“Cas-pian…”
And he looked back to see that she was biting her lower lip as though she greatly enjoyed that kiss. 
He smirked again and whispered in his deeply seductive voice, “I like my name even more ever since I started hearing it from your beautiful lips. And I like it even further when you say it in that hushed tone.”
Anastasia had no idea what Caspian was hinting at yet.
So he dropped some more hints, “Wife, weren’t you asking me what the first night meant? Let me show you.”

Conquering His Cold Heart

Anastasia took a breath of relief when she saw Martha walking inside the antechamber instead of Caspian. If it was Caspian, she was sure that he would suspect that she was hiding something because of the slightly nervous look on her face as well as her fast-beating heart. 


“My Queen,” Martha gave a gentle bow to Anastasia when she saw her awake and then asked, “How are you feeling now?” 


Anastasia took a deep breath and rubbed her palms over her face and eyes. And she replied, “I’m still feeling a little groggy. I keep on forgetting that afternoon naps aren’t as rejuvenating as the full night’s sleep.” 


“Is there anything that I can do about it? Maybe you would like to get a nice massage?” Martha asked so that the Queen wouldn’t send her away saying that she was going to continue her sleep and end up doing something to herself.
