288 Anxiously

Next morning.

Scarlett's eyes fluttered open, greeted by the morning sun streaming through the window. 

As she glanced around the room, her gaze landed on her handsome husband, still asleep beside her. His naked body was wrapped tightly around hers, sending a shiver down her spine.

Despite being married for five months now, her heart raced like a wild stallion every time she woke up in his arms. Her mind flashed back to their steamy night in the bathroom, causing her cheeks to flush with desire.

Scarlett slowly tried to escape from his embrace, trying to avoid waking him up. But before she could escape, Xander's strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her back into his arms.

"Good morning, my dear," Xander muttered, his voice husky with sleep. He was only really able to sleep before morning.
