The afternoon sunlight that managed to enter through the open bedroom curtain managed to wake Elena from her sleep.
"Christ!!" Elena screamed when she realized who the owner of the hand that was wrapped around her stomach was.
"Hmmm..."
Elena panicked and immediately tried to push Christian's hand from above her stomach, but her efforts were fruitless. Christian's arms are still entrenched in Elena's stomach.
"I'm still sleepy, Elena. Let's sleep for a bit," Christian said hoarsely as he wrapped his arms around Elena's body.
Elena chokes when she feels Christian's strong embrace on her body. "Christ… it's late," Elena stammered. "I am hungry."
Christian lifts his face from the pillow, steady Elena without blinking. "What time is it now?"
