I woke up feeling somewhat sore between my legs, I reached next to me for Mike but the space was empty. I forced my eyes open to make sure he wasn't there, my heart sunk.

I pondered whether I had any regrets about last night but I had none, only a wide grin on my face and his t-shirt on. I heard the lock turn, my eyes shuttered closed.

Mikes masculine perfume filled the room. The bed dipped and I knew he was there next to me. He run his finger along my lower lip and I shut my eyes tightly.

"Good morning my queen, your kingdom needs you," he whispered on my ear, his warm breath caressing my neck.

I giggled and slowly opened my eyes.

Mike laid on his side propped on his elbow, he was staring down at me a mischievous grin on his face.

He had grey pants on and was bare chest, oh my God!

"How did you sleep?" He inquired his middle finger still brushing my lower lip.

"Um, fine, " I let out.

"I did too. I made you breakfast," he said getting up and carrying a tray from the bedside table. I sat up my upper body resting against the headboard.

"What's this, Mike?" I implored signalling to the tray full of food he had set on the bed.

"I'd like to assume it's food, my love, " he smirked.

The breakfast could feed an army; toast sandwiches, chocolate croissants, sausages, strawberries, black coffee, orange juice and. . . a red rose flower.

"Where did you get the flower?" I asked picking it from the tray and brought it to my nose. It wasn't fresh, maybe a day or two old.

"Trust me you don't wanna know the answer to that, let's eat?" He asked planting a soft kiss on my temple. "It was supposed to be romantic, " he added.

"It is, thanks for everything," I mumbled.

" I hope you're not thanking me for making love to you," he teased. I felt my face heat up.

"Stop," I said draping my face with my hands.

"Why are you embarrassed? You have no idea how amazing it feels to make love to you, Nas. I didn't make love to you just to get off, I made love to you because I love you. You know that right?" Mike said sounding serious.

I nodded. It was hard for me to find words given the way he sounded so passionate.

He grabbed both my hands in one of his hand and slowly dragged them from my face, our eyes met.

"No words are sufficient to describe how beautiful you are, my love," Mike adored.

"Thank you," l whispered.

"You must be famished, let's eat, " he said handing me a chocolate croissant and coffee.

I grabbed the sandwich and took a bite, you don't realise how hungry you are not until you start eating. We ate in silence stealing glances at each other.

"You said to ask a question if I spend the night with you," I said matter-of-factly.

Mike cocked me an eyebrow as if to ask me, do you have to?
