The rays from the sun trickle into the room, lighting up the marble floors with oranges, reds and yellows, like flames licking closer and closer to their bed. It’s not the color, however, that startles Laurent. No, it’s the glistening of the crown that sits atop the mirrored dresser. The golden starburst tips catch the morning beams and it shimmers, making his eyes squint. Laurent buries his face against the pillow.
It’s not like he doesn’t have options. He can turn his face away from the crown and stare at something, or rather, someone far more attractive. The King of Akielos is right where he belongs, asleep next to him. Damen isn’t a delicate sleeper, by any means. One of his bare legs, thick and muscular, is draped over the edge of the blanket. His broad, tan chest rises and falls with each breath, his mouth open, dried drool coating the edge of his cheek where it trickled out of his mouth during the evening. It’s an unsightly look for a king, and Laurent can’t help the small smirk which pulls across his lips. Damen pulls his gaze, like Laurent can’t imagine looking at anyone or anything else but him. A scoff slips from his nose while he stares at his lover.
