shirt sometime at night. She wasn't clinging to him anymore.
Waiting for a few more seconds, Kyrell gazed at her, observing her in this proximity. He had always considered her to be beautiful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been attracted to her.
Now that he was this close to her, he couldn't stop the ripples in his heart and his lips stretched into a doting smile.
