Chapter 44 Chapter Forty-four

• The next morning, Ava woke up naked in bed, surrounded by her husband's energetic arms, while her right arm rested on his chest. At that moment, a question crossed her mind: "What time is it? I have to go to the company." She could hear Dante's soft and serene breathing. She didn't want to move to avoid waking him up. Gently, she began to free herself from his embrace. Her husband grunted slightly in his sleep, which made her smile. Just when she thought she had managed to free herself, his arms trapped her again and immobilized her.
• "Don't even think about it, doll," he grunted sleepily.
• Ava grabbed his forearms with her hands and tried to get him to let go.
