The tree was decorated, presents were laid out under it, and Daemon was tired. He stretched out in front of the fireplace, flicking a thought at it. A moment later, a fire roared to life, throwing heat into the living room.
Sighing, closed his eyes, basking in the heat and the delicious psychic scent of his wife.
Jaenelle slid into the space between him and the fireplace, wrapping herself in his arms and pillowing her head on his shoulder.
"Daemonar is exhausting," she said quietly.
Daemon made a noncommittal noise of agreement, lacing his fingers with hers.
"But he's down for a nap."
"Mm." Daemon pressed his lips to that delightful place where her neck met her shoulder and inhaled deeply.
She was quiet for a moment. "Are we napping, too?"
He pulled her closer and said nothing, asleep moments later, lulled by the warmth of her body and the flames.
