Kana woke up to the soft rustling of blankets and a faint, unfamiliar warmth pressed against both sides of her body.
For a blissful moment, she lay still, eyes half-lidded, feeling strangely refreshed.
The gentle breathing of the two figures beside her added a rhythm to the morning stillness, and the sunlight streaming through the curtains painted golden streaks on the ceiling.
Then the memories from last night hit her like a bucket of ice water.
Her face went up in flames.
'Did that really happen?'
Her heart skipped. Irielle marking her neck. Lysera following suit, flustered and awkward. The heat and passion between them…
The quiet warmth in the dark, the closeness, the way she had let it all happen without a second thought.
Her entire body tensed. She slipped out of bed as slowly and carefully as she could manage, careful not to disturb either of them.
Her feet hit the floor and she all but darted into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
