Chapitre 10: Chapter 10: Get Rid of the Girl

Cade was relieved to wake up with Fiona sprawled out in his bed with her hair flopped over her face and her leg hiked up over his thigh.

She was absolutely radiant with the dim light from the foggy morning touching her bare skin. He wanted to touch every soft crevice of her body. Instead, he opted to carefully wipe the hair from her face and kiss her lightly on the forehead.

She blinked awake and immediately hid her face in his side. "Wait, don't look at me. I'm probably all puffy," she mumbled sleepily.

Cade chuckled and laid back against his pillow. He peeked down at her, hoping she would stop being shy if he didn't look at her so intently.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked.

Fiona stole a glance up at him but buried her face in his side again. "Yes," she said, her voice warm and muffled.

It was cute to see this side of her. She was so eager and confident before that this bashful act had surprised him.
