Chapter 81: Different Kind Of Training

I opened my eyes, and I was lying down with Listenia tucked into me. There were tears coming from my eyes, but I had no idea where they had come from.

I pulled one of my hands back to wipe my eyes, and Listenia moaned in my arms.

"Go back to sleep; the sun isn't even trying to burn the light away yet," Listenia said and turned to kiss me. "Why do you have glassy eyes? Did you have a bad dream?"

"Not sure. I only remember passing out with you in my arms," I said and kissed her lips, cheek, and neck, wrapping my arms tighter around her.

I felt like something momentous had just happened, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. All I knew was that I wanted Listenia close to me as my heartbeat hard.

"Close your eyes, and I am sure you will be fine. Don't leave until the sun is here. I want to enjoy the moments that I have with you," Listenia said as she pulled the blankets tighter.

I buried my face into her neck, kissing it and closing my eyes.
