Morning light, pale and soft, seeps through the gaps in the dusty curtains, painting lazy stripes of gold across the disordered bed. Your limbs are still entangled with Reyna's, her leg a heavy, possessive weight across your hips. You move with glacial care, inching away, sliding a pillow beneath her thigh to take your place. You're halfway to freedom, the cool floorboards under your feet, when you freeze. Her dark eyes, hazy with sleep one moment, sharpen to a blade's edge the next. Her arm snakes out with predatory speed, cinching around your waist and dragging you back into the warmth of the sheets and her. 'Stay,' she murmurs, her voice gravel-rough from sleep, pulling you flush against the solid heat of her body. What other choice is there?
