If she were being honest with herself, she’d have admitted to being awake a while earlier, but something kept her from wanting to let her eyelids slip open, teetering on the edge of sleep and clinging to it for just a little bit longer. She had a feeling he would be able to see through her tired lie. She could feel the warmth of sunlight from the window heating her face and when she felt the soft pressure of something plush over her hipbone through the thin cotton that covered her, she sighed. After her lashes fluttered open, she nearly gasped at the sight of her husband resting his temple against her hip where she’d felt his kiss a moment earlier. He looked impossibly innocent down there with his golden gaze peering up at her and some of his black waves spilling onto her lap. If she didn’t know better, she would think there was no way this soft man could make soldiers shake in their boots, but she’d for herself how wicked that tender gaze could be. Poppy could have sworn that that she saw some warmth reflected in his soft strands and she lifted her fingertips to stroke through his hair with the delicacy of a glass feather, as though to check. “You win. I’m awake.”
