A Normal Morning

A few hours after that incident, Alex started rousing from his sleep. He stretched a bit and hugged the plump form next to him.

Then his brain froze.

'Wait. The pillow is under my head… What am I hugging?'

He opened his eyes and saw the top of a red-haired head. His throat went dry as realization set in.

His body was already reacting instinctually to the female presence by his side, and he silently cursed himself. He tried sliding to the other side of the bed, trying hard not to wake her up.

"Mm… Five more minutes…" the woman next to him moaned, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Alexander cursed under his breath. He didn't want to wake the woman, but the situation was getting increasingly awkward for him.

A certain body part was getting more awake by the second, and he wanted nothing more than to leave her embrace, before something unbecoming happened.
