The couple who just vented their longing finally slept soundly after they made love passionately. Marie and Nicolae only woke up in the morning after Koi scratched at the door protesting that his master had not yet left the bedroom.
Nicolae opened his eyes first and immediately jumped out of the bed. His sudden movements startled Marie who was lying in his arms. The girl opened her eyes and furrowed her brows for a few seconds before she finally realized that they had woken up late.
"Jeez ... what time is it?" the girl asked as she hurriedly removed the blanket from her body and got up to wear her clothes.
"Ahh ... it's only 8 am," said Nicolae, who was very relieved that they were not that late. He was in shock earlier, thinking he and Marie were just like Alaric and Aleksis, who had only left their room at 3 pm on their wedding day after making love all night long.
