Chapter 133. A Surprise Trip

ARDEN

My head felt like someone had stuffed it with clouds, then set the clouds on fire.

I didn’t know what to do with myself. My thoughts were slow, dragging themselves through my brain. I couldn’t even remember how I fell asleep.

Then I remembered the dream.

In it, I had… oh, god.

I had actually professed that I missed Cade’s body.

It was a nightmare. An actual nightmare.

I sighed in relief, pressing a hand to my face. It was just a dream. It wasn’t real. I could still face him with dignity.

I yawned and rolled over, seeing my mate standing shirtless on the balcony.

The early light spilled over his skin, highlighting every muscle. His hair was a little messy, his expression easy, and when he turned and caught me staring, he smiled.

I gulped.

Delicious.

“Had a great sleep?” he asked, leaning against the railing like he didn’t know he was committing a crime just by existing like that.

I nodded wordlessly.
