Chương 24: Chapter Twenty Four.

Ariana's POV -

I dream of warm fingers stroking the bare skin on my stomach. I shiver underneath his touch, the skin erupting into goosebumps immediately.

"Alex," I breathe out, sunlight streaming through the windows and settling around us. The air is crisp with a slight morning chill to it. Underneath the blankets, our bodies are pressed tightly against each other in an effort to stay warm.

"Yes?" He whispers, his lips inches away from my ear. I shiver again, breathing deeply.

"This is a really good dream," I whisper, my body growing heavy. Behind me, he stills before chuckling quietly. His chest vibrates against my back, arms loosening ever so slightly.

"You're not dreaming, hermosa."

My eyes snap open and I freeze, tensing my body up. I can feel my heart begin to thump against my chest as I blink several times, studying my surroundings.
