Chapter 198: Bliss*
Rain woke up in an exceptionally good mood, especially when the first thing she saw was Alexander’s face, watching her quietly as he held her in his arms.
She smiled, murmuring, "Good morning. What time is it? How long have you been watching me?"
"It’s early, just past five. Go back to sleep," he hummed, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
She smiled, realizing she could actually take it easy for the day. She called Jane last night to say she’d be taking the day off today, but she still planned to work remotely. She just asked Jane to send over the files for her next case.
With a small pout, she muttered, "We still need to get back soon. I don’t want to slack off, especially now that I’m using your surname. I plan to visit some witnesses..."
Alexander chuckled, pulling her closer. "What’s so funny?" she grumbled. "I’m serious. I want the Lancaster name to be respected in the Court of Justice," she added, her voice filled with determination.
"Alright," he whispered with a tired smile. "How about one more hour of sleep, then breakfast, and we can leave by seven?" He stifled a yawn and said, "I can’t help it... I kept waking up just to look at you. So yeah, I’m a bit sleep-deprived right now. It’s hard to rest when all I want is to devour you," he admitted, not hiding his thoughts.
"Four days will pass before you know it," she teased with a mischievous smile. "Don’t worry, I’ll crawl all over you naked the moment it’s over."
Alexander groaned, and she laughed softly, snuggling closer. She wasn’t just teasing; she was already planning exactly how to serve herself as the ultimate temptation for him once her period ended.
