The Ruler (Roman Republic #1)

Aurelia

I woke up to the sound of the click of the door. It was so quiet I probably wouldn’t have normally noticed it, but I wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place. I meant to let myself out once the fun was over, but I’d collapsed in his big bed and passed the fuck out.

I quickly sat up and looked toward the floor-to-ceiling window that led to the patio. The ceilings were twenty feet high, and the enormous drape of the curtains blocked out most of the sunlight. Some of it peeked through in the center.

“Shit.” I shouldn’t have slept over. Now we had to do the awkward goodbye thing.
