I feel him smile against my skin and I playfully pat his arm. He chuckles before placing anotherkiss on my neck.
“Sleep, my angel. You are safe with me.”
“I know,” I whisper, I feel darkness engulf me as I finally fall asleep in the arms of the man I love.My home.
CHAPTER 26
Aelys
I slowly open my eyes, awakened by Mattheo trying to get out of bed. I let out a whimper and cling to him tighter, making him realize I'm awake. He laughs before lying back down and kissing my temple.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you, angel. Did you sleep well?”
I close my eyes, taking in his scent as I hug him, nodding.
“What time is it?” I mumble in a voice still full of sleep.
“It’s 7:30 am, darling.”
I open one eye and glare at him, making him raise an eyebrow in obvious amusement.
“Where were you going so early?”
He laughs and gently pushes me onto the pillow before placing his body on top of mine. I giggle as his curls tickle my face and he smiles, his eyes shining with joy.
“You know we have class, right, angel?”
I groan and shake my head. “No, come on, I don't want to go.”
He chuckles softly before gently pressing his lips to mine. I sigh against his lips and place my hands on his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair. Just as I'm about to deepen the kiss, he pulls away, raising an eyebrow and smiling.
“Oh no, seducing me won't work. I know you're still sore, my love.”
“Who said anything about sex? I just wanted to kiss you.” I roll my eyes and try to push him away, but he doesn't budge.
“Sure you did, darling.”
I glare at him and his smile widens before he starts tickling me, making me howl with laughter. I try to get away from him but obviously fail. I beg him to stop and he finally does after a few minutes.
I'm panting from laughing, he looks at me, a genuine smile on his face. He places a quick kiss on my lips before standing up and heading to put on his uniform. He begins to undress, I lean back on my elbows to admire his toned body. He smiles and laughs when he notices.
“Stop staring and get dressed, darling. We're going to be late.”
“Yeah, yeah,” I breathe.
I get out of bed and go get my own uniform. We quickly get dressed, put on our shoes and grab our bags. We leave the dorm, locking it behind us. Mattheo puts an arm around my waist and pulls me against him as we head towards the main building.
“You'll have to tell me about your day yesterday,” I quip.
He nods, promising to do it by the end of the day.
Once we arrive at our destination, we see our friends in the middle of the wizards' table and we go to sit with them. I sit next to Cameron and Mattheo sits on the other side.
“Hey guys!” I smile at them as I take a cup of tea and put two sugars in it.
They exchange a glance before smirking. I frown in confusion and look at Mattheo. He shrugs before smiling back, I roll my eyes.
I raise my cup, ready to take a sip when I'm hit by a bun. I set it down stunned and look at Enzo, who threw it. He raises his hands, feigning innocence, laughing before pointing at his neck.
