Chapter 48: Morning

Anya cried in Aiden's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks, soaking Aiden's pajamas.

She couldn't forget the nightmares that plagued her sleep.

The dream was so real that it made her sweat and her clothes were wet, but she didn't dare to move, she didn't dare to get out of bed and leave Aiden, she needed Aiden to be by her side.

"It's just a dream, it's okay......" Aiden hugged Anya's body and gently stroked her hair.

He stroked Anya's hair, stroked her back, and whispered to calm her down.

"I.... I dreamed that we were locked up in a dark place. That place...... That place...... It's so dark that you can't see anything. Suddenly, a fire engulfed us and burned everything up......" Anya said in a choked voice.

Her head rested limply on Aiden's shoulders, and her hands were still tightly clasped around Aiden, as if she didn't want to let go of Aiden's protection.

Her tears were still flowing, because the fear that haunted her had not gone away.

Hearing Anya's story, Aiden just gently stroked her head.

"My head hurts......" Anya muttered. The more she tried to recall the dream, the more intense the pain became, and her head felt as if it was about to crack.

"It's just a nightmare. Don't think about it. Look at me here, with you!" Aiden continued to stroke her hair and whispered.

However, the pain in Anya's head did not lessen, but worsened.

She broke free from Aiden's embrace, covered her head, and cried in pain, "My head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to crack!" Anya clutched her head hard, trying to relieve the pain.

Aiden immediately stood up and turned on the lights in the room, lighting up the room.

Then, he went back to the bed, hugged Anya in his arms, held Anya's hand, and didn't let her scratch her head hard, not wanting Anya to hurt herself.

He whispered in Anya's ear, trying to make her forget the nightmare: "Shhh...... Close your eyes and calm down, I'm here and I won't leave you. ”

Aiden's deep voice rang in Anya's ears, calming her heart a little.

She took a few deep breaths, tried to calm herself, and buried her head back on Aiden's shoulder, trying to ease the pain in her head.

Aiden's shoulders were her only shelter.

The two remained motionless, and although half an hour had passed, they were still in each other's arms.

Anya's head was still buried in Aiden's shoulder, and Aiden's hand continued to gently caress Anya's hair.

The pain in the head lessened and the crying subsided.

Anya closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep in Aiden's arms.

They were immersed in silence, soothing silence, there was no sound in the room, only the sound of their regular breathing.

Aiden looked down at the face of the woman in his arms, her eyes looking puffy and her eyelashes still wet.

Despite the cold air conditioning in the room, her forehead was sweating a little and her eyes were closed, but her hands did not let go of Aiden's body, and she did not want to lose the only support.

As soon as Aiden saw Anya, his face softened.

He really wanted to protect this woman.

Perhaps as fate would have it, his cold heart would only melt because of his little sun, Anya.

Just hugging her tightly and smelling her faint scent, joy seemed to well-spring up in my heart.

It's as simple as that.

Finally, the two of them hugged and fell asleep as if they were afraid of losing each other......

————

In the early morning, a warm light enters the room, waking Anya from her sleep.

She opened her eyes and found herself still leaning on Aiden's body, her hands still tightly wrapped around Aiden's waist.

They were still in the same position as when they fell asleep yesterday, and they didn't seem to want to separate.

The handsome man's face was right in front of her.

Aiden was still asleep, his eyes still closed, and his breathing was regular.

Anya looked thoughtfully at Aiden's face and saw the man's pointed nose and unusually curly eyelashes.

How lucky she was that every morning Anya woke up to see this incredibly handsome face.

Seeing that face, she remembered the nightmare last night, when Aiden hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down.

Aiden was so gentle with her.

She took Aiden's hand and tried to pull her hand from Aiden's waist.

However, Aiden's arms suddenly wrapped around her, pulling her body closer.

There is no distance between the two, and they hugged each other tightly like this last night.

However, it was because Anya had a nightmare. At the moment, Anya was not panicked by the nightmare and was completely awake.

As a result, her face immediately turned red.

Aiden buried his face in Anya's shoulder, and his lips were smiling when he saw that Anya's ears were also red.

Anya could feel the corners of Aiden's mouth curl over her shoulder, and she slapped the man's arm in a fit of rage.

Even so, the punch felt soft in Aiden's hands.

Anya realized that Aiden was making fun of her, and Aiden still didn't want to let go of his embrace, and muttered to herself while hugging Anya, "Good morning...."

Anya felt embarrassed in Aiden's arms, especially now that they were still in bed.

"Good morning." She replied softly.

"I had a wonderful dream last night about you!" Aiden said as he hugged Anya's body tightly, his voice a little hoarse, because he had just woken up from his sleep.

It's just that the hoarse voice sounded very sexy to Anya's ears, making her body tremble slightly.

Anya was silent, not knowing what to do.

Aiden dreamed of her?

Or is it a sweet dream?

Hearing this, her cheeks turned even redder.

"Do you want to know what my dream was last night?" Aiden whispered in her ear.

Anya was stunned when she heard this question.

Does she want to know Aiden's dreams?

Without waiting for Anya to answer, Aiden was already ahead of her, "Hmm...... I'll show you!" Aiden said in a voice that teased her ears.

He let go of the hand holding Anya, turned around and moved onto Anya's body, locking the woman completely under him.

His two powerful arms blocked Anya's body, making it impossible for the woman to move or escape.

Meanwhile, from below, Anya could see the man's chest from his loose pajamas.

She struggled to look away so as not to look at the scene in front of her, and she felt embarrassed.

Aiden's face sank slowly, getting closer and closer to hers, his gaze falling on her lips, staring at her tightly.

Does Aiden kiss her?

"Oh my God, my heart isn't strong anymore......" Anya thought to herself, closing her eyes tightly.

Although her eyes were closed, she could still feel Aiden's face continue to press against her as his breath drew closer.

As their faces drew closer, Aiden kissed her, but instead of her lips, it was her forehead.

Aiden kissed her lightly on the forehead, causing Anya to be stunned again.

Then, Aiden got out of bed and walked to the bathroom with a mischievous smile on his face.

Anya could only stare at Aiden as she closed the bathroom door with her forehead covered.

She just found out that the man was teasing her!

Anya tossed and turned on the bed, feeling very annoyed.

Her heart was beating so fast, it turned out that Aiden was just teasing her.

She's really angry!

But thanks to Aiden, she was able to forget last night's nightmare, forget the pain in her head.

Thanks to Aiden, she forgot those bad memories......
