In the middle of the sleep, Alice could feel something growing towards her. Not only that, her entire body was constantly sweating way too much. Yet the deep haziness over her body was hovering to the next extent.
It threw her into the ocean with the sweat and the wetness she felt all around her body. It was too heavy! However, then she felt the bed on the other hand shrinking. A frown was curved onto her forehead in her dream as she realized that someone was there.
Yet, the exhaustion had already taken control of her body right now. There was no option for her except to accept the deep sleep that was coming in her way.
There was no strength held in her to open her eyes. All she felt was hundreds of emotions going around.
'Who can be there to the point?' she was all over confused, and a bit alarmed. But her guard was raised when Alice felt someone tugging her.
Someone pulled her towards something really hard, as her waist was pulled backward. The thunder was resting in her brain but she maintained the silence.
With The bit of her sleep breaking, she was patted back by someone, as she felt someone caressing her forehead. When she was on the edge of losing her sleep, Alice could sense that something did happen. As if the heaviness was not enough for Alice to come across, she felt her limbs weighing even more.
There was no way for her to open her eyes, as she fell deep into sleep again.
However, this time, she had turned around to keep her head against any object before she felt some strong fragrance entering her nostrils. It gave her mind the calmness, where she was again dreaming.
Only if Alice had realized the horror she would be getting in the morning...
....
As the sun shone outside the small window, Alice's ears caught the sound of the chirping of the birds. It didn't strike her but her sleep did get disturbed. 'Is it already morning?' Alice wondered.
Trying to stretch her hand, at this point, Alice realized that she wasn't able to. Were her hands caged? Then why did she feel herself being hugged and held by someone in one place?
At this thought, Alice finally opened her eyes when she came across a fine jawline in her view.
For a few minutes, she was all silent. There was no sound made by her except to gulp the saliva present in her mouth, making her heart race even more. 'W-Who....'
As our Princess did move her head, to find the closeness of the vampire! She was sleeping with her husband?! The realization struck her mind in the wrong way as Alice finally found their situation.
She was literally held around by his hand where he was holding her like his pillow and sleeping. Was she some teddy bear to hold on to?
Alice's mind was way out of functioning, where there was no way she could process anything. Lifting her gaze again, Alice noted his heavy breathing, 'He is still asleep...' But then, as she traced her hand around him, she found herself actually resting her left hand at his chest.....the bare chest!
"WHAT THE HELL!"
Her shrill yell held the power to bring Prince Cyrus out of his deep sleep. Immediately, his eyes snapped open to see the lady was filled with horror in his arms, "What happened....."
"Get away from me!" Alice shouted again when she tried to break free from his embrace, "Gosh....are you fucking insane?" Alice can't help but ask, as the lines depend on her forehead.
With one leg tucked in between his legs, she found him to be half-naked!
Why does he sleep with nothing on his upper body? She was at least thankful that he had kept his pants!
If not, Jenifer had no idea how she would have reacted to this point even. Or maybe, she won't have not only shouted but tried to jump out.
Yeah, that would have told her to do it.
Yet she wasn't interested in being in contact with a vampire-like him! That was the last thought resting inside her mind.
In contrast to her, Cyrus seemed calmer, "You are overreacting early in the morning...let me sleep for a few more moments.."
"Are you not getting what I said?! Let me out!" Alice told again, where her awesome face gazed at his, "And where the hell is my shrug!? Why am I not wearing that?"
"Because you were the one who actually got out of that and said that you were feeling warm. Don't stare at me like that, princess.." he told his deep and husky voice, giving Alice the shivers down her spine.
He was looking too dashing for her to even describe. The devil would be nothing compared to him since his rough hair and half-end eyes were still holding the strong presence of aura.
"I removed my shrug?" In return, he didn't answer yet but the silence was itself an answer.
She wasn't any fool to believe that she would do such a crazy thing. At this point, Alice realized that one hand was tugging her waist while the other was near her shoulders...the bare skin at her back, which seemed to be exposed due to the absence of her drug.
'Damn it!' The curse rolled out of her lips.
As Alice tried her best to not stay in this intimate position again, Cyrus was annoyed and disturbed by her actions. With the frustrated looking that on his face, he finally broke the strings, "Are doing this intentionally Princess? because you want to test my wrath and that too on the first day of ours as a couple?"
"Wrath? You're the one who touched me without my permission!" Alice's words made his lips curl into the straight line before replying, "I don't have the privilege to touch my wife? I haven't seen anything inappropriate. Is sleeping while holding my wife considered to be a punishable offense to the Princess's eyes?"
What was he saying to her? When did she mention that it was a crime? Alice's lip sweet lips shut with the loss of words.
It was harder to defy but it never tampered with her urge to get out, "Are you letting me out or not?"
With this question on his face, prince Cyrus finally lifted his other arm which made Alice roll to the other side of the bed. She got up before Alice picked the shrug that was lying on the ground.
The knitted transparent net was also removed as she came across that the entire bedroom smelt different than before.
A fresh doubt landed on her heart where she highly doubted what was going around with her. Was She hallucinating? maybe?
"You aren't. You were feeling too hot last night and had urged you to actually take out the shrug. I simply let you do that." came the voice from the other side of the bed, which wasn't unknown to her either.
However, it was hard for Alice to believe that she actually considered doing this. Why? Her reason was very simple and that was to avoid any physical contact with this vampire.
Peeking at him from the corner of her eyes, she again asked, "Then tell me, why are you here in my chamber? Didn't you leave me alone with the ladies to do your work? So why did you return?"
"Am I not supposed to return and have the sleep?" he blurts question made Alice shook her head, "I meant what are you doing in my bed and in my chamber? Don't you know that this chamber is specially made for me? And, aren't the males having different chambers?"
"We do." Cyrus didn't either as he relaxingly kept his head against the headboard behind him, where his eyes lifted up, "But I have only returned back to my chamber."
Hearing this, Alice's mind didn't get the thought, "What do you mean by this?"
"This...." Prince Cyrus pointed at all the decor present in the place as well as the paintings, the walls of the bedroom, which made her heartbeat accelerate in its beating, "Is as per my taste and preference. This is my chamber, which they had shown you. So, technically, I have returned back to my place, so are you in your chamber. As a couple, we do have to share the chamber.."
"What rubbish!"
Didn't Lady Aura and Lady Ashley say that this is her own place? What does he mean by this?
As confusion started to linger around her, it was also sensed by Cyrus as he again told her, "You will have to get used to this.."
With this, he stood on his legs before he moved his legs in the direction of his bathing area.
However, he halted in the middle when he heard Alice's sarcastic comment, "But who actually sleeps naked like this? And that too, with whom you can't mate?"
