Chapter 88

She slowly opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings. She smiled as she did a lazy stretch feeling the delicious ache in some parts of her body. This was how a holiday should be. No stress, no arguing, and for the first time in a long time, she was feeling very energetic in the morning. She turned to her side and saw the bed was already empty. Lucas must have already gotten up. She got out of bed, smiling from ear to ear, Cheshire cat? Yeah, likes the Cheshire cat. She hummed softly as she stepped into the shower, having set the temperature to max. She quickly scrubbed herself, got out of the shower, did her daily morning routine, and stepped into the bedroom. She found Lucas relaxing on one of the lounge chairs busy reading the paper.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty," he muttered huskily as he slowly set the paper down, and his eyes raked hungrily over her body. She immediately felt herself getting red color flooded in her cheeks.
