Seventeen

The next day, I woke up with Orel still beside me in the bed. I was sore. I should have paid attention when he said that the next step of our relationship could start, what was I expecting? Wooing? I was already his wife. Still I was shocked that he was still beside me, normally he would have been gone since dawn.  “Stop acting as if you are still sleeping wife.” Orel sleep filled voice said a moment before his hand dragged my body more closely to his.

“I was not acting” I lied through my teeth, I was acting. 

“Today, we will bathe together this morning then have breakfast before joining others.” Orel said ignoring my earlier statement.

“I should have known that the reason you remained behind was to drag me there and not for my company.” I grumbled as Orel smiled.

“The reason why I remained behind is to spend time with you.” He said as his hand drifted to my butt before he grabbed it
