Chapter 46: Shattering the innocence of the kiss
Alora turned around as her hand rested on something solid, which turned out to be Magnus’s chest. Feeling the coldness of the skin, she gradually opened her eyes and saw Magnus sleeping beside her. Seeing the natural sunlight falling inside through the windows, she realized it was morning.
Slowly, Alora withdrew her hand from his chest and thought to quietly get down from the bed without disturbing his sleep. However, Magnus pulled her down and snuggled to her.
"Is His Highness awake?" Alora asked.
"Hmm. You woke me up," Magnus replied and inhaled her scent. His lips brushed her earlobe, causing her to curl her fingers.
"Forgive me," Alora apologized.
"Will you help me wash today, especially my hair?" Magnus asked.
"Sure," she agreed. "When did His Highness return?"
"I returned at midnight," he answered and began caressing her hair. "I heard from Tobias, that you practiced writing last night. Do you wish to go out today?" He asked.
Alora tilted her head. "Where will you take me?" she inquired.
