The next morning, Rowena was awakened by a multitude of delicious smells that wafted into the room from a sumptuous breakfast feast that was being spread out in the sitting room just outside their bedchamber.
Rowena stretched and yawned leisurely until she smelled the breakfast repast. Then she jumped up excitedly and nearly pushed Daimon off the bed in her haste to get up. Her impulsive movements resulted in her elbowing him in the ribs and kicking him in the shin.
Groggy and a little disoriented, he grabbed her and held her fast as he snarled "What do you think you're doing?"
Embarrassed, she realized she was pinned on top of him. He realized it too and quickly let her go, basically shoving her off of him in embarrassment. He really had no intention of hurting her. It was his warrior instinct to defend himself. And he was still getting used to sharing his personal space so intimately with another person.
"I'm sorry" she grinned sheepishly. "I smelled food."
