Chapter 233: Stress Relief Part 1 (Mature)
Ravi woke up even before the first rays of the sun peeked through the curtain. He blinked when he felt his head pillowed on hard ribs. They had shifted during the night and Ravi was now lying on Arlen’s stomach and his arms were still across Ravi, curled to keep him close.
Ravi knew that the bed was large enough for two men to sleep comfortably, he had even given Arlen enough space so that he could sleep more comfortably, and yet they had somehow ended up like this. He skated his fingers up Arlen’s arms where it was draped over his torso. The weather was cooler but the skin under his touch was still warm.
He sat up, moving away from Arlen’s hold but still close enough that he could trail his fingers into the soft blonde hair. Arlen did not sleep with a top and Ravi had a clear view of the slope of his shoulders, and the shadowed muscles of his arms. The lines on his pale, flat belly.
He swallowed and shook his head.
He should probably go downstairs and get started on breakfast. With the case, he always came back late so early mornings were the time he and Asher normally chatted about school and work. But even as his mind thought so, he couldn’t pull away from caressing Arlen’s hair and watching the young man who was sleeping peacefully.
Perhaps because he was feeling a tad warm, a flush spread from his cheeks to his ears, and the corners of his eyes were curved upwards, his lips moving slightly.
"I don’t mind if you want to paint me. Just pay me the 20% model fee." A sleepy murmur left Arlen’s lips and he adjusted himself so he could see Ravi better.
His brows first twitched and he opened his eyes dazedly, blinking three times, and then locking on his.
"Good morning, love." He slowly got up, hovering his before he leaned in and kissed him.
