I watch Emma sleep, it's becoming the next most peaceful thing for me. Her serene features, the gentle rise and fall of her chest, the delicate arch of her eyebrow—all of it captivates me. I observe her slow, steady breaths, a silent reassurance that she's still here, still alive.
The temptation lingers, threatening to pull me under its spell, tempting me to join her. Naked beneath the barely covering duvet, on her petite frame. Every inche of her was a beacon to every dark desire calling me to embrace her, to share in her peaceful sleep. But I can't. I just can't.
After my breakdown in the kitchen, we clung to each other, seeking comfort in the warmth of our embrace until exhaustion claimed her. Gently, I carried her back to the room, where I guided her under the soothing stream of the shower. The water cascaded over her, washing away the remnants of our intense moment together, leaving her refreshed.
