---- Chapter 174 He slowly pulled out and left the bed only to return back a moment later with a warm damp cloth. After he cleaned us both up a bit, he lowered himself down to lie next to me. | could hardly keep my eyes open. Alexander tucked me close to his side, pressing a short kiss to my head "Sleep, sweetheart." "Mmh." | was too tired to respond with anything else. | was more than happy to let my eyes remain shut and allow my exhaustion to take over. For the first time in what may have been forever, | finally felt satiated and content.

[Third-Person's POV] The following morning, Alexander woke up in the sweetest way imaginable. Still warm under the covers. Naked. And wrapped around his perfect wife. She was utterly magnificent last night. ---- Every sound she made-every flawless move of her hips against, Evelyn proved herself to be entirely capable. Of course, he worried that he'd been a bit too rough with her at times. After all, that had been their first time together, nor more than her first time ever. Last night had been wonderful on multiple accounts.

It made him realize that there was so much he'd been missing out on with his own wife Sure, it wasn't uncommon for them to share meals together. However, dinner last night felt so much more intimate and personal. For a man who wasn't able to let himself be vulnerable, he found it incredibly easy to let his mental walls down around her. Although, there was one topic that kept rushing to the front of his mind. Evelyn's brother. It was a horrible thing that happened to him. Acomplete freak accident...Much like the car accident that had taken place all those months ago.

He felt Evelyn begin to shift and stir next to him. Lazily, he dragged the tips of his fingers along the exposed part of her chest. Evelyn hummed and mewled while naturally pressing into his ---- hand. He loved how responsive she was to him. Slowly, her eyes began to flutter open. Evelyn gave herself a moment to stretch before taking in her surroundings. As her gaze came to land on him, he noticed the slight smile that ghosted over her lips. His heart clenched in his chest. "Good morning." "Mmm, morning," she said. He brushed her hair back from her face.

"How are you feeling?" "Abit sore," she mumbled through a shy smile. "But, there again, | haven't tried standing up yet." Awave of guilt swirled within him. "I'm sorry if | was too rough with you. | should have-" She pressed a few of her fingers to his mouth. "Shh. You didn't do anything | didn't want," she told him. "Alexander, last night...It was everything | could have hoped for." He was ready to argue and explain that she shouldn't be doing any sort of exerting work today. He knew that her muscles were going to be screaming the moment she got out of bed.

But he knew well enough that Evelyn wasn't going to listen to his reasoning. "Well, in that case," he slithered. "Care to join me for a shower?" ---- She arched her brow and nodded her head. Alexander got out of bed first and confidently padded his headway across the room. He turned to glance over his shoulder at Evelyn who was taking her moves rather slowly. He waited for her feet to hit the floor. As soon as they did, her knees began to wobble beyond her control and all he could do was chuckle as she cursed under her breath. It was, indeed, a glorious morning.
