Would you like to go on a date with me?: 50
Ava's eyes slowly stirred, fluttering open to be met with the almond-scented messy hair of the King, who had his arms protectively wrapped around her small frame pressing her to his body with a warm blanket wrapped around them like a small cocoon.
" Good morning, " Lucas rasped hearing her sleepily humming, his chest rumbled with a faint chuckle seeing her half-opened eyes drooping again.
Getting to wake up to the sight of the sleeping Queen did, definitely, many magical things to the man.
They were still seated on the couch but much more comfortable than yesterday.
Ava blinked and nuzzled her head a bit more into his neck when she suddenly realised what she was doing that almost made her jump out of Lucas's hold.
But Lucas, upon thinking that she was losing balance, gripped her waist tight and pulled her towards his own body.
" Careful out there, "
" What are you doing here? " Ava yawned unable to keep it in with eyes squinting hard on smiling Lucas, who shrugged.
" What do you think? "
" Did we...did we stay like this all night? " Her eyes strode around the state of the room and came back to rest on Lucas's grin. " Why didn't you wake me up? We slept like this?! "
" I didn't have the heart to wake you up. You looked so cute... " he hummed pinching her nose.
Ava rolled her eyes with a small slap to Lucas's hands.
" Whatever, stop baffling. "
They stayed quiet for a few minutes as if they expected the other to take steps to move away from each other as Ava felt awkward to make the moment uncomfortable and Lucas simply didn't want to move away from her.
But heck, it could've been a further ten minutes more and they didn't move an inch while Ava was wide awake to the core that she could feel Lucas's hot breath softly drifting over her exposed neck.
" So...shall we put an end to the lovey-dovey friendly moment? "
His eyes flew open almost immediately irritated by the way how his mate thought this was friendly and the thought of her wanting to move away strangely gave him bad ideas to be mad at her.
" No. "
" Lucas, I have got things to do and you're a King. You cannot cower inside your room for a day, " Ava, this time, sounded stern as she gave a strict glare to the King, who rolled his eyes, whining.
" Why can't I get a holiday? "
Ava huffed feeling done. She knew requests nor pleas wouldn't work right now according to her likes.
" Get one for yourself. Let. Me. Go. "
With the pressure on each word, Lucas, finally, half-heartedly let her slip out of his tight hold while also trying his best to cover up the effect Ava's stern voice had on him.
He was the King for God's sake and he couldn't show his weakness out of the blue.
He couldn't help but pucker his lips out seeing Ava immediately hopping out of the couch to stretch her limbs, satisfied with the bone-cracking sounds she, after not really bothering to glance at the sulking guy, walked off to the closed door.
" Hey– Ava, wait! "
Lucas jerked as Ava immediately whisked around stopping him at godspeed when his stomach did multiple flips at the same time.
