Lily

Elijah’s still-damp body clung to his clothes as he padded back into the main room. Lily stole glances at him as he moved, watching the lithe muscles bunch and release, watching his wet hair trickle down his neck and chest.

She raised an eyebrow at him as he sat heavily on the nearest rug. She’d awoken shortly after he’d gone into the bathing chamber, and had been waiting for him to return. The cold dinner beside her was making her stomach ache, desperate for food, but she’d wanted to eat with him.

She shuffled to the edge of the bed. “What are you doing down there?”

He frowned up at her. She longed to kiss his damp brow. Lily didn’t understand the urge, but she couldn’t deny it either.

Hi everyone! I am SO sorry for the lack of updates. In the last month I moved house, on top of working full time + overtime... and then I found out I was being made redundant. After a bit (a lot) of panicking, I've decided to write full time! This means that, as of October, I'll be updating multiple times per day Monday to Friday. Thank you so much for your support and patience - it is so, so appreciated. As a small thank you I have a double update for you today, and hopefully more regular updates throughout September. <3
