1142 Privilege

As Shui Xian woke up in the morning, he found Raelle nestled in his arms, her sleeping form exuding an ethereal grace. Her body temperature was cold and yet the warmth of her presence enveloped him. 

Gently, he traced the contours of her face, marveling at the softness of her skin and the peacefulness that radiated from within. It was rare for him to wake up and find her sleeping since she was used to waking up on time.

"Are you done?" 

Shui Xian's hand froze as he was tracing her lips when he heard her voice.

"You're awake?" he asked.

"I am awake."

"Since when?"

"Since the beginning."

Shui Xian pursed his lips but he wasn't embarrassed at being caught. Why would he be? He was with his wife. Besides, he had traced every part of her body with his lips, how would tracing her face with his finger could be any different? 

Raelle opened her lips and bit his finger that was right beside her lips.
