By the time Aisha woke up, it is already nine o'clock in the evening. Letting out a soft moan as she rubs the sleepiness from her eyes, Aisha realized that both of them had fallen asleep after three more rounds, and Lucian held her in a spooning position. Aisha let out a sigh as she become vaguely aware of the muscular chest and abdomen pressed against her back, and strong arms wrapped tightly in her small waists. And the thing is, Lucian's one hand is groping one of Aisha's breasts, squeezing it subconsciously in his sleep as his flaccid girth was rubbing her buttocks.
This... Aisha's mouth twitched in irritation as Lucian slept peacefully beside her. Gently moving her body to face him so as to not wake him, Aisha gazed at the handsome face of Lucian as he sleep.
His features are soft and relax when he's asleep. He's more handsome compare to his hardened, guarded look. Though, he exuded a sense of danger and mysteriousness when he's in his usual cold and blank expression, earning the attention of women despite knowing how ruthless he can be.
"I wonder what kind of dream he is having right now." Aisha whispered softly, barely audible, as she watched him smiled in his sleep.
Unknowingly, Aisha lifted her hand and gently carress Lucian's soft look with her fingertips.
His thick eyebrows, his closed eyes, his pointed nose, and stopping in his kissable mouth which is swollen and still wet from... Aisha rather not say anything about it.
He looks like a sleeping angel, Aisha scoffed, but a dàmn demon when awake.
Thinking of what happened just a few hours ago, Aisha couldn't help but to blush in shame. She... begged rather pathetically for him to stop.
And it is an insult to her ego!
This guy was seriously an insatiable beast!
He's completely different from the Lucian she knew.
Not once did Aisha expect her first time to be this... intense.
And...
Never mind.
Aisha lightly poked herself on the head, shooking those "disturbing thoughts". She realized that her head is still a little bit muddled.
A good warm shower can relax and clear one's mind, she thought as she tried to wiggle her way out of Lucian's deadly gripped.
Once Aisha was out of his embrace, Lucian groans softly in his sleep, arms reaching out, probably to find the warmth of Aisha's body.
Seeing this, Aisha could feel her heart melt with the warmth she is feeling right now.
Chuckling softly, Aisha took the pillow she used and placed it beside Lucian. Lucian intinctually hugged the pillow as he breathed Aisha's scent.
Aisha noticed the small dark circle below Lucian's eyes and she couldn't help but to sigh frustratedly and give him a soft pat on the head.
If he's feeling tired already then why don't he just stop and rest, Aisha thought as she went to the walk-in-closet to retrieve a new set of clothes.
The last thing she wants is to walk in nothing but a robe in her body in front of Lucian. Even though he is still sleeping.
Aisha sighs softly as the warm water hit her body, calming and relaxing her tense body.
She stayed for a good hour in the bathroom before she went out wearing a white loose cropped top over her black sports bra, and a black sports shorts. Her hair is damp as she dries it with a towel.
Then she noticed that Lucian wasn't on the bed. He must'd woken up and take a bath somewhere.
Good, Aisha sighed, it was a good thing that he didn't barge into the bathroom and...
Urgh, get rid of evil thoughts Aisha!
She scolded herself before she felt her stomach grumbles in hunger so she went down to get some foods to satisfy her demanding stomach.
But to her shock, she was greeted by the delicious smelling foods. "Well, I should've expect it from you."
"I did tire you so much," Lucian winced as placed a plateful of carbonara unto the table. "And I should compensate you for making you starved."
"Hmph, it was a good thing that you know it." She scoffed as she take a seat. Lucian served her some carbonara, a slice of lasagna and pepperoni pizza and seasoned fried chicken, and poured her a glass of water.
Staring at the mouth-watering food before her, Aisha licked the corner of her mouth before devouring the food.
Seeing her eat her food a little bit faster than her usual speed, Lucian felt a little bit guilty.
He will try to control his desire and urges next time.
...
He'll try.
Hopefully.
They ate in silence with Lucian constantly stealing some glances towards Aisha. Up until now his mind couldn't wrap up the fact that he had made love with Aisha.
With the woman he always longed for.
With the woman he loves.
It seems so unreal. Too good to be true.
Maybe it was one of the reason why he couldn't stop touching her.
Just to assure himself that it was real and he's not just dreaming.
But... looking at the love bites and purple bruises in her skin, Lucian knew that it was real. And it happened.
"You make my life worth living."
Suddenly, her words rang in his ears; melting his heart over and over again.
It wasn't the cliché "I love you", but it held more than just love.
Her words... told him more. That he meant more to her.
"You are the light of my life."
And he knew that she also felt the same way when he uttered those words.
I love yous aren't needed to express their feelings with each other.
Just those words are enough to tell how much they mean to the other one.
And for them whose love from their parents are taken away from them, who grew up in a bloody and cruel environment...
Those words... are more than enough for them.
