Chapter 197
Time passed and without Killian having to help her, Amelia had fallen asleep with her on her own. In the middle of them talking, Killian realized her voice got quieter and eventually she stopped replying to him. It was either the exhaustion from their intimacy or her finally having a moment to rest after a busy day.
Killian wasn’t in need of the rest like Amelia was as time was different for his kind. He found himself unable to leave the bed to at least get something to drink. Amelia’s head was pressed against his chest, her left arm on his stomach, and her left leg thrown over his legs.
One of the two of them would be quite embarrassed in the morning while the other would find full enjoyment in it. Amelia had laid her head against his chest once before when she was deep in sleep and looking for something to get close to but it was never like this.
Killian stroked her hair, listening to the sound of her breathing and the pace of her heart. He occasionally stopped each time she moved in case he had accidentally woken her up but she was just getting closer to him.
In the silence of their room, he heard the howls of Loki and Asura which indicated their return to the castle and they would most likely make their way to this room. Normally Loki would be elsewhere but since he was getting attached to Amelia, Loki would try to search for her.
Killian no longer had a choice to get out of bed to deal with the warmth in their room and feed the wolves before they attack someone. He was perfectly fine with the heat but Amelia was sweating and sooner or later it would wake her up.
He carefully picked up her hand which was comfortably on his chest and placed it in between the both of them. Killian did the same with her foot and the last thing he needed to do was move her head. He grabbed an extra pillow and as he shifted his body to the side, he slide the pillow under her head.
"Finally," Killian muttered, getting off the side of the bed. Before he got take three steps forward, he turned to look at the bed and just as he sensed Amelia had woken up in a split second.
"Where are you going?" Amelia asked, covering her mouth with her hand as she yawned. She continued to lay on her side looking at Killian who was not too far away from the bed. "Are you trying to leave me when you promised you wouldn’t?" She looked up at his face to avoid the lower half since he was standing naked before her.
