Chapter 40: Pillow Talk

Serena woke up when she felt a wet cloth wiping her in between her legs.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Charlton said as he gave her a lopsided smile.

"No, it's alright. I also need to get going. What time is it?"

"It's just 2am. No need to rush." He replied as he placed the cloth back to the basin. Then he bent forward to kiss her lips.

She pushed him a little and covered her mouth. "I have stale breath" she explained seeing his confused face.

He chuckled. "There's an extra set in the bathroom."

Serena was quick to move. When she came back, Charlton was sitting on the bed his back plastered on the headboard.

"Come here and lie beside me. Do not go just yet, I'll walk you back later." He said as he patted the space beside him.

Serena snuggled his chest as she sat beside him. She felt him brush her hair with his palm. "This feels nice too."

"Yes, I wish we can be like this always. We never did get to lie in bed together before."
