Morning disappointment

Aria's pov

I woke up to the sun streaming through the windows, I yawned and looked to the side, a pang of disappointment hit me when I saw the empty side of his bed.

I was hoping to be woken with something more delicious than last night but I guess that was over.

I padded over to the full length mirror and blushed when I saw the marks he had left on me. Not just the mating marks but bite marks decorated every inch of my skin.

He was certainly ferocious last night, I don't know how long we went at it until we were both sated.

It wasn't a memory I was bound to forget soon. A knock on the door distracted me and I walked to open it.

It opened, revealing a maid standing outside. She was different from the ones I'd seen yesterday, her demeanor more formal. She bowed deeply, her voice soft and respectful.

"Your Highness, I am here to assist you with your morning preparations," she said, her eyes lowered.
