Kapitel 242: Not easy to beat

She felt the bed slightly shifted, making her aware that she was not alone anymore in her room. Then a light kiss touched her cheeks before it was gone again. She slowly opened her eyes to see who it was.

"Sorry, I did not mean to wake you up." She heard in her sleepy state, but she recognized it anywhere. At least she knew that she was not dreaming. "Go back to sleep. I'll change out of these clothes." The voice continued to tell her.

She closed her eyes again, not being able to focus her vision on anything in particular, satisfied that she already knew who it was. And somehow, her nose could also identify the scent that only one person possessed.

Then, after a few minutes, the bed moved again, and then a heavy arm wrapped itself around her waist and pulled gently closer to the warm body behind her.

"I'm sorry I am late," Alex said once more before he buried his head in the crook of her shoulders.
