Off We Go

I opened my eyes to find Cecelia already awake. She was sitting up on the edge of the bed, staring down at her hand as she flexed her fingers open and closed. Noticing the confused expression on her face, I clued in that she was probably confused over how the level-up had suddenly increased her power. I had not yet explained my supernatural abilities to her, so she did not understand why she had woken up more potent than she went to sleep.

For a moment, I had a stupid idea but was able to suppress the urge to insinuate that it resulted from our lovemaking.

I still had to explain how I made the desk disappear from the Count's office and now, in addition, why she felt more powerful. Then, realizing we would have plenty of time for lengthy explanations during the slow wagon journey later today, I made a decision.
