When morning came, Seren woke up unable to move. A strong arm was still surrounding her waist, keeping her in place, and it belonged to no other than the red-eyed man sleeping next to her. She wanted to get up as she had enough of this skinship. She felt her right shoulder hurting a little due to sleeping in the same position for so long.
With deliberate care, she held his hand and tried to lift his arm up to get out of the bed, but then heard him say in a low husky voice something that sent shivers down her spine.
"My Queen, you should not move if you don't want to be in trouble."
'Did I wake him? And I was so careful…' Seren's body could not help but freeze. 'Seems like he will punish me for disturbing his sleep. He should have just slept away from me in the first place so I wouldn't disturb him. I am not at fault, but he blames me for it now.'
"Apologies, Your Majesty," she said as she tried to calm herself, "but I need to get out of bed."
