Chapter 67: A Man Of Many Talents
The morning sun streamed through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow on Lyse’s face. She stirred, her eyelids fluttering open. Levi was beside her, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart flutter. A soft smile played on his lips as he leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"Good morning, beautiful," he murmured, his voice husky with sleep.
Lyse smiled back, snuggling closer to him. "Morning, Levi."
She was surprised and grateful for the lack of awkwardness the morning after. Her body ached, she was sore in sensitive places and she felt a little shy but Levi made her feel comfortable.
He pulled her closer against him, the warmth of their bodies and the comfort of each other’s presence soothing their souls. As the sun climbed higher, they reluctantly pulled apart, the lingering warmth of their embrace still lingering in the air.
"I am going to make breakfast," Levi announced, rising from the bed. "You just relax."
Lyse watched him with amusement and raised an eyebrow. "You, cook breakfast?" she teased. "This I definitely have to see."
Levi grinned. "I am a man of many talents, my darling."
Together they went to the kitchen where Mrs Evelyn was. To her credit she did not bat an eyelash at seeing Lyse wearing what was obviously Levi’s shirt after spending a night for the first time in his room.
"Good morning Mr Levi, good morning Mrs Lyse." She greeted. "Is there something you would like me to prepare for you to eat this morning?" She asked.
"No, Mrs Evelyn." Levi answered, "I will be in charge of the kitchen this morning."
