Snapping at me

Lucius hugged Layla from behind, wrapping a warm blanket around her as she stood on the balcony of their hotel room. "It's cold here, wife. I told you to wait for me in bed," he murmured, his voice filled with concern.

"I wanted to take some fresh air," Layla replied, tilting her head over her shoulder to look at him. His damp hair, freshly tousled from his shower, fell charmingly across his forehead.

She turned to face him fully and kissed his lips while smiling.

She turned to face him fully, her eyes glinting with mischief before pressing a soft kiss to his lips, a smile tugging at her mouth.

"Is this your new way of recharging me?" Lucius asked with a playful, teasing grin.

Without waiting for a reply, he dipped his head, his lips finding the hollow of her throat. He kissed her there, his touch lingering, igniting a shiver down her spine. Layla bit her bottom lip, her breath hitching as she leaned closer, her fingers trailing along his jaw.
