Sleeping Eric

Victoria's POV 

Slowly I rolled on the bed, and took in the fascinating smell coming from the bed.

I opened my eyes and frowned when I realized he was no longer on the bed.

Slowly, I stood up from the bed and grumbled when I realized he must have left.

I remembered all that happened last night, I knew I had a bad dream of that strange wolf and I knew Eric rushed into my room and lay on the bed to keep me warm, but I did not know when he left the room.

I stood up the bed, walked into the bathroom and watched my face before going back to the room.

I sat on the bed and smiled as I remembered all that happened last night.

I could still feel the warmth of his body and the strong, fascinating scent coming from his body.

I ran my fingers through my body and remembered his soft and tender kiss on my forehead and cheek.

I stood up from the bed, left the room and went downstairs.

I got downstairs and met Eric's housekeeper setting the table for breakfast.

''Good morning.'' I greeted while pulling out a chair to sit.

''Morning.'' she flashed me a big smile and placed a cup in front of me

''You should have your breakfast, I don't think sir will be able to join you.''

''Why?'' I asked 

''Nothing, I think he hasn't been having a good sleep, so he should be resting.'' 

I wanted to ask why he wasn't having a good sleep, but I decided to let it be.

''Thank you.'' I smiled at her as she placed a plate of breakfast in front of me.

I picked up the spoon and stared eating while I take a sip of the tea.

I ate in total silence, with Eric in my thought.

I disliked the fact that he was not eating breakfast with me, I kept on staring at the empty chairs while I ate slowly.

I finished eating, thanked her for the food and made my way upstairs.

I was almost in my room when I noticed Eric's room was the room before mine.

Out of curiosity, I walked over to his door and stood for a while before knocking on the door softly but got no response from him.

Impatiently, I opened the door and walked in, while I closed the door gently and stood by the door.

I stared at sleeping Eric and felt my heart race in excitement as I stared at his sleeping face.

His thick black hair were messy and covered his eyes.

He slept like a baby without making a single sound like someone who was dead.

Slowly I walked up to him and stood by his side, I knelled on the floor and stared at the peaceful sight of him sleeping.

He was incredibly beautiful when he sleeps, and I couldn't hold back myself from trying to touch him.

I brought forth my hand and gently took away the hair from his Face, I moved a bit closer to inhale the warmth and fascinating scent coming from his body, when suddenly I met eyes with the most beautiful set of sleepy green eyes.
