Chapter 197: Once is never enough
"Wow..." I blinked at the dancing light on the ceiling, dazed.
I didn’t remember when I did fall asleep, but I remembered feeling so so so good and comfortable before closing my eyes. It was weird that the memory was blurry, but the sensation was so vivid I could recall it now, the moment I woke up.
My entire nerves seemed so~ relaxed. My body sunk to the mattress as if I was sleeping on a bed magical cloud. Wait--was Cloud actually soft? I had no idea, since I never flew with a plane before.
I tilted my head left and right, wriggling my feet beneath the blanket and accidentally touched a cold skin. I flinched a little bit and turned my head to the side.
"Oh--"
I clasped my hands above my mouth to prevent myself from yelping in surprise, because Natha had been silently looking at me--no idea how long already. He was laying on his side, hand propping his head. The silver eyes were gleaming softly with the light from the peeking sunlight, and he had an amused smile on his face.
I pulled the blanket up to my cheek, feeling the surge of embarrassment burning my face. It was dawn on me now what we did last night--no, actually, it was evening, but both of us were exhausted for many reasons, so we fell asleep before it got truly dark.
Hmm...was that why I felt so refreshed? I slept for so long.
As I mulled over this, my cheek--the part peeking out of the blanket--was caressed by cold fingers. "How’s your body?"
"...Good," I replied, dazedly looking at his handsome face. Goddess--he looked even more beautiful like this, looking soft and relaxed. The dark circles had gone, and his eyes were bright. "Great..."
He hooked his finger on the edge of my blanket and pulled it down slightly until my face was uncovered. He continued caressing me, rubbing the flesh underneath my eyes, brushing my hair to the side. "Are you sure? You said it hurts last night."
