Reed's Pov
Opening my eyes to see Nicholas lying beside me is a lovely sight. He was lying on his stomach, the sheets pulled down around his hips, with the soft morning light highlighting the tattoos on his back. It begins at the back of his neck, with a large cross, and features barbed thorns spiraling down his spine. There are dark lightning designs across the shoulder and chest, with chaotic veins on his flawless skin, creating a wild yet demure appearance.
