QUICK AUTHOR NOTE:

Hey everyone! I know I don't really do author notes but I would just like to say a very big thank you :) I honestly thought that when I started writing it and finally decided to publish the first chapter that I'd only get a hundred reads. And one hundred reads? That's a lot and I was so over the moon when I saw that it was but I can't believe that it would would get this far! More than three and a half thousand reads already?! That's crazy and we're not even half way through the story! I know that I update at random times and I can relate to how annoyed people may get, but I do like to think the story line out when I'm writing so that I don't end up adding in thousands of plot twists that can make you guys confused. I do try my best and make sure I give you the best chapters that I can write. I hope to be able to update a lot more now, especially with Christmas and New Years done and dusted (happy 2020 and I hope you guys had a great Christmas). I would write a longer author's note but I said it would be quick, so with that being said, I hope you enjoy chapter twenty! Sorry for such a slow update!

:)

CHAPTER TWENTY

The sun rose once again and Audrielle's eyes fluttered open. Leo's strong arm was wrapped around her small body as she rested her face on his bare chest. Her eyes wandered from his chest towards his face where his eyes were closed and his lips were parted slightly. Just when Audrielle thought of getting up, she whimpered, her lower abdomen and legs feeling like jelly as if she had done an intense ab and leg workout. Lying back down with a huff, Audrielle's mind crawled to what had happened last night and a dark red blush sprayed her cheeks. The whole night they embraced each others bodies, which lead into the early morning. It wasn't until Audrielle saw the alarm clock that she had realised that it was two 'o' clock in the morning that they should probably stop and get some sleep.

"Good morning, beautiful." Leo whispered in her ear, his voice husky from him just waking up. Audrielle looked up at Leo with a warm smile as he placed a kiss on her head.

"The chef won't be making us breakfast this morning, but I can make you a cup of tea and a bowl of fruit salad if you'd like me too?" Leo offered, running his fingers along Audrielle's bikini tan line.

At the mention of food, her stomach grumbled loudly, causing her to frown and look away from Leo I'm embarrassment.

"I guess you are hungry after the workout I gave you last night." He chuckled, winking at Audrielle who thought she couldn't get even more embarrassed.

"Oh stop it." She muttered, gently slapping Leo's chest. They lied in bed for another few minutes until Leo's stomach growled and decided to get up to make some breakfast. Quickly looking away from Leo's make body, Audrielle asked if she could have a glass of orange juice instead of tea.

"Anything for my princess." Leo replied before leaving the bedroom. While Leo was downstairs cutting up fruits for breakfast and making his daily coffee, Audrielle rolled out of the bed and grabbed the closest piece of clothing next to her, which was the white dress shirt he wore last night to dinner. When she buttoned the shirt up, she couldn't help but hum in delight, it smelling like Leo's expensive cologne he wore.

Leaving the bedroom, Audrielle made her way downstairs and towards the kitchen where she could hear the coffee machine buzzing away. Suddenly, a loud squeal echoed around the room as Audrielle took in the surprise.

At the stove stood a naked Leo, his bare butt showing and his back muscles on full display. Audrielle tried not to laugh and made her way towards Leo. "Do you like what you see?" Leo winked and Audrielle let out a loud laugh.
