Damain's eyes slowly opened as the darkness of the bedroom came into view. For a few seconds, he remained still, his mind gradually returning to reality while the warmth surrounding his body made it difficult to remember where he was.
He could feel arms wrapped around him from both sides, while someone was lying directly across his chest. When he finally lowered his gaze, he found Racheal, Hazel and Ruby sleeping peacefully around him.
Racheal had one arm wrapped tightly around his waist while Hazel slept against his side and Ruby had practically claimed the remaining space between them. All three looked completely comfortable, their breathing slow and steady as they slept without the slightest awareness that Damian was awake.
