Layla, slept under the soft covers, shifted restlessly. The weight of impending motherhood pressed on her, making sleep elusive.

Lucius, ever attuned to her needs, noticed her restlessness and joined her on the bed.

Lucius brushed a strand of hair away from Layla's face, his voice a soothing murmur. "Trouble sleeping, love?"

Lucius winked, his fingers dancing on the strings. "Mus
