72 The Honeymoon
Chapter 72
Selena’s POV
Getting Charles to follow his doctor's orders is hard.
Not the “don't work, don't train” part, but avoiding “exercise” in bed.
I don't know how other couples get along, but when Charles and I finally recognized each other, we were like... ... conjoined twins. Charles wanted me around all the time, and I enjoyed being there for him.
Charles needs rest and no one to disturb him these days, so we have a lot of time to spend in bed. It is often that he deals with some work, and I lean on him to read a book. His hands seemed to be more nimble than they had been before the injury, and as I read and became enchanted, he wrapped his hands around my waist like a dormant snake, creeping upward, exploring. My body and soul tremble with them.
Our Breath has lost its rhythm, and they are entwined. He put his hand on my breast and gently massaged it. His lips were an inch from my mouth, and the aftershave smelled fresh, like grass and forest after a rain.
