**Dillon''s POV **


    Harper is an angel, or maybe a devil is a more fitting description, because seeing her in these tiny pieces of fabric


    makes me want to sin.


    I feel bad for looking at her whilst she sleeps, but I can''t pull my eyes from her. She had fallen asleep about an hour ago. I know I should leave and go to my room, but she kicked off the covers and turned onto


    She is not very tall, maybe just over five feet, but sotnehow her legs seem to go on for miles in these short shorts. Her skin, like wless porcin, makes her look delicate, but I know my girl possesses great strength.


    Archie fell asleep around the same time that Harper did, and I feel sorry for him. He is missing this beautiful sight. If I wasn''t trying my best to be a man worthy of a woman like this, then I''d snap a picture of her look at it every day.


    Despite relieving myself in the shower earlier, my cock has remained rock hard for most of the evening. I crave her, but I want her to crave me just as much before we bond


    I know she is nervous about having sex for the first time. I am too, although I do my best to seem confident. The thought of hurting her terrifies me, and what if I do it wrong and she hates it?


    Harper moves again, rolling onto her back and damn, her tits are perfect. I can just make outs the small rise of her nipples through the thin fabric of her top and I lick my lips as I imagine sucking one of the sensitive buds into my mouth.


    Will she gasp as I do it, like she did when Archie had teased her earlier? Maybe she will give


    me


    one of those sweet moans like she had when I''d massaged her feet. That has to be my new favourite sound.


    My eyes travel up to her face. She purses her lips and creases her brow in a frown. Is something bothering her? Is she having a bad dream?


    Maybe she feels me watching her somehow. I should leave and let her sleep without me watching over her with my impure thoughts.


    I push the covers back and go


    to move, but before I can, Harper rolls towards me, her hand resting


    on my chest and one of her legs hooking over mine. She makes a small sound of contentment and now there is no way I am leaving this bed.


    I close my eyes, enjoying the feel of Harper''s body pressed to mine and listen to her steady breathing until it lulls me to sleep.


    When I open my eyes again, golden light filters through a half-


    open curtain. The room is quiet except for the -sound of slow, steady breathing.


    I''mid on my side


    in a ce I don''t immediately recognise. Then my eyes focus on the figure beside me and I smile.


    Curled next to me is Harper. Her raven hair spilled across the pillow and a strand resting against her cheek. She''s still asleep, peaceful, her breathing soft and even.


    I don''t move. I''m too scared I''ll wake her before I''ve had a chance to savour this moment. Instead, I just watch her in awe and disbelief. This beautiful woman is mine, and this is the sight I get to wake up to for t "You are so beautiful," I whisper, unable to stop myself from telling her, even if she can''t hear me.


    Harper stirs, and I hold still, worried I woke her, but she only snuggles closer.


    I reach up and brush the hair from her face, my fingertips barely touching her skin. She sighs, and this time, her eyes flutter open.


    "Hey," she says with a sleepy smile.


    "Hey."


    "Did you sleep?" She asks.


    "Eventually. You?" I ask, even though I know she did because I''d spent an unhealthy amount of time watching her do it.


    "Mm-hmm, pretty well, actually."


    Archie shifts behind her, and his arm wraps around her waist


    as he presses against her back with a mumbled" Good morning."


    Harper smiles, holding his hand over her abdomen.


    "This is nice," she hums.


    "Yeah. It is. I think morning cuddles should be the first rule of living together," I nod.


    Archie kisses her shoulder, and she closes her eyes with a contented smile. I lean forward, cing a kiss on her forehead, and she hums in approval. I wish we didn''t have sses today so we could spend all day like this.


    The three of usy there for some time in silence, just enjoying the peacefulpany and


    closeness. That is until Harper''s phone rings with the sound of her rm.


    She lets out a disgruntled groan before sitting up to look for the offending phone.


    "Where the hell is it?" she curses before crawling down the bed.


    My eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets at the perfect view of her ass as she crawls away from us.


    "Damn," Archie whispers, and we share a look that speaks a thousand words about the sight she just gifted us.


    Harper finds her phone in her walk-in wardrobe and shuts off the rm.


    "I''m going to take a quick shower before breakfast. Hopefully, we can get to the dining hall before it gets too busy," she says from inside the wardrobe, where I assume she is gathering her clothes for the day.


    "Okay, but if you don''t fancy facing the dining hall this moming, I can go down and bring us all something back,'' I offer.


    Harper appears in the doorway and gives me a grateful smile. "Thanks,


    but I think I need to face it. The more I go there, the easier it will get."


    I want to protect her and remove anything


    that causes her distress, like eating in the busy dining hall, but I also want to support her as she tries to work through any issues she feels she needs to face.


    Less than twenty minutester, I''m dressed in my uniform with my new red tie, and sitting on the couch with Archie. Harper emerges from her bedroom in her uniform, and I''m speechless. I thought no one could make a uniform like this look so


    damn hot, but Harper does.


    Her dark hair goes really well with the red tie, and the stark white of the shirt gives her a little colour to her skin.


    The ck skirtnds at her mid thigh and she wears ck socks pulled up over her knee, showing just a small amount of leg, as if trying to tease me.


    "Ready?" Archie asks.


    "Yes," she nods, blowing out a breath.


    I''m going to be the envy of everyone on the unbonded table when they see the beauty I''m having breakfast with this morning.
