章 39: thirty nine

Softly, my eyes fluttered open and adjusted to my blurry vision.

I found myself against a bare sturdy chest, in the arms of the man I had spent the night with.

Just thinking about it made my heart flutter and I felt tingly all over.

He was sound asleep, eyes closed and his chest rising and depressing as he breathed softly.

His facial features were so defined, his eyelashes were long and his lips soft.

Just looking at him made me smile like an idiot.

Then he moved a bit, his arms that were wrapped around me pulled me in closer. It felt so nice, being in his embrace. It felt so warm. I don't know why I felt so safe but I knew I was happy.

The sun was already out but being in his arms felt so nice, I drifted into sleep again.

I woke up again and found myself in an empty bed. I got up, grabbing my nightgown and putting it on, I went out of my room.

Lexus's room was slightly open and I saw he was in there. Frantically pacing around.
