He had been awake for almost thirty minutes before she had stirred looking at her nakedness as she slept. Turk was used to getting up early, very early, and thus even when he stayed up late, like last night, he still awoke from his slumber well before dawn.

If so, he knew he had been lucky to have her as his first Elven bedmate. He smiled at her and stroked her hair and kissed her lightly on her bare shoulder. He was enjoying the moment though he wondered a bit what she meant about being broken and being healed but as he had to go he resisted the urge to question her.
