Imogen

I sleep like a rock.

When I wake up, I feel sore and all buzzy from the night before. I groan lightly as I stretch my limbs. I'd fallen asleep in Aleks' arms. And it was the best sleep I've gotten in months. I sit up groggily, the drapes are open and it's bright and warm in the room.

I figured Aleks got up already and was up to god knows what.

But then I look to my left and almost gasp when I see his naked, tattooed covered back facing me. The sheets are bundled around his hips, and his brown hair is messier than ever.

Aleks is asleep.

I feel my eyes widen and a big smile slowly comes across my face.

I try not to squeal with happiness.

Then something occurs to me.

Oh, god.

Is he dead?!

I bend over him and listen for his breathing.

I'm relieved when I hear the faint sound of his breath and notice his chest moving up and down ever so slightly.

"What the fuck are you doing, kotenok?" he grumbles into the pillow.

"Crap. I woke you..." I sigh.

Aleks grunts, and in a movement that is far too swift, he's turned, grabbed me and pulled me into him again.

I rub up against him like an animal in fucking heat.

"I thought you might be dead," I whisper.

Aleks still hasn't opened his eyes.

"Why..." he deadpans with a sleepy, groggy voice that is way too fucking cute on him.

"Well, you were asleep! The sun is shining. You are asleep in the late morning."

"We'll blame jetlag."

"We'll blame my magnificent blow job," I smirk.

Aleks opens one eye, a small grin coming over his face.

"You just said blow job without blushing. I'm impressed."

"Thank you, I am trying very hard," I tease.

His hand roams down my naked body, cupping my ass and squeezing.

"How did you sleep?" he asks.

"Great," I whisper, smiling into his chest, kissing the Juliet Rose tattoo in the center of it. "And you?"

"I can't remember the last time I slept through the night."

"You're welcome," I chirp.

"I guess you'll have to give me blow jobs every night from now on."

"A burden and a sacrifice. But one I am willing to make for the greater good."

"Smart ass," he grumbles before smacking my ass.

I giggle and kiss him quickly before pushing myself out of bed. I need a shower. Desperately.

I almost moan in pleasure when I step into the bathroom and see the luxurious shower. And oh god, that tub. It's massive – looking more like a small pool than a bathtub. I most certainly will be using that later.
