Chapter 226: Big Mystery

Sometime later Lucas stirred from the bed. "Bella?" He called her name. Recalling how she spelled the name in her drunken state brought a rare smile to his usual poker face. He waited for her to respond and when she didn't, he lifts his head so he could look at her only to find her peacefully sleeping with her cute little mouth slightly parted open.

He swallowed deep and hard as his hot gaze survey her delicate countenance. Her high cheekbones were tainted in red and her cute small lips swollen from the aftermath of their passionate love making. She's effortlessly beautiful even in her sleep and her state of undress made the temperature inside the room feel like a sauna.

"Lovely," he mumbled under his breath, brushing the tip of his fingers on her smooth porcelain skin. 

He can look at her forever and not feel tired at all. Lucas thought to himself with a sudden jolt in his chest.
