Chapter 639. Grilled Steak
Mauve opened her eyes to see she was wrapped in an unmoving blanket. Thankfully, there was enough space for her to breathe. She tried to pull back, but Jael held her in a deadlock.
"Not yet," he mumbled and tightened his arms around her some more.
"Jael," she giggled. "We are going to miss the first meal at this rate."
"No, we won’t, since we would be having it right here."
Mauve pulled her head back to look up at him. Not that it made much difference; she still couldn’t see his face. "No, we are not," she mumbled.
"We both need rest. I’d rather spend it with you," he said.
Mauve scrunched her face as she tried to come up with a good enough reason why this wasn’t a good idea, but she knew Jael would counter everything. She didn’t feel as tired as she did before she slept, and now that she knew he was alright, she couldn’t be happier.
Mauve jerked her head towards the door as a knock echoed in the room, and then the doors were thrown open. Mill walked in holding a light. She walked in and closed the door behind herself. She stepped closer with the light in front of her and almost dropped it on the ground when she noticed Mauve wasn’t alone in bed.
"Sire!" She yelled out. "I didn’t know you were here. Oh, thank Goodness. I am so glad you are alright."
