Chapter 189

Lucianne woke up a few minutes before her 4 a.m. alarm with Xandar’s arm circled loosely around her abdomen. Very carefully, she pulled her shirt up her chest and over her head, trying not to alert her mate when she did it. After that, she slowly slipped off her shorts, and all that was left to do was to wait for her alarm to ring.

When it did, her body stretched over to the nightstand as usual, and Xandar’s hand on her abdomen tugged her back into bed like it always did. On a usual morning, if his hand made contact with her bare skin, it would instinctively rise up her body a little to find the hem of her shirt before pulling it back down to cover her abdomen.

This morning, however, when his hand tried looking for the hem, he ended up feeling Lucianne’s bare breast instead. He took a sharp breath to wake up, and Lucianne turned her body to face his. When his eyes barely opened, she trapped his lips in a deep kiss while her hand guided his hand to her bare buttocks.
