章 156: Chapter 65 - Mariano (1)

My mouth feels dry yet I'm the most relaxed as I've ever been for the last…I don't even know how long. My skin welcomes the smooth and cool material of my sheets. Without even peeking, I know I'm still naked—my cock twitches underneath the blanket as if to prove a point.

What I don't like, though, is feeling light like something is missing from me. I reach for my wife beside me. She's what's missing. But my hand touches air and then a slightly warm space on the bed where she's supposed to be.

My eyes snap open, immediately scanning the room, my instincts on high alert. It's so calm. Where is she? We fell asleep after I cleaned her up. A quick check on my watch from the bedside table says it's almost four in the afternoon. It's only been two hours. Slowly, I reach for the headboard where I keep my gun. A small movement from the left catches my attention just as my hand closes around the handle of the gun.
