Chapter 144

CAMILLA’S POV

It felt almost weird for things to be this calm. I couldn’t remember the last time I had such an easygoing day. I woke up in my mate’s arms and there was no rush, I could just lie down and watch him sleep. Most days, Ryker was up before I even thought about stirring but he came in late last night and I had already gone to bed. I had no idea what he was doing before bed and as curious as I was, I realized that it wasn’t very important.

He looked a thousand years younger when he slept and when his hair fell over his face, I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out to tuck it back. On hindsight, I probably should have left it alone because Ryker was a very light sleeper and the moment I touched him, I heard him breathing change.

was already squirming against him. He smiled against my skin, delighted with himself that he was able to elicit such a reaction out of me. On a normal day, I would have turned the tables on him but I was far too turned on to think about that. I just wanted to feel him everywhere and he knew it, that was exactly why he was taking his precious

time.

“Ryker,” I moaned when his lips began to trail down my collarbone.

“Relax, love, I know,” his lips ghosted over my nipples and my back arched off the bed. The nightgown was made of the softest silk and I could feel every move he made almost more intensely because of the friction.copy right hot novel pub
