Blair stirred, her body heavy with sleep, warmth cocooning her from all sides. She stretched slightly, only to pause when she felt eyes on her. Slowly, she blinked her way awake, turning her head to find Roman watching her from his place beside her.

“You’re staring,” she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.

Roman’s lips curved slightly. “You’re beautiful when you sleep.”

Blair felt a flush creep up her neck as she buried her face into the pillow. “That’s unfair. I probably look a mess.” Thinking her long hair would be all over the place.

“You look like mine,” he said simply, reaching out to brush his fingers over her cheek.

She exhaled softly, leaning into his touch. “I am yours. Sir…”

His eyes darkened at her words, and for a moment, she thought he might roll over and claim her all over again. He leaned in, brushing his lips against hers in a slow, lazy kiss that sent warmth spiraling through her.

Then he groaned, pressing his forehead against hers. “Fuck. I have a meeting at nine. We need to get moving, or do you want to stay home today?”

“I’m fine working today. I’m only sore. Nothing is broken.” Blair reminded him.

Blair laughed softly when he leaned down to kiss her again, slipping out of bed before he could trap her beneath him. “If you need to get to work, stop kissing me.”

Roman smirked. “That’s impossible.”

As she stood, a small wince crossed her face. The moment she stretched, the stiffness in her body from yesterday’s events made itself known. Every muscle ached, a deep soreness settling into her limbs. She rolled her shoulders, stretching. carefully, but Roman caught the subtle tension in her movements.

His gaze sharpened as he sat up. “You’re sore.”

Blair turned toward him, lifting a brow. “I was always going to be sore after yesterday, Roman. Whether it was from the accident or what happened between us last night, my body was in for it.”
