Chapter 162: Increasingly Shameless
After a vigorous night of fervent lovemaking, Amelia woke up refreshed, even if her muscles ached at the workout. Matteo was snoring next to her, with the barest bit of drool gathered at the side of his lips. He seemed to be at peace as he slept, it was as though he had finally cast aside all his burdens.
Either that or their lovemaking was just so good that it made him forget about everything that was troubling him. The very thought was so ludicrous that she let out the tiniest of snorts, a hand slowly stroking his cheek. She gently wiped away the spot of drool with the pad of her thumb so as not to wake Matteo up, but his eyes fluttered open at her touch.
"Good morning," Matteo murmured quietly.
"Sshh, go back to sleep," Amelia said quietly. "We’re supposed to take a rest day, remember?"
Matteo’s lips quirked into a small smile, and he let out a pleased sigh. "You’re right, but you’re not taking your own advice." He propped his head on his arm and stared at her mischievously. "Or did I not tire you out enough yesterday night, so much so that you’re up so early in the morning?"
Amelia coughed weakly as memories of last night flooded her mind. "Well, I have to say that my experience was more than satisfactory. Perhaps... you might have stamina issues?" Amelia shot back playfully and was rewarded with Matteo pulling her down for a hot messy kiss that sent her head reeling.
"And you were saying?" Matteo raised an eyebrow in amusement as he stared up at his panting wife, loving the swollen redness of her lips. He reached out a hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, which was now also red with embarrassment.
Cute.
"I’ll reconsider my words," Amelia said breathlessly, her fingers instinctively going to smooth out the flyaway strands of his hair. Before she could lean back down and plant another kiss on her future husband’s mouth, her phone began to ring.
