Rays of sunlight filtered naturally, awakening Lithe better than any alarm could, he checked the clock on the wall.
It was 8:00 am and he still had two hours to eat breakfast and finish packing before the time that Zen was set to arrive according to their schedule.
No doubt their schedule would have to be adjusted to accommodate the fact that Zen had spent the night at Lithe's villa, just the thought of what they did made him blush fiercely.
Lithe sat up slowly, he could see his reflection on the ceiling mirror and he could not believe how many bruises and teeth marks were left all over his body.
Even his bottom felt totally swollen and it was so sensitive to touch to the point where it was too painful to sit without feeling some discomfort.
He had things to do, Lithe couldn't afford to waste time thinking about things he could not change.
Instinctively, Lithe knew that he would feel better after a nice warm bath.
