( POV: ALARA SU WATERS )
I hear some noises and begin to wake up. I hug the pillow tighter and bury my face even more into it, my body feels very supported and warm. I'm loving this. I slept like a baby. It was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a while.
However, I decide to open my eyes because I have work in a few hours. I'm startled when I wake up.
For starters, I forgot that I came to Zane's room. Secondly, the lights shining into the room are blinding me. Also... I'm not hugging a pillow. I'm hugging Zane. He is still asleep.
Every time that we've shared a bed together, he's gotten up before me. He didn't this time. Matter of fact, he's fast asleep.
And none of my fantasies could ever come close to the real deal. I'm lying on my right side, my leg spotted between his thighs. He has one hand resting on my thigh and the other is threaded into my hair. Meanwhile, I have my arm wrapped around his torso and my face buried in his neck.
This is very intimate.
Maybe I was sleeping like this all along and that's why he got up before me. So I wouldn't be embarrassed...
I gently begin to move but I stop when I notice that I'm waking him up. I become rock solid, not moving and not even breathing.
I keep my eyes on him, it's almost impossible to look away. When I move up on his chest, I feel his hand threading further into my hair. It makes me giggle, I don't know why but it does.
It sadly wakes him up, he instantly looks down at me, the source of the noise. I get embarrassed so I squeeze my eyes shut. I hear him chuckle, I feel him chuckle underneath me.
He brushes his thumb over my temple, his fingers softly massaging my skull, "Princess," He hums into my ear. "I know you're up." His hand on my thigh moves up to my waist instead and he positions himself so he can see me better.
I giggle and glance up at him, "Good morning."
He grunts a little, draping both his arms around my waist as he pulls me even closer to him. I laugh and I feel his lips curl up into a smile against my skin. "Good morning, my princess," he mumbles and goosebumps appear all over my skin.
My princess.
Zane flips us around and I laugh but then he spots soft kisses on my neck and I freeze. He keeps them soft but it makes me feel incredibly giddy. I place my hand on his neck while his face is practically buried in mine. When he pulls back to look at me, I drag my hand down to his cheek, "I didn't know that you woke up this energetic."
For a moment, it seems like he's going to kiss me. And then he flips us around again, hugging me to his chest. His hand is on my waist while I spot mine underneath my chin to look up at him, "Do you know what time it is?"
