A howl of wind slightly woke me up from my slumber but the cold breeze that accompanied it sent goose bumps to my skin. I reluctantly peeled my eyes open and was greeted by a faint light coming out from the early sun; it was still very early morning and I was not in the mood to get up yet.
I tried to move fidgety on the comforter to pull my blanket into me for some cover, but a heavy thing was stopping me to do so. I raised my head slowly to look over what it was to find an arm wrapped warmly around my waist.
Running my eyes from the trail of hair on the forearm to the muscly bicep and further to the cloth-covered broad shoulder, I smiled as Gerald’s face came into view.
His angelic face was a breath of fresh air but I could not help myself roll my eyes at the pillow that was meant to separate us. His left cheek was settled softly on that pillow with his forehead pressed on my back tenderly. He looked peaceful and sweet. I tried resisting the temptation to run my fingers through his morning hair; instead, I found myself running my eyes down to his sexy body, his hard sculpted chest rising and falling slowly as he breathed.
I slightly chuckled at his position that had his back awkwardly arched backward, his body diagonally cutting the comforter, curled like a ball. “This would hurt him later”, I said to myself whilst shaking my head.
Pushing myself up slowly to a sitting position, I reached for my blanket quietly, trying my hardest not to wake Gerald up. I tried to grab for the blanket that was sitting at my feet but my small movements just made Gerald hug my waist much harder and closer into him. I was flushed quickly, thinking that he would not for a second let me get out of his reach, or that he wanted me just there... close to him.
“G-gerald”, I whispered to his ear stammering as my cheeks were turning up to faint crimson.
He peeled his tantalizing brown eyes slightly open to look at me. I looked away from his eyes to fixate my gaze down to my hands that were frantically waving in the air to gesture the position we were caught up in.
He sighed, lifting his head up to look at our position. He groaned at my complaint and crawled up quickly over to his pillow, flipping over his smoking body to face the other side of the tent. I let out a small laugh on his annoyed face and how childish he just was. But my laugh though sounded a little bit forced, trying to cover his addicting effects on me; I was actually slightly relieved that he did moved up – or else I would have had my heart beating fast again!
I spread out my blanket open, tucking myself inside it quickly, blocking the cold air that was hanging in the tent. The warmth of the blanket was welcoming and I sure needed that to warm myself up from the shivers that Gerald added on top with his small sweet gesture.
I tugged the blanket in and was about to close my eyes when I felt Gerald move roughly on his side of the tent. I could feel him turning over his side, moving more and more, flipping over then stopped. Ignoring his internal battle of struggling to get back to sleep, I started to drift off to sleep when my eyes quickly shut open as soon as I felt the pillow between us thrown at the sides and Gerald quickly leaning in onto me, wrapping my wholesome body into his sexy warm body.
“Just what I needed”, he purred to my ear with his oozing-manly morning voice as I was wrapped tightly and safely into his arms.
“Gerald”, I hushed but it came out more of teasing him than complaining of what he was doing. I blinked twice at my seductive tone and said it now a little more firmly, “Gerald”.
