I woke up with a gasp, my cheeks burned a bright shade of red as my dream cemented itself inside of my brain instead of fleeing with the morning light as most dreams did.
After snapping at Rowan yesterday, he didn't stop or leave. Instead, he was surprisingly gentle, helping me learn to keep my balance and hold all the new weight. By the end of the night I was confidently walking and even breaking out into small jogs.
We were out there for hours and by the time the exhaustion began to weight deeply on me, he told me to go to bed and took off deeper into the woods.
In my dream however, he didn't leave. Instead, we shifted back, both naked in front of each other. The pull was undeniable, and it felt so real as his hands glided over my skin. I could still feel it now if I closed my eyes.
"Stop it!" I snapped to myself, dragging my body out of bed.
My skin was warm and my sheets were soaked with sweat.
