Chapter 43: Bad Words

TRAE’S POV*

*The next morning…*

I woke before dawn, consumed by an urgent craving for more of Mira. I had to pinch myself—had last night truly happened? Her presence had permeated my mind and dreams throughout the night, even more intensely than before.

Watching her sleep peacefully, the golden strands of her hair and the emerald stone on her necklace shimmering in the soft morning light, I couldn't help but feel entranced by her.

Her breathtaking green eyes slowly fluttered open, as if sensing my gaze upon her.

"Good morning," she smiled shyly.

"Good morning. How did you sleep?" I asked.

She stretched her limbs, her naked breasts making a taunting appearance as her blanket fell off.

"Oh, you know... Like I just finally got laid for the first time," she teased, a mischievous glimmer in her eyes.

"So, you slept well then?" I wondered with a hint of anxiety in my voice.

"The best sleep I've had in ages," she replied, her smile radiating contentment.
