She woke up with a start, perspiring heavily as she pulled up the covers to her chest.
She took a deep sigh as she tried to take her mind off things. Lately, her story decidedly turned darker.
And somehow it has been affecting her. Understandably so since she is currently living with someone so close to the idea she had for a male lead.
She glanced at the door as it opened, her husband walking towards her with a tray of pancakes. The wonderful aroma filled the air and she felt her heart skip a beat as he smiled.
"Good morning, queenie," he said, stopping in front of her and placing the tray of food on the bedside table.
"I woke up so late. You should have woken me up. I didn't want to be a bother," she wasn't sure she at least sounded apologetic as she had wanted to.
"Don't worry about it, my queen. You are entitled to some rest after last night's activity. You were exhaustively exhausted," he teased her.
