CHAPTER 42

Riley

I wake up to William lightly snoring. His chest is rising and falling to indicate he is still asleep, and his hand is resting over me. Large fingers make it hard to move, and I growl in frustration when I find myself stuck.

"William..." I growl.

There isn't a response.

My lips twitch, and I raise my voice. "William, it's time to wake up."

Again, there isn't a response, but when I lift my chin, I can see my mate's lips curling into a mischievous smile. William is awake. His breathing is different too, and I roll my eyes.

"Are you going to lift your hand or not?"

William stifles a laugh. "I can't hear you. I'm still asleep..."

"Seriously?!" I growl and squirm in an attempt to break free from his hand holding me. But I'm getting nowhere. William doesn't even put in an effort. He is playing with me, and I glare up at his chin. "This isn't funny!"

"I think this is plenty of fun," He teases.

"No, it's not!"
