A single thought echoed through Aliana's mind.
'Where…?'
Her body burned so hot… as though she had been set aflame.
Her breathing came in harsh, uneven bursts, but this time, each breath met something solid… something firm against her.
With her vision still shrouded in darkness, all she could do was move her limbs to get a better sense of her surroundings. Her hands, which were tucked against her chest, twitched before finally reaching out, only to come into contact with a warm, rigid, and sculpted surface.
At the feel of it, she stilled. She moved her body slightly, only to realise she was wrapped against something strong and heavy.
'Wait…' she thought, her brow creasing. 'Am I…. still dreaming?'
Unable to move her upper body, she shifted her legs slowly, only for her knees to brush against something hot, hard, and long.
"Mm, what is that? A… cucumber?" she mumbled sleepily.
