Sandy's POV
A low groan escaped my lips as consciousness slowly returned. My shoulders ached from staying in one position too long, muscles protesting against the stillness that must have lasted for hours.
The discomfort vanished the moment I registered the electric current dancing beneath my skin. A gentle pressure pulsed behind my temples, accompanied by something that felt like a soft rumble in the depths of my mind.
Something new had awakened inside me. Foreign yet familiar, like finding a missing piece I never knew I'd lost.
My eyes fluttered open to find strong arms wrapped around my shoulders and waist. Heat bloomed in my chest at the sight.
We lay tangled together on the bed, his grip fierce and possessive, as though he feared I might vanish if he loosened his hold. When I attempted to shift slightly, his arms only tightened their hold, refusing to grant me even an inch of freedom.
