Blue's POV

Fluttering my eyes opened, a contented smile graced my lips, as I stared at Wilder's face. I listened for a minute to his chest rising and falling like the tide of a subtle sea.

I watched his face up close for a few more minutes before deciding to exit his bedroom. I need to start investigating the tax issue, and I can't lay in bed with Wilder all day.

Although I really wish I could, but for that to happen, I have to trash my sense of justice.

With a little heaviness in my chest, I pulled myself out of bed and sat still for a second, because I had suddenly felt dizzy. Then I attempted to stand up once more, but my tired self wasn't in my way this time— Wilder was.

"Leaving my bed so soon?" He questioned, and I could feel myself twitch almost immediately.

I rolled my eyes and turned back to face him. "You were asleep the last time I checked."

He rested his head on my shoulder, then slowly planted kisses on the blade of my shoulder and I found myself falling into his arms.
