NORA'S POV

I wake up for two reasons. I am hungry as fuck because someone used all their energy last night. Another reason, something really smells amazing which forces me to get out of my bed and freshen up.

I freshen up. I search for his shirt in the wardrobe and find a white button down shirt and am contemplating if I should wear pants or joggers.

I totally ditch my pants and wear a nice lacy lingerie.

Fuck yeah!! I am feeling sexy as fuck and yes, I am also trying to overcome my insecurities.

I walk towards the kitchen and see him shirtless and cooking.

Dang!!! Am I in heaven? He is such a beautiful sight to my eyes.

I tip-toe towards him and hug him from back.

"Good morning, handsome!"

His back muscles tense and he lets out a chuckle.

"Thought I would surprise you with amazing breakfast in bed but you woke up."

I chuckle.

He turns around and pecks me.

"That sounded good but I couldn't wait because I was hungry and it smelled so good."

He nods.

He leans forward and whispers in my ear.

"Did someone take your energy too much?"

My face and ears turns red.

"Nah, I couldn't have dinner yesterday." His face turns more serious.

"Why?" I help him to set the table.

"Well, it was too chaotic yesterday. Everything seemed too disorganised. They were uncomfortable and so was I. I personally looked upon all the arrangements so I don't know what went wrong."

I sigh. He silently listens to me talk.

"What about your agent? It's her work to sort out the mess and help you do it."

I sigh again.

"I don't know what's wrong with her. She has been distracted for a while. I tried to ask her but no answers."

He nods. I take a seat next to him and he frowns.

"Maybe she is stressed just as I am with the book release. I think we will have a discussion."

He is still frowning.

I lean against the table.

"What got you frowning, Young man?"

He puts the fork aside. He pecks my cheek.

"You are too far from me"

I roll my eyes.

"I am sitting right next to you, Kai."

He shakes his head. I get out of the seat and sit on his lap.

"Now, is it better?" He smirks.

"Very!!" He whispers to my ear and I get butterflies.

Great!!

"Someone stole my shirt." I avoid meeting his eyes.

"Well, I liked it so I wore it."

His hands snake around my waist and I lean on his shoulder.
