Chapter 176: A serious Task

Brax woke up to a jarring noise. His hand instantly flew and silenced the cell phone. The alarm Jenna had set was going off.

Checking his own phone, he saw it was 2:00 AM.

Sprawled out across his chest was his still slightly tipsy wife. She was hugging him tightly.

"Ugh, I don't won't to get up." She whined.

"You don't have to. We can stay here." Brax said while pulling the blankets up and running his hand down her bare back.

She bit him. "It's your fault I have to go to Raze's selection. Otherwise, I could go back to sleep."

"But I have such an amazing wife that she is willing to attend the events I am unable to, in my place. How did get so lucky to have this amazing empress look my way?"

"Quit trying to butter me up. I said I would go for you so I will."

"Then I should at least finish my time in the nine hells." Brax said, whipping the covers off of them.
