Letitia wakes up in the morning, naked under the furry sheets. Her husband—who she married last night is very deep in slumber with some of his saliva wetting the side of his cheek. Looking at him, she remembers his steamy face as he made love to her.
Her face turns red, feeling it throbbing like a beating heart. She covers it with her hands while breathing through her teeth. She finds her clothes under the sheets and was about to wear them when he grabs her hand, stopping her.
After yawning, he says, "Let's stay like this for a while, babe." He pulls her into his embrace.
She tries to gently get away from him while saying, "I'm sorry, I have to go and work."
"No, you don't need to do that."
"I'm the Royal Blacksmith. I should be leading the effort in restoring homes."
