When it was time to go to bed, Kyzi wasn't sure what was going to happen. He figured it was better to see if Gracie wanted to do anything before potentially making a move.
She came out of the bathroom in her pajamas looking particularly adorable as she dried her hair with a towel. She smiled at him when she caught him staring. "Bathroom's yours. Sorry for taking so long."
That wasn't the issue here at all. Not knowing what to do was.
Ultimately, that didn't end up being a problem because she already seemed to be asleep by the time he came out. Kyzi sighed. He didn't know what he had been expecting.
He curled himself around her and tried to be content that he could do this much now. He felt better being close to her.
Gracie wasn't his mate yet but she would be eventually, wouldn't she? He had already staked his claim a long time ago whether she realized it or not. Ever since she first agreed to be his princess.
