Love with a twist
Ava's POV:
I didn't know waking up in someone's arms, held protectively, could make me feel so cherished. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat under my cheek, his arms wrapped securely around me, and his flawless, peaceful face made something inside me stir—a feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time. Ugh, great. Now he's making me all corny.
Unable to resist, I traced the arch of his brow and the curve of his lashes with my finger, my touch feather-light. "Thank you," I whispered, barely audible, "for being there, for making me feel so special all the time."
